Powering what matters

You might not know it, but GS Yuasa batteries power thousands of applications that enable our everyday lives.

Our batteries provide reliable energy behind the scenes to keep your daily life moving. From starting your car to go to the shops, to the GPS signal your sat nav uses to get there. We even support your bank’s IT systems that allow you to pay by card and much more.

Here are a few more examples of some of our favourites…
