GS Yuasa has developed three new ECO.R IS (EIS) battery products for idle-stop vehicles, expanding its lineup to seven models.
Launched in 2009, EIS is a replacement battery lineup designed specifically for vehicles with stop-start systems. Compared with conventional engine-start batteries, the cells for idle-stop vehicles require high durability and charge acceptance to cope with the extra load.

GS Yuasa says EIS was designed specifically for idle-stop vehicles and their severe operating environments. The replacement batteries are sold by vehicle dealers, auto parts stores, petrol stations, and other retailers throughout Japan.
The addition of the new EIS battery models means that GS Yuasa batteries can be installed in nearly every type of idle-stop minicar sold in Japan. Additionally, the EIS-Q-85 and EIS-T-110 models have been launched as replacement batteries for full-size idle-stop passenger vehicles.
ECO.R IS characteristics are said to be as follows:
• Installation in idle-stop vehicles means a reduction of CO2 emissions
• Claimed 280% improvement in durability through adoption of highly durable grid and hard-paste technologies
• Claimed 133% improvement in charge acceptance through optimised negative plate and an increase in the number of plates
• Product Warranty: 18 months or 30,000km (whichever comes first after purchase)
