Batteries Deka

When buying a car battery, many experienced owners first of all pay attention to the brand of the manufacturer. After all, much depends on the responsibility of the manufacturer and no one wants to spoil their reputation. Therefore, motorists often do not pay attention to lesser-known brands.

Battery manufacturer Deka

Under the trademark Deka, the products of the American company EAST PENN Manufacturing Company are presented. The battery factory itself was founded back in 1946 in Pennsylvania, USA, and for many years managed to reach the world level. Today, the company produces annually more than 30 million products per year.

The area of ​​the plant is large - 2,100,000 m², which allows you to place a research center on this territory, which develops and implements the latest technologies and several factories that manufacture specific products: lead-acid batteries, Agm and gel batteriesas well as uninterruptible power systems.

Where are Deka batteries used?

The long service life of the Deka battery, the reliability of operation and reliable operation allows the use of batteries in almost all types of vehicles:

• cars and trucks;
• mini-tractors and special equipment;
• snowmobiles, motorcycles and other motor vehicles;
• ships, boats, yachts and boats.

Such batteries are installed on storage lifts, cars, electric stackers, wheelchairs. They are used as additional power sources for various types of electric consumers with voltage of 6v, 8v and 12v.

Applied technologies and their features

The high performance of EAST PENN products is determined by the availability of the latest computerized equipment. Thanks to advanced equipment, the manufactured products undergo several quality checks (about 250 checks). Batteries are manufactured in accordance with international standards ISO9001, ISO / TS16949, ISO 14001, QS 9000.

Only high-quality lead without impurities is used. Cases are made of high strength propylene.

In batteries made by AGM technology, unlike conventional lead-acid batteries, the electrolyte is not in a liquid state, but in an absorbed one. The space between the lead elements is filled with special material - a kind of porous fiberglass. Acid is absorbed and absorbed into it.

This approach to manufacturing has significantly increased the battery life and its operational characteristics:

• lead plates are completely isolated, the material is firmly fixed to them and does not crumble;
• sulfuric acid will not spill in any position of the battery;
• gas recombination is faster;
• discharge-charging indicators are normal;
• temperature differences equalize.

Production features make it possible to obtain durable units of a sufficiently large capacity with a high starting current. Considering that the electrolyte is absorbed, there is no need to add it, therefore the products are completely maintenance-free, and the warranty shelf life is 5 years. These characteristics indicate the safety of using Deka products, even cracks, an inverted state - not a hindrance to normal operation.

Technical characteristics of a model range

The plant produces batteries for the following modes of transport:

• Moto
• Cars;
• Freight transport;
• Traction for boats and boats.

Each type and model produced has its own technical characteristics that correspond to its standard.

Deka Motorcycle Batteries

Motor batteries have increased power, new models with different technical characteristics, are constantly entering the market. Power, size, level of computer equipment is different. Units are produced by a separate Sport Power line, using AGM technology.

Such batteries are designed for scooters, motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs, etc. each design is equipped with a pressure relief valve, which allows for complete tightness. Fixation is possible in any way except for "upside down".

Deka batteries for cars

Lead-acid batteries are manufactured in compliance with generally accepted international specifications for standard equipment and increased starting power. They are used on cars of European, American and Asian production, both in passenger cars and SUVs.

Depending on the capacity, you can choose a battery for a car with any engine size and type of fuel. For a car with a Start-Stop system, you need to choose a battery with AGM or GEL technology.

Deka batteries for trucks

Models for freight vehicles differ in basic characteristics: capacity, dimensions, power. The product range is diverse, each model is characterized by increased power and ease of operation.

The most popular series: Gold, Dominator, Intimidator. No service costs, reinforced housing.

Deka batteries for boats and boats (traction)

They have a vibration-resistant design, are able to work under heavy loads in extreme conditions. Units are placed on yachts, sea or river vessels, on boats. They are able to start the engine and supply the right amount of energy to the ship.

Traction batteries are not afraid of deep discharges. Models differ in the following varieties: Dominator, Intimidator.

Service

Proper maintenance of Deka batteries can extend the life of up to 7-10 years. Service is, first of all, timely charging with a special device designed for this type of battery and keeping it completely clean.

Using traditional devices is not recommended. It is also important to take into account the ambient temperature during maintenance, the optimum is indicated on the unit itself. IN maintenance free batteries Do not add water, as the battery is hermetically sealed. If it is serviced, then there will be access to traffic jams through which you can add water to the banks.

How to charge Deka batteries

Rated DC power 10% of unit power. If the capacity is 60 a / h, then the current should be 6 amperes. Excessive power can damage the battery. The threshold, permissible voltage for each unit is prescribed in the manufacturer's instructions. This indicator varies between 14.3V - 14.5V.

How to find out the release date and decrypt the code

The manufacturer usually marks the release date with a code. To determine the year of manufacture, look at the plastic case. Year of production - the number that comes first; month - a letter (A - January, C - March, etc.), for example, 8C - 2018, March.

It could be different: where the negative input put four digits. The first two are week numbers, the second years, for example, 14/18 - 2018, week 14.

The third way: on the freshness indicator indicate the number - year and letter - month, but here under the letter include two months (A - January / February, B - March / April). For example, 8C means 2018, May / June. The warranty shelf life is specified in the instructions.

I bought a battery deka gold 640rmf 70 a / h back in 2012! At that time it seemed very expensive, but he paid off - not a single interruption in work. Used on an old Ford! I advise everyone!
