Moratti batteries are not as common in Russia as other brands. For example, the same Slovenian Tab and Topla. At the same time, the manufacturing plant at Moratti, it turns out, is the same as theirs.

Manufacturer Moratti
Moratti batteries are a trademark of the Russian wholesale company AYU RUS. The release is engaged in the Slovenian company TAV, producing more well-known batteries Tab and Topla. Production is ongoing at the site in Mezhitsa. The company has branches in several countries of Eastern and Western Europe.
The plant has international certificates confirming compliance of products with all industry requirements. Production is carried out on the latest equipment and using advanced scientific and technical developments.
Each stage is under strict control. Moratti is the world's only brand of batteries for which the manufacturer can give a lifetime warranty.
AYU RUS also launches its own brands Intrepid, Icetec, Nord and Tornado and is engaged in the promotion and distribution of other popular battery brands in the world.
Where are Moratti batteries used?
The volume of products manufactured by TAV per year exceeds one million pieces of batteries. Most of them are distributed in Europe - 70 percent of products are exported to the EU, CIS and Russia. In total, up to 90% of the manufactured equipment is exported.
Moratti batteries are used on motorcycles, trucks and cars of Russian, American, European and Asian production, on uninterruptible power supplies, on water transport and industrial equipment.
Applied technologies and their features
The main technology used in the production of batteries of this brand is Expanded Metal, a technology for the production of plates for electrodes. They are obtained in a special design, which allows to increase the current return, and to reduce the internal resistance. The increased stiffness of the electrodes increases their resistance to deformation and resistance to vibration.
Alloying lead with calcium reduces the risks of self-discharge and improves performance. For batteries manufactured using these technologies, the starting current is higher than for conventional batteries, and the shelf life reaches 5-6 years.
In addition, special substances are added to the active mass that increase the energy intensity and resistance to corrosion, as well as fibers that reduce its shedding. As a result, the battery life as a whole is increased. And stabilizers added to lead reduce self-discharge.
The plates are dried at low temperature. Whereas with conventional technology, it is possible to overheat and distort the internal voltage, this is excluded here.
Technical specifications
The company produces Moratti batteries for motorcycles, cars and trucks, maritime transport and UPS. A full range of products can be found on the official website of the company or in stores of official distributors of products.
Moratti for motorcycles
Power monster - A group of batteries created using modern AGM technology. In them, the electrolyte is used not in liquid form, but as an impregnation for fiberglass. The plates are not arranged in rows, but are twisted into a spiral. AGM batteries are completely maintenance free. It is impossible for them to open the lid to add water, but this is not necessary. The capacity in this series is from 2.5 to 20 Ah, the cold scroll current is from 30 to 260 A.
Batteries of this series, according to the manufacturer, can last up to 15 years. Their starting current is higher than that of traditional ones, as well as a high temperature range of use - from -55 to +75 degrees Celsius. They charge quickly and are resistant to deep discharge.
Nano gel - also maintenance free gel batteries. Their starter current even exceeds the indicators of the previous category, and self-discharge is very low. The electrolyte in them is presented in the form of a gel. In this category, several types of batteries:
- Moratti VRLA AGM - are delivered in a charged, ready-to-use form, completely maintenance-free;
- Moratti MF VRLA AGM - dry charged, supplied with electrolyte for self-priming;
- Moratti DRY-Charge - also dry-charged batteries with a long shelf life.
In this series, capacities from 4 to 30 Ah are presented, starting currents - 40-465 A.
Moratti for cars
Moratti batteries are suitable for any modern passenger car. They have increased starting characteristics, and energy can provide a large number of electronics. For cars, there are two lines. These are Moratti Automotive DIN for European cars with a capacity of 55-100 Ah and a cold-scroll current of 550-920 A. And Moratti Automotive JIS for Japanese cars with a capacity of 45-100 Ah and with a starting current of 400-850 A.
For trucks, batteries for cars of European, Asian and American production are presented. Their capacities are from 100 to 225 Ah, the starting current is 850-1350 A.
Moratti MPS for UPS
Moratti MPS is a series of rechargeable batteries for uninterruptible power supplies. These are maintenance-free AGM batteries. Suitable for installation on any vertical and horizontal surfaces. Can work in the buffer and cyclic mode. They have an internal gas recombination system. When a critical increase in pressure inside the structure, the valves open themselves to relieve it.
These batteries are used in alarm systems, cash registers, medical systems, emergency power supply, electrical equipment and devices.
Moratti Marine for water transport
Moratti Marine - rechargeable batteries designed for water transport. But not only - they can also be used in reserve substations, for energy supply of mobile homes and so on. Resistant to deep discharge, suitable for seasonal use. Protected against moisture.
Here you can select capacities from 80 to 120 Ah, and cold scroll currents from 500 to 800 A.
Moratti Chargers
Also under the trade name Moratti, chargers are produced: digital and designed for charging lead-acid batteries with different capacities. All chargers have different maximum charging currents.
Moratti Battery Maintenance
Moratti maintenance-free batteries require careful handling. There is no need to remove the cover and top up water. Equipment must be periodically charged to avoid deep discharge. Store only when charged. Avoid shock, shock, strong vibrations. Regularly clean the case of dirt, remove oxidation from the terminals if necessary.
If cracks, dents, bulges appear on the battery case, its further use should be discarded. The manufacturer can provide a lifetime warranty, according to which at any time it will be possible to exchange a broken battery.
Calcium batteries are considered maintenance free, but if they have access to the covers, then if necessary it will be possible to check the density and add water. If the battery is hermetically sealed, then it must not be opened.
How to charge Moratti batteries
It is necessary to bring the battery into a warm, well-ventilated room and allow it to warm to room temperature. Wipe off moisture and dirt. If this is a maintenance-free battery, clean the gas outlets on the sides. If there is access to the plugs, then unscrew them, to exit the gases when charging. Add distilled water if necessary.
Moratti batteries are best charged with a device of the same brand. For lead-acid batteries, the charging current should be set at one tenth of the capacity of the equipment, and AGM - any. The latter are charged faster, literally in an hour you can reach 90%.
The main thing to avoid when charging is exceeding the recommended voltage and overheating of the electrolyte. If this happens, stop charging and continue when the contents of the battery have cooled. And in no case do not confuse the polarity when connecting the memory.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
The marking is laser engraved on the top cover and consists of fourteen characters. The third and fourth of them mean the year, and the fifth and sixth encrypt the week of the year.
For example, the marking is: F1110600941864. This means that the release date of the battery is the sixth week of 2011. The sixth week is in February.

Andrey
A high-quality and reliable battery, more powerful than many others, has an excellent starting current. A little expensive, but it’s completely worth the money.
Nikolay
Great battery, I've been using it for four years now. The frosts were especially severe this winter, I was afraid that there would be problems - but nothing happened. Every morning the car started up properly.
Konstantin
This battery was advised to me by the previous owner of my car. When it came time to change, I took his advice. We had a great winter. Let's see what happens in the summer.
