About the manufacturer
Bolk batteries are being produced in Russia at the IStochnik Toka Kursk Battery Plant (SOURCE) in the city of Kursk. This is one of the most popular and large domestic manufacturers of this orientation.
The plant was born in 2002 with the participation of the oldest plant in Russia for the production of current sources - the Kursk plant "Battery". The plant produces more than three million batteries per year.
Where are Bolk batteries used?
Bolk batteries are popular in Russia and the CIS countries. Models are produced for cars and light commercial vehicles, as well as for motorcycles, scooters, snowmobiles and other motor vehicles. Production is any.
Batteries of this brand are serviceable. Suitable for operating equipment in all conditions.
Applied technologies and their features
Bolk batteries are manufactured using state-of-the-art but proven technologies, which achieve high quality and excellent performance. Production Features:
- Production of down conductors of increased area, with a uniform distribution of current load over this area. This increases the battery life.
- The addition of a special pore expander in the manufacture of negative electrodes. This improves current efficiency at high and low temperatures.
- Additive in the production of the active mass of positive electrodes of special components that increase the strength of the structure, resistance to vibration. The grill accepts and stores charge better, has a long shelf life.
- Application in the production of monoblock copolymer of the highest quality, which provides high strength.
- Doping of low antimony alloys with selenium and tin, which makes equipment maintenance minimal and storage long.
- The use of an envelope separator from the best world manufacturers, increasing the reliability of the design.
- The creation of explosion and fire protection systems, making the use of the design safe.
In addition, Bolk designs are equipped with protection against aerosols of sulfuric acid, thereby minimizing damage to the environment and humans.
Specifications
Under the Bolk brand, motorcycle batteries are manufactured with minimal maintenance. They are sold in dry form, the electrolyte is supplied. Before the first use, the battery must be charged on its own, in the future it requires minimal maintenance.
Bolk batteries for cars are serviced; they can be removed and refilled. They are suitable for cars and light trucks of Russian and foreign production. The optimal solution for cars with a small to medium amount of energy on board. They have both direct and reverse polarity.
The capacities of car batteries of this brand range from 55 to 190 Ah, the cold-scroll current is from 480 to 1250 A.
Battery Maintenance Bolk
The batteries of this brand are serviced. That is, they can (and should) periodically open the lid and add water. This is necessary because the liquid during operation and charging evaporates, as a result of which the electrolyte changes its density and decreases in volume.Using liquid in insufficient quantities and in the wrong density harms the battery.
In addition, when using equipment, you must adhere to the following rules:
- Monitor the degree of battery charge and charge if necessary.
- Clean the housing regularly of dirt. This is especially important before opening the lid - if dirt gets into the electrolyte, it will ruin it.
- Also, if necessary, clean the terminals of dirt, remove oxidation from them and lubricate them with technical petroleum jelly.
- Do not use the battery if there are leaks, cracks, dents, or swellings on the case.
- Avoid shock and vibration when using the battery.
Important! The most important thing when using any battery is to prevent its deep discharge. Despite the stability of modern models to this, deep discharge harms them and, if it happens often, leads to battery failure.
How to charge Bolk batteries
Bolk batteries require periodic recharging. It is best to charge using a special charger. For charging, a current of one tenth of the capacity of the equipment is selected. That is, with a capacity of 55 Ah, it is 5.5 A, at 60 Ah - 6 A and so on.
Wipe the battery from moisture and dirt, then open the covers and top up if necessary. Do not close the lid while charging.
You need to connect the charger, observing the polarity. When charging, monitor the voltage - it should not exceed the recommended one. And when you reach a constant indicator for two hours, the battery is considered charged.
Also, during the charge, you need to monitor the temperature of the case. When it is heated above 40-50 degrees Celsius, the process should be stopped and allowed to cool.
Never recharge a battery that has just been brought in from the cold. First, she needs to let stand at room temperature and warm up. Also, under no circumstances should the battery be discharged. With long-term storage, you need to periodically check the charge and, if necessary, recharge.

The battery is not bad, it was used briefly by relatives. I wanted the same for myself, but here's the problem: I wanted to see the information on the official website, but I could not find the site.

The battery is average in price and quality. In winter you often have to charge, sometimes there are problems with the launch. In the summer, everything is fine.
Sergey
The previous owner of my car praised Bolk, I decided to buy one too. While everything was happy, I did not have to charge, there were no problems with the launch, even at the end of winter.
