Korean car battery manufacturers are leading the market. It is most preferable to purchase a battery made in Korea, which uses modern calcium cells. Good performance, affordable price of batteries and the use of American production technologies set them apart from other manufacturers.

Types and varieties

There are three types of batteries:

• produced by AGM technology have high power characteristics;
• lead-acid are characterized by low self-discharge, cost and lack of "memory effect";
• GEL batteries with high amperage regardless of battery level.

In addition, there are three main classes of batteries:

• Unattended.
• Low-served.
• Serviced.

Features

To choose the rightbattery for a Korean or Japanese car, you need to know their features and differences from other models. The vast majority of batteries from Korea are produced in accordance with the JIS D 5301 standard. This battery standard has also been adopted in Japan.

Even a cursory examination of this battery, you can see that it differs from the European one in greater height and shorter length. In addition, its terminals have a smaller thickness. In the line of Korean manufacturers there are a number of models with a diameter of battery terminals in accordance with the European standard. At the same time, they protrude significantly above the body. And at the bottom they do not have a protrusion for attaching the battery, as in Europe. But Korean companies also produce European models.

Among the distinguishing features is their higher starting current.

Benefits

The products of the Korean automotive industry are widely known all over the world. These are the cars themselves and their components.

The advantages of Korean-made car batteries include factors such as:

• recovery even after full discharge;
• high reserve capacity;
• starting energy reduced by a single current;
• service life.

Marking of Korean car batteries

From the labeling of batteries, you can learn some useful information. It usually contains the following information:

• Performance level - number,reflecting the ratio of cold crank current and battery capacity.
• Size - designation of width (Latin A) and height (Latin H).
• Polarity - if the "minus" terminal is on the left, then L is indicated, and if on the right, then R is put in the marking.
• According to JIS D 5301 standards, the name of the manufacturing company and the date of issue must be on the battery.
• Length - value in centimeters.

Next, consider the well-known brands of batteries from Korea.

Delkor batteries

This South Korean company has been in the automotive battery market for over 20 years. The company produces almost all standard sizes of batteries used in the world. According to reviews of Korean car batteries of this brand, they last 20-30% longer than their counterparts from other companies.

One of the features of the production technology of the Delkor brand is also the release of cold forged battery plates made of an alloy of calcium and lead.

Specifications:

• during long-term operation - 100% maintenance-free;
• Traditional antimony in the battery plate alloy was replaced with calcium with silver impurities, which increased power and reduced internal resistance;
• a very convenient special charge sensor allows you to notice the discharge of the battery in time and carry out a preventive charge of the Korean battery with an indicator;
• The negative impact of corrosion due to the thickness of the plates is reduced, and the effective life of the battery isincreases;
• even after a long period of inactivity, low self-discharge allows the battery to be used;
• sealed polypropylene case;
• The special composition with which the electrolyte components are processed does not allow them to be damaged during significant vibration.

Medalist

The Medalis brand produces batteries that are maintenance-free throughout their entire service life, which is about 4 years.

Models of this Korean car battery are designed for use in modern cars of any brand and with different levels of electricity consumption. It is only necessary to choose the right model, taking into account technical features and capacity.

Benefits:

• Innovative battery vent system.
• Reduced internal plate corrosion.
• High tightness achieved thanks to special terminal technology.
• Electrolyte and charge level sensors.
• The flat bottom of the case does not harm the lead plates.
• The ability of a battery to hold a charge for a long time.

Korean quality

GLOBAL brand batteries will not only provide a successful and quick start, but will also work properly for a long time and provide power to the entire system of your car. Manufacturers use various scientific developments to produce very reliable and high-quality Korean car batteries. Moreover, they perfectly manifest themselves in any weather conditions.

AllBatteries of this brand are certified according to international standards. They are safe, productive and very reliable.

Among the benefits car owners highlight:

• low self-discharge;
• protection against shaking, corrosion and vibration;
• high level of security (you can not be afraid of short circuits or fires);
• special battery grid technology;
• special gas separator design to prevent electrolyte leakage.
