Even the inexperienced driver knows how much depends on the quality and reliability of the car battery. Well, to someone who knows which battery is best to buy. But for those who face this problem for the first time, it is very easy to get lost in all variety of manufacturers and models. The best recommendations are user reviews, based on them, we created this small overview.
Optima
In the first place this model displays the model Optima RED TOP, which, despite the high price, earned deserved popularity among domestic consumers. This battery is not afraid of frost. It can be installed in any spatial position - the battery will still perform its tasks correctly( even with a damaged case).Such an invincible gel electrolyte makes it, which is in envelopes-separators having a porous structure.
To increase the contact area of the electrolyte and electrodes, the latter were decided to be made in the form of a spiral. This approach increased the battery life( the number of recharge cycles) by a third and provided an ultra high starting current of 815 A, which will drive your car even in extreme cold.
The weight of the battery is 17 kg.
Type - maintenance-free.
Bosch
If buying an expensive high-end battery seems irrational to you, then it's better to choose a Bosch battery, namely a Bosch Silver model. This is a fairly reliable device of the middle class. High quality and reasonable cost allow this brand to occupy a leading position in the world car market for a long time.
In this line are models with a capacity from 36 to 100 Ah. The starting current is 420A, while the battery weight is 15 kg. Users note the following advantages:
- Silver battery is added to the battery plates, which increases the service life of the device.
- The battery has a mechanism that facilitates the condensation of the evaporating electrolyte and its return to the section. Therefore, the plugs on the battery cover are missing.
- On the cover is installed a hydrometer - a special indicator, changing its color depending on the level of the charge.
- The battery case is manufactured using a special technology, which eliminates the possibility of counterfeiting. Type of battery - calcium-free.
Varta
Among the Russian motorists, especially those who live in the northern regions of the country, the batteries of the Varta Silver Dynamic series are very popular. The main advantage of these devices is the high starting current reaching 540 A.
In order to achieve such parameters, the engineers of the company have given a special form to the plates and included in their composition a certain amount of silver, thus increasing the contact area of electrodes with electrolyte and lowering their resistance. The weight of the battery is about 15 kg.
Bison Magnum
Calcium battery of non-maintenance type, produced in Belarus. The production uses high-quality components from the best foreign manufacturers and the technology provided by the famous company EXIDE.The model range does not spoil the variety, it has only two positions: batteries with a capacity of 57 AC and 63 AC.But the company is developing quite intensively, so that soon it will be possible to expect the expansion of the line.
Batteries The Magnum Bison produces a current of 500 A, which is enough to start the engine even in severe frosts. Plate-electrodes are placed in envelopes separators, which eliminates the possibility of closure. Due to the almost complete lack of self-discharge, this battery model for a car can do without recharging for a year.
Sada
The recently released battery series( Sada Profi) from this manufacturer is characterized by a high starting current and was developed primarily for diesel. The company's engineers increased the number of plates, and for the manufacture of envelopes of separators, materials with reduced electric resistance were used.
The presence of a charge in the battery can be controlled with the built-in Magic Eye indicator. Proof of the high quality of these sources is the solid warranty period provided by the manufacturer. He is 24 months old.
