Where are Champion Pilot Drive batteries used?

Champion Pilot Drive batteries are used as a source of electricity in trucks and cars. Thanks to the high currents of cold scrolling, such products do an excellent job of starting gasoline or diesel engines in any weather.

Batteries of this brand, with increased capacity, can be used to equip construction special equipment, as well as utility and agricultural machines. Champion Pilot Drive also achieved good operational results when installed on buses and yachts.

Applied technologies and their features

High performance and shelf life of batteries manufactured under the Champion Pilot Drive brand are achieved by:

• Application of innovative technology for stamping lead gratings.
• Housing maintenance-free design.
• A special method of forming pole leads.
• Using heat-contact welding of the battery cover with a monoblock.
• Labyrinth gas removal system.
• Adding microfibers to the active mass.

In addition, battery safety is positively affected by such battery cells as a flash suppressor and a charge indicator.

Technical characteristics of a model range

Champion Pilot Drive batteries have a fairly wide range. This allows you to choose a battery for almost cars and trucks according to the values ​​of capacity and inrush current. Any battery is available, both with direct and reverse polarity.

There are also models made according to the JIS standard for Asian cars with terminal type ASIA. Freight batteries, which can easily be identified by polarity 3 and 4, are not spared.

 Service and Charging

Despite the fact that most of the batteries of this type are produced in a maintenance-free type case, during operation it will be necessary to periodically charge products from the charger. In addition, the battery housing must be kept clean. Timely removal of liquid dirt and fuel from the battery will minimize self-discharge, as well as minimize the likelihood of fire.

In order for the battery to last as long as possible, it is recommended to use modern automatic chargers to restore the charge.

Especially useful for preventing the formation of sulfation of the plates is the use of memory with a training mode. The inclusion of such a function allows you to get rid of the plaque on lead gratings dangerous for the technical condition of the battery at an early stage.

How to find out the release date and decrypt the code

Knowing the battery release date is very important, because the life of a car battery will depend on this information. If the battery lay on the counter for a long time, as a result of self-discharge, the electrolyte density decreased, and the plates began to become covered with an oxide film.

You can determine the year of manufacture of the battery by marking, which is applied to the top cover. Champion Pilot Drive battery designations are decrypted as follows:

• The first letter is the production line number.
• The next figure is the year of manufacture.
• The next letter is the month of manufacture.
• The last 2 digits are service information.

For example, the code B9D12 means that the battery was manufactured in April 2019.

Reviews

Victor, Galich.
I bought a battery from this company last year. The claimed characteristics are fully consistent with the real.

Novel. Cherepovets.
Our country is cold, so it was decided to buy a battery that is resistant to low operating temperatures. The 62 Ah Champion Pilot battery is up to the challenge.

Nikolay. Tsimlyansk
High starting current of the battery of this brand is one of its main advantages. In addition, self-discharge is practically not felt and water is not required to be added during operation.
