When buying a new battery, you should pay attention to the inrush current and capacity indicators. But do not forget that the quality of the product can be judged by the reliability of the manufacturer who manufactured the battery. European quality is a characteristic that suggests that a product is more likely to last a long time and without any complaints.

Battery Manufacturer Hagen
Hagen batteries have all the necessary qualities in order to rank themselves as reliable batteries. Initially, the company producing batteries under this brand was located in Germany, which is also famous for the production of high-quality and reliable equipment.
Currently, Hagen batteries are manufactured by the American company Exide Technologies, which more than 20 years ago acquired a controlling stake in the German company HAGEN Batterie AG.
Where are Hagen batteries used?
Due to the fact that the batteries of this manufacturer are highly durable and resistant to deep discharges, their use can extend to very wide areas of human activity where a mobile source of electricity is needed.
In cars, Hagen batteries are used as starter devices. High cold currents make it easy to start even powerful diesel plants, so the products of this manufacturer can be found even on trucks.
As traction devices, Hagen batteries are mainly used on small loaders, golf cars and small river boats. Also this type of electrical elements can be used in uninterruptible power supplies, which are equipped with a special inverter converter.
Applied technologies and their features
Almost all Hagen battery models are manufactured in accordance with calcium technology. This means that both the positive and negative electrodes of the battery are made of lead doped with calcium. Despite the more complex manufacturing technology of such devices, the use of modern developments can significantly increase the shelf life of the product, as well as make the batteries fully maintenance free.
This is indicated by the inscription Maintenance Free on the case, which translates as unattended. This was made possible by reducing the evaporation of the liquid and a special cap that condenses the vapor back into the liquid. The absence of the need to monitor the electrolyte level in banks is also an indisputable advantage of Hagen batteries manufactured using Ca / Ca technology.
Technical characteristics of a model range
Hagen batteries differ in many ways, so before you make a purchase you need to carefully study the entire range. First of all, you need to find out if a battery is purchased to start a truck or a car. Then, in the selected category, select the battery, the shortest one will most meet the requirements of the machine manufacturer, in terms of capacity and current of cold scroll.

| 6ST-210 | 210 | 1200 | 518x279x240 |
The model for Hagen-190 trucks is also manufactured with direct and reverse polarity, which makes it easy to choose the battery for the car with a different arrangement of connected wires.
Service and Charging
Maintenance of Hagen batteries is limited only to keeping the product body clean and timely charging. If the machine is used often, then the generator is quite able to cope with the task of restoring the electrical capacity of the device. After long-term parking, as well as in the winter season, the battery must be additionally charged with special devices that operate from a conventional electrical outlet.
The most correct option is to use automatic products, but if the charger allows you to adjust the current parameters, you should put the battery on a ten-hour charge with a current that should be equal to 10% of the battery capacity, at a voltage of 14.4 V.
Cargo batteries have access to banks through plugs, so you can periodically check the electrolyte level and add distilled water if necessary.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
In order for the battery to last as long as possible, it is necessary to select a device whose presale period was minimal. For Hagen batteries, the release date can be seen on the top cover. You can determine the year of manufacture by the first digit of the marking. For example, the number “9” indicates the year 2019. The month can be determined by the letter, which is in second place marking. For example, the letter “A” is January; “B” - February; “C” - March, etc.
