Car battery Delkor

Korean Delkor batteries are popular both in Russia and around the world. They are technological and reliable, belong to the modern maintenance-free class, while being relatively inexpensive compared to more hyped products. In their manufacture, several special patented technologies are used, due to which high quality and durability are achieved.

About the manufacturer

The manufacturer of such batteries is Delkor Corporation. This is a joint brainchild of the American company Johnson Controls Inc. and Korean Delkor. The corporation in South Korea has a history dating back to 1985. The main focus of her work immediately became the production of maintenance-free batteries for vehicles and industrial equipment. Most technologies are developed by the manufacturer and patented, and are not used anywhere else in the world.

This company offers rechargeable batteries for all types and brands of vehicles that meet the standards of DIN, SAE / BCI, EN, KS, JIS and even the Australian Type for Australian cars. Batteries are also available for industrial equipment and for outboard motors. Quality control and analysis of old battery collection points in different countries of the world show that Delkor batteries last on average one third longer than others.

Applied technologies and their features

The benefits of Delkor batteries are determined by their unique, proprietary technologies. The following features can be distinguished that distinguish the products of this manufacturer from the products of competitors:

1. Special technology for the production of gratings. They are made by cold forging with stretching. Multiple compression of the material makes it particularly durable, resistant to various kinds of mechanical stress. The risk of corrosion is also reduced. Such technology is used only by this company, it has no analogues in the world.
2. Lead-calcium alloys with the addition of tin and silver (calcium battery) are used as the material of positive and negative gratings. This helps to reduce fluid flow and eliminates the need to top up water.
3. To protect the plates from shedding, special polypropylene tapes are used, which are passed along the edge of the gratings. This greatly improves the anti-wear performance of the equipment.
4. The body is absolutely hermetically sealed, the cover is connected to the body by heat sealing, it cannot be removed or opened. Other manufacturers usually stick it.
5. The flat bottom of the housing helps protect the edges of the plates as a result of vibration. Special stiffening ribs also contribute to this.
6. The design lid is designed to facilitate the return of evaporated electrolyte back to the battery. Due to this, the design is completely maintenance free. For the exhaust gases during charging made special channels.
7. Making and fixing terminals is also a special Delkor technology. They are screwed and crimped, while at other manufacturers they are soldered. The technology used by the Korean manufacturer does not allow the terminals to loosen and become unusable. Due to this, electrolyte leaks and depressurization are excluded. The terminals themselves come in different designs - thick and thin cones, with different threads, as well as combined ones.

According to the production technology, such batteries are lead-acid. They differ in their technical characteristics, scope, size and external parameters.

Model lines and their features

Delkor Corporation produces a large number of battery types for various vehicles and industrial equipment, as well as for boat motors. They are divided into several lines - for vehicles of Asian, American and European production, as well as for premium cars with start-stop function. You can get acquainted with the model options and their characteristics on the official website of the manufacturer, as well as at official distributors of batteries.

Delkor (JIS)

This series presents batteries for vehicles of Asian, in particular, Japanese production. Starting current varies from 340 A to 800 A, with capacities from 40 Ah to 100 Ah. Some of the batteries are made with direct, and some with reverse polarity. Basically, the entire line of standard terminals, with the exception of the first six, they are narrow.

A wide range of Delkor JIS covers almost all diesel and gasoline engines, so each driver will be able to choose a suitable battery.

Delkor (BCI)

This includes an American standard battery for American-made vehicles. They meet modern energy consumption, are characterized by high power when starting the motor, as well as reliability and stability in all operating conditions.

Starting current - from 550 A to 1000 A, with a capacity of 60 Ah to 100 Ah. Types of terminals - threaded, screw, combination and universal. There are models with direct, reverse and universal polarity.

Delkor (DIN)

This standard is used for European cars. Such batteries guarantee increased performance and potential of the car, as well as high stability of the vehicle.

The battery capacity is from 43 Ah to 220 Ah with a starting current of 400 A to 1300 A. There are models with both direct and reverse polarity. All terminals are standard.

Delkor START STOP AGM

Batteries of this category are created for modern premium cars equipped with the START-STOP function. AGM technology is used for production - in such batteries not liquid, but absorbed electrolyte is used. Due to this, the battery life will be extended, and its performance will also increase.

Delkor Marine (Deep Cycle)

The batteries of this series are designed for boat electric motors, energy-intensive appliances, and household power supply. They have a starting current of 490-625 A and a capacity of 65-100 Ah, as well as high performance in the deep discharge mode.

Battery Maintenance Delkor

Delkor batteries are maintenance-free, that is, there is no possibility to remove the cover and add water (and yes, too). Therefore, it will be sufficient to periodically carry out a visual inspection, check the charge level, wipe off dirt and strip the terminals. If something serious happens to the battery, for example, water evaporates in banks or the mesh crumbles, then it will have to be replaced with a new one.

At the same time, the shelf life of such batteries is higher than that of most others. Under the right operating conditions and in a lean manner, the battery can last about 6 years. The standard manufacturer's warranty is 24 months.

How to charge Delkor batteries

Delkor batteries are maintenance free, but this does not mean that they do not need to be recharged. After all, the owner of the car can leave for a long time without disconnecting the battery from the circuit. Forget to turn off the headlights and other electrical appliances or simply not start up due to severe frosts.

Experienced motorists are advised to use special automated charging stations for maintenance-free batteries. Smart charging will be able to control the voltage, amperage, temperature, etc., and adjust the settings depending on the situation. It will not be possible to open the covers for the exit of gases, since there is no access to them, but the battery is equipped with special valves for venting gases.

For standard 12 volt batteries, it is recommended to use a current of not more than 10% of the battery capacity. That is, if the capacity is 80 Ah, then the current should be no more than 8 Ah.

Before charging, the battery should be placed in a well-ventilated area. Allow her to warm naturally to room temperature. Then evaluate the integrity and tightness of the case, if they are broken, the battery should not be used. Before charging, thoroughly wipe the battery thoroughly and clean the terminals if they are oxidized.

How to find out the release date and decrypt the code

Delkor batteries use a five-digit manufacturing date mark. Here's how it stands:

• The first digit is the encrypted year of release;
• the letter is the month of production (A - January, B - February, C - March and so on);
• last 2 digits - day.

For example, if the case is marked 5AR15, it means that the release date is January 15, 2015.

Reviews

Sergey
Reliable maintenance-free battery without electrolyte smudges, while very powerful. Unfortunately, it is not as popular as other brands, and therefore it is not always possible to find the necessary information about it.

Andrey
For five years of use, I have not found a single drawback with this battery. It is powerful and very reliable, even in the most difficult operating conditions.

Vladislav
Great, powerful like a beast! It is relatively inexpensive.The variety of models, and the lack of the need to top up water, are also pleasing.
