Battery Manufacturer Alaska
Alaska batteries are manufactured by Seban Denchi, a Japanese company. The products of this company are produced at one of the largest plants in this country. The company produces batteries using the most advanced technologies, so the quality of products is always at a high level.
Where are Alaska batteries used?
Due to the high productivity of the plant, the cost of finished products can also be relatively low, which is the main competitive advantage of batteries not only in the domestic but also in the foreign market. The company produces more than 8 million pieces of batteries per year, some of which are sent to the Russian market.
Alaska batteries are used mainly to start automotive internal combustion engines. Application for a specific vehicle or unit depends on its power. For motorcycles and scooters, small batteries with a capacity of up to 18 Ah are used. Such products can also be used to start generators, boat motors or snowmobiles.
For cars, more powerful devices are used, the capacity of which is 50 - 90 ah. Without any restrictions for this type of transport can be used a battery capacity of 65 Ah of the same company. For small trucks, the engine capacity of which does not exceed 2.5 liters. Suitable products for which this parameter is 95 Ah, and the starting current is 830 A.
Applied technologies and their features
Alaska batteries are made using Ca / Ca technology. Advantage calcium batteries before conventional lead products is much less gas evolution, as well as good resistance to deep discharges. The presence of minimal evaporation of water during charging of the device allows you to make the battery case completely sealed. Thus, the motorist is completely freed from the need to remove the lid and periodically add water to cans.
In addition to the use of calcium in lead alloy, maintenance free batteries This company contains special Ex-met expander plates, which have a more rigid structure and are much better able to withstand vibration loads.

Service and Charging
Alaska batteries are generally maintenance free. This means that you do not need to open the lid from time to time and add water. It’s impossible to completely forget about battery maintenance.It is necessary to keep an eye on the quality of fastening the negative and positive wires, wipe the terminals with special compounds that will prevent the formation of "scale". In addition, the battery housing must be kept clean so that current leakage does not occur between the terminals due to the dampness formed on the surface.
It is recommended that you charge this type of battery from automatic devices that plug into your home electrical system. Such devices in automatic mode control the voltage and current supplied to the battery terminals. In the absence of a modern memory, you can use adjustable models of the old model. In this case, charging is carried out by a current that should be equal to 10% of the battery capacity. The duration of such a charge should not exceed 10 hours.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
You can determine the year of manufacture of the Alaska battery by the code that is applied to the top cover of the device. The first digit of this marking indicates the year of manufacture. The letter following the number is the month (A - January, B - February, C - March, etc.). 5 characters following the first digit and letter are the manufacturer's code. For example, code 9АJHD24 indicates that the battery’s release date is January 2019.

Egor. Vladivostok
Good battery for Japanese cars. He decided to purchase Alaska after visiting the manufacturer’s official website, which describes the advanced technology ca ca selen, which allows you to extend the shelf life of the battery to 7 years.
Vladimir Verkhoyansk
For more than 5 years they have been the owner of the UAZ Patriot SUV. An excellent car, but in severe frosts, the battery did not always cope with the launch of a powerful engine. Alaska perfectly rotates the crankshaft in any weather, so I recommend this battery to everyone.
Nikolay. Yakutsk
Our country is very cold, so I decided to purchase a modern battery, the characteristics of which allow us to use the battery at a very low temperature. Alaska is doing an excellent job.
