The official website of the company "Akom" is located at: http://akom.su; "Kursk Battery Plant" - http://akbkursk.ru.
Where are Dominator batteries used?
The Dominator batteries have increased endurance, good cold scroll current and capacity. Due to these qualities, they can be used as starter batteries for cars and trucks.
The availability of models with direct and reverse polarity, also contributes to a more accurate choice of batteries for a particular brand of car. Given the fact that the batteries are manufactured using the Ca / Ca technology, it is possible to minimize the evaporation of the liquid, and the batteries themselves become low-maintenance. The absence of the need for constant monitoring of the electrolyte level is a very attractive quality for acquiring Dominator batteries by novice drivers.
Applied technologies and their features
Batteries made using calcium technology not only reduce the rate of gas generation during charging, but also noticeably reduce self-discharge and increase starting characteristics. Due to this quality, even in the winter season, with a serviceable generator, you can do without the use of chargers.
The lack of significant self-discharge allows you to store batteries until sold for 12 months, therefore, when checking battery markings, this feature of calcium products must be taken into account.
Technical specifications
The range of Dominator batteries is represented by batteries with different power levels, so the owner of any car will be able to choose the most suitable battery model for his vehicle. First of all, you should decide for a truck or a car, you need to choose a new product.

Dominator batteries for trucks are usually made to be serviced, so if necessary, you can open the lid and add water to the electrolyte.
Service and Charging
Dominator batteries designed for installation in passenger cars are manufactured in an unattended case, therefore care and maintenance of such products consists in charging the battery in time and keeping the product body clean. Powerful cargo batteries have 6 screw caps on the top cover, which make it easy to control the level and density of electrolyte in banks.
It is recommended to charge batteries of any type with a current that does not exceed 10% of the total battery capacity. For example, the battery 6ST-65VL should be charged for 10 hours with a current that should be no more than 6.5 A., at a voltage of 14.4 V.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
Despite the fact that batteries manufactured using calcium or hybrid technology can be stored for much longer than antimony products, it is necessary to know the exact date of manufacture of the product. A digital ten-digit code is applied to the Dominator battery case, by which it is easy to determine the year of manufacture of the product. Marking is deciphered as follows:
- The first digit is the number of the production line.
- The next 3 digits are the batch number.
- The fifth digit is the year of manufacture.
- The sixth digit is six months.
- Seventh - the number of the month in half a year.
- The eighth and ninth digits are the day of the month.
- The last digit is the assembly team number.
Thus, a battery manufactured on January 1, 2019 will have the following code: 1234911012.
