Even an inexperienced driver knows how much depends on the quality and reliability of a car battery. Good for someone who knows which brand of battery is best to buy. But for those who encounter this problem for the first time, it is very easy to get lost in the whole variety of manufacturers and models. The best recommendations are considered user feedback, based on them, we created this little review.
Optima
In the first place this brand is brought by the Optima RED TOP model, which, despite the high price, has 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 properly (even with a damaged case). This makes it invincible gel electrolyte, which is in the envelope separators, having a porous structure.
To increase the contact area of the electrolyte and electrodes, the latter decided to perform as a spiral. This approach has increased the battery life (the number of recharge cycles) by one third and provided an ultra-high starting current - 815 A, which will drive your car even in extreme cold conditions.
Battery weight - 17 kg.
Type - unattended.
Bosch
If buying an expensive elite class battery seems irrational to you, then it is better to choose a Bosch battery, namely a model from the Bosch Silver series. These are quite reliable middle class devices. High quality and reasonable cost allow this brand for a long time to occupy a leading position in the global automotive market.
This line includes models with capacities from 36 to 100 Ah. The starting current is 420A, while the battery weighs 15 kg. Users note the following benefits:
- Silver has been added to the battery plates, which increases the service life of the device.
- The battery has a mechanism that contributes to the condensation of the evaporating electrolyte and its return to the section. Therefore, there are no plugs on the battery cover.
- A hydrometer is mounted on the lid - a special indicator that changes color depending on the charge level.
- The battery case is made by a special technology, which eliminates the possibility of forgery.
Battery type - calcium maintenance-free.
Varta
Among the Russian motorists, especially those who live in the northern regions of the country, the Varta Silver Dynamic series batteries are very popular. The main advantage of these devices is a high starting current, reaching 540 A.
In order to achieve these indicators, the engineers of the company gave a special shape to the plates and included in their composition a certain amount of silver, thus increasing the contact area of the electrodes with the electrolyte and reducing their resistance. Battery weight is about 15 kg.
Bison magnum
The calcium accumulator of unattended type, produced in Belarus. In the production of using high-quality components from the best foreign manufacturers and technology provided by the well-known company EXIDE. The model range does not indulge a variety, in it only two positions: batteries with a capacity of 57 AH and 63 AH. But the company is developing quite intensively, so that in the near future we can expect the expansion of the line.
Batteries Bison Magnum produce a current of 500 A, which is quite enough to start the engine, even in severe frosts. Plate electrodes are placed in the envelopes of the separators, which eliminates the possibility of circuit. Due to the almost complete absence of self-discharge, this model of car battery 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.Engineers of the company increased the number of plates, and for the manufacture of envelopes separators used materials with low electrical resistance.
The presence of a charge in the battery can be monitored using the built-in Magic Eye indicator. Proof of the high quality of these sources is a solid warranty period provided by the manufacturer. He is 24 months.
