Topla Batteries

Topla batteries are very popular among motorists in Russia. This trademark has been supplied to our country for more than three decades. She fell in love with consumers at an affordable price, for impeccable quality, as well as for a wide range of products, allowing you to choose a battery for any car.

About Topla

Topla batteries are manufactured by TAB Tovarna Akumulatorskih Baterij D.D. This is a European company with production facilities located in Slovenia and Macedonia.

This company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of rechargeable batteries. Since the 70s, equipment has been supplied to the markets of the USSR, used in the automotive industry, and in industrial enterprises.

At the beginning of the new century, the company experienced a real technological revolution. Modern technologies went into business, the approach to work changed, the volume of work performed increased many times.

Where are Topla batteries used?

Today, TAB produces all types of industrial and automotive batteries. On the official website of the Russian representative office of the company you can find their full assortment.

During the Soviet Union, they were actively supplied to energy enterprises, communications and other facilities. Today, a large number of varieties of lead-acid automotive starter batteries are being produced, which are supplied almost all over the world, including our country. You can buy them at specialized stores of Topla dealers.

Applied technologies and their features

In the manufacture of batteries of this brand, modern technologies are used that provide excellent technical characteristics:

• Expanded Metal Technology (EMT) expanded plates manufacturing technology, due to which the inrush current is increased up to 50% compared to classic models;
• a larger number of plates compared to standard designs, due to which an increase in inrush current is also achieved;
• the use of Ca / Ca technology - a lead-calcium alloy for the manufacture of gratings, which increases the strength of the structure and reduces the flow of liquid, or the antimony-calcium alloy Sb / Ca for commercial vehicles;
• a double lid with a labyrinth system that provides gas venting, moisture condensation and its return back to the electrolyte, preventing the electrolyte from flowing out even during a 90-degree overturn;
• protection against fire during overheating.

All Topla batteries are maintenance free. The inability to remove the cover and the need to add water makes them simple and convenient to use.

Technical characteristics of a model range

Batteries of this brand are divided into several lines, each of which has special characteristics and is suitable for various vehicles. Thanks to this diversity, you can choose the right model for any Russian and European cars, for cars and trucks. There is also a battery for Asian, in particular, Japanese cars.

Topla start

This line is designed for cars with moderate energy consumption. Under this name, batteries with a capacity of 44 to 99 Ah are produced, and the cold-scroll current is from 390 to 850 A.

The presented batteries have increased resistance to subzero temperatures and provide easy engine start in cold weather. They are popular among owners of Russian cars and budget cars.

Topla energy

Universal batteries for cars. This series is the most popular of all from this manufacturer. Battery capacity is 45-110 Ah. The cold scroll current index is 400-1000 A. The batteries of this line have high durability and are resistant to deep discharge.

Topla top

Sealed, reliable and durable batteries are presented in this line. They are the most popular and most modern batteries, hence the name Top. Their capacity varies from 54 to 100 Ah with a starting current of 510-950 A.

All batteries are equipped with a special indicator that allows you to monitor the status of the battery and its charge level. Suitable for cars with a solid amount of electronics.

Topla Top JIS (Asia)

These batteries have similar characteristics as the previous line, but are designed for Korean, Chinese, Japanese cars. Regulated by the Asian JIS standard. The main difference lies in some changes in the design of the battery, in particular, its terminals. The capacity is from 35 to 105 Ah with a cold scroll current of 300 to 900 A.

Topla Top EFB Stop / Go

This series is designed for modern cars with a start / stop function. These include improved fill batteries. A unique technology of fiber packaging of positive plates is used, which prevents the active substance from shedding and doubles the number of discharge-charge cycles without loss of operability. Capacity EFB battery happens from 60 to 90 Ah, and inrush current from 580 to 850 A.

Topla Top AGM Stop / Go

The range is also for cars with the start-stop function. Its difference from traditional batteries is that according to AGM technology, the electrolyte is used not in a liquid state, but in the form of impregnation for a special material. This provides a closer contact with working surfaces and increases the performance and reliability of the structure. The advantage for premium cars is calculated. The capacity of these batteries is from 60 to 95 Ah, and the current of the cold scroll is 680-850 A.

Topla Top Sealed Truck

A line specifically for trucks. The battery capacity of this series is from 135 to 225 Ah. Starting current is 850-1300 A.

Topla energy truck

Designed for commercial vehicles. They are produced using the antimony-calcium alloy Sb / Ca. Capacity ranges from 135 to 225 Ah.Starting current is 850-1300 A.

Topla Battery Maintenance

Maintenance of batteries of this brand is not provided. They are made completely maintenance free. It is not possible to open the lid at home. And its special design and the use of calcium-containing alloys minimizes the evaporation of the liquid, while the condensate flows back to the banks. Therefore, adding water is also not required.

All that remains in the maintenance plan is to handle the equipment with care, avoid deep discharge (although the manufacturer claims that the batteries are resistant to it), and recharge on time.

How to charge Topla batteries

Charging batteries of this brand is not required as often as serviced designs. But periodically this nevertheless arises a need. It is better not to bring the equipment to full discharge, although Topla batteries are resistant to it, and the manufacturer does not promise consequences. All the same, a deep discharge harms any battery.

Maintenance-free batteries should only be charged with a special charger with the ability to control voltage and incoming current. A conventional device, without the ability to control these parameters, can harm the battery. The fact is that with too high a voltage, the electrolyte begins to decompose into components, its density increases, and the volume decreases. You can save the situation by adding distilled water, but since the battery is maintenance free, this is not possible.

Using special charging helps to avoid this. The device is connected to the battery in polarity. Current is set at one tenth of the battery capacity. That is, if the capacity is 45 Ah, then the current should not exceed 4.5 A, if 60 Ah, then 6 A and so on. The voltage should not exceed 14.4 V. These parameters need to be monitored every two hours. The duration of charging depends on the degree of discharge.

Important! When charging a maintenance-free battery, you should adhere to the rule: less is better, but longer than vice versa. High amperage can damage the battery.

How to find out the release date and decrypt the code

The battery code for this brand is laser engraved. It has thirteen characters. The third and fourth in the marking mean the year, and the fifth and sixth - the week of the year.

For example: F1110600941864. The release date in this case is the sixth week of 2011. The sixth week falls on February, which means that the battery was produced in February.

Reviews

Artyom
No matter how many different batteries I tried, Topla pleasantly surprised me with its reliability. Long shelf life, engine start is always no problem, even in cold weather. It is rare to charge.

Vladimir
Just an eternal battery! It has been working for more than four years, and no problems. The quality of work has not deteriorated by any amount.

Ilmir
The battery is not bad, there are no complaints about the quality of work. And the design is stylish, attracts attention. But died immediately after the warranty. That is, the service life is very small.
