Where are AlphaLine batteries used?

About eight million AlphaLine batteries are manufactured annually. They are widely used in the automotive industry and are supplied to almost all countries of the world. There they are delivered to conveyors where European, Asian and American cars are produced, as well as distributed at retail.

They are used in water transport - for boats and boats. This is the AlphaLINE DC series. And also for some industrial equipment, lighting and so on.

Important! Even if, at first glance, the batteries have practically no differences, the choice should be approached with all responsibility and comply with all the recommendations of the automaker. A slight difference can jeopardize the "health" of the car.

Lineup and Specifications

To date, there are several lines of AlphaLine batteries for a variety of automobile vehicles, as well as boats, boats, industrial equipment, lighting and so on. They differ in some of their technical characteristics, production technology, terminal structure, as well as capacity and inrush current indicators.

AlphaLINE Ultra

Representatives of this series are the best solution for those who need high battery power. They are great for extreme driving enthusiasts. The batteries have a very high capacity, the maximum among all AlphaLine batteries. Main characteristics:

1. X-frame grilles, created by cutting-edge technology, are particularly resistant to mechanical damage;
2. doping with Calcium +, which slows down the corrosion of the lattice structure;
3. starting current is 20-30% higher than that of classic models;
4. a quarter extended service life and an increased number of possible starts;
5. GPS separators made of structured fibers that enhance the strength of the material and increase the reliability in extreme conditions.

In addition, the batteries of this series have a robust case, a charge level indicator, strong bridges and terminals, an ergonomic carrying handle. For convenience and reasonableness of execution, these batteries can be attributed to the premium class, but at the price they are available to every customer.

AlphaLINE SD (Super Dynamic)

These batteries also belong to the premium class, but at the same time, they are also available to a wide category of consumers due to an affordable price. They have the highest technical characteristics among all the products of this Korean manufacturer and have the same standard reliability.

These batteries are powerful and stable. They have an increased margin of safety under various operating conditions, including temperature changes, vibration and frost. The shelf life of them is higher than that of the "brothers" of the same manufacturer.

AlphaLINE EFB

Efb battery This series is designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a Start-Stop system. Even with the engine turned off, such a battery continues to supply power to the necessary devices connected to it in the car, and also guarantees the implementation of trouble-free restarting in a split second.

AlphaLINE EFB batteries can easily withstand deep discharge without losing their functionality. According to production technology and functionality, they occupy an intermediate stage between classic batteries and Agm. The latter use a “dry” electrolyte, but here it is still in a liquid state.

AlphaLINE AGM

The peculiarity of the AGM technology is that the electrolyte here is not in a liquid state and not in the form of a gel, as in other models, but is used as an impregnation of fiberglass. As a result, it is in close contact with the plates, resulting in increased equipment uptime. Such batteries are not at all afraid of vibration, as well as temperature and pressure drops. Their features:

1. supports Start-Stop system;
2. ability to withstand 3-4 times more cycles of a full discharge-charge;
3. resistance to deep discharge and quick recovery after it;

Such batteries are suitable not only for cars, but also for industrial equipment, electric vehicles, water transport, special equipment, autonomous power supplies, campsites, solar panels and so on.

AlphaLINE DC (Deep Cycle)

These batteries are resistant to deep discharge and are designed to operate in discharge-charge mode. That is why they are suitable for water transport - motor boats, boats, river and sea vessels, yachts for starting gasoline engines, for powering trolling electric motors, power supply of the ship’s electric network, on-board lighting, operation of instruments and devices.

Can be used as backup and traction batteries. Moreover, their price, in comparison with analogues, is quite acceptable.

AlphaLine Battery Maintenance

AlphaLine batteries are completely maintenance free. Therefore, as such, service is not available. There is no access to banks, which means opening the lids and adding water will not work. So it remains to wipe the battery from dirt from time to time, clean the terminals from oxidation and, if necessary, recharge.

Some craftsmen say that you can still remove the cover and add water if necessary, but in this case the battery flies from the warranty and you will need to constantly monitor it as if it is being serviced.

With proper operation, the battery will last for a long time without any maintenance, and after this period the owner will only have to change the equipment.

How to charge AlphaLine batteries

As with all maintenance-free batteries, the need to charge them is extremely rare. For example, in cold weather or during prolonged idle periods when a deep discharge occurs. Or at boat motors when they are used only seasonally and are idle for six months.

It is recommended to use special automatic smart charges, they will clearly monitor the voltage and progress of the charge. It is also important to observe the polarity and clean the vent valves located on the sides of the battery.

Current should be set within 10% of capacity. That is, if the capacity is 55A / h, then you need to set up to 5.5 A. If there is no suitable value on the device, then take the closest one to the smaller side. The voltage must be gradually increased to 16.5 volts. Charging time depends on the degree of discharge.

If the voltage is exceeded, the liquid will begin to separate, as a result, its density will increase, and the volume will decrease. Since the battery is maintenance free, you cannot open the cover and add content, so you cannot bring it to this state. That is why it is important to use a special charger and carefully monitor the charging process.

Reviews

Artyom
The old battery is dead. I decided to pick a new one. I searched for a long time, read reviews, descriptions on official sites. He stopped at AlphaLINE Ultra. He fell into place, as if he had always been here. The work is just a beast, I am satisfied.

Valery
Good, I use it for the third year. The car always starts up without problems, even when it stood in the parking lot at minus 35. The engine, however, went hard, but it went the same way.

Alexander
Not a bad battery. The price is reasonable. If you take it more qualitatively, it will be more expensive, of course.
