Step 1
Determine the meaning of the inscriptions on the terminals of the Japanese batteries. According to the Jis standard, they can have three kinds of terminals. T1 - type of terminals with a positive diameter - 14, 7mm, negative - 13mm, it has the shape of a truncated cone. This is the most familiar option for our perception. T2 - terminals with diameters of 19, 5 and 17, 9 millimeters, respectively. This marking of the battery means its high capacity. Terminals with T3 designation are special, they have flat pins with holes. They are installed mainly on A19 batteries. T2 are the most common on the Russian market, they are standard, available on all types of both Russian and European batteries. T1 is a specific Japanese terminal common in right-hand drive vehicles.
Step 2
Decipher the labeling of the batteries. The most detailed model is the 55B24R. 55 indicates the performance of the battery, its electrical capacity. This parameter is rather virtual. This characteristic is comparative, it depends on many factors, the 45th European corresponds to the Japanese parameter 55. B is the class of the battery. This value indicates its width. A are small motorcycle batteries. The most common is B, which stands for Gasoline. Class D is installed on powerful cars, usually diesel ones. The rest of the classes rarely get to the CIS countries, most often together with the cars of the lift class.
Step 3
Determine the length of the battery by the last digit in the marking, for example, in the case of 55B24R, this is 24 centimeters. The Japanese claim that this value is approximate, the error may be about three millimeters. The last letter of the battery label means right / left (R / L, respectively).
