Where are Tudor batteries used?

The brand includes several model ranges of rechargeable batteries. They are designed for cars, SUVs and trucks, as well as for special equipment subjected to high loads.

Production is conducted in Spain, Italy, Poland and Belarus. Therefore, this brand is widespread there. Although the rest of the world, Tudor batteries are no less popular. There are models in both European and Asian versions, which makes them suitable for cars of different production.

In the manufacture of their cars they are used by BMW, Chrysler, Citroen, Fiat, General Motors, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Seat and Volkswagen, as well as other world famous vehicle manufacturers.

Applied technologies and their features

In the manufacture of Tudor batteries, only the most advanced technologies are used to ensure the high technical characteristics of this equipment. Many technologies were first developed and applied by this manufacturer.

Among them:

1. Doping lead plates with calcium. This increases the strength of the plates, the performance of the battery itself, and also significantly reduces fluid consumption. This allows you to make structures maintenance free.
2. Production of lead electrode arrays by cold perforation and their subsequent stretching. It also has a positive effect on the strength and performance of the equipment. This technology was first used by Tudor.
3. Maintenance free. The batteries of this brand can not be opened, it is reliably soldered, which eliminates accidental spillage of electrolyte. Topping up water is also not necessary.
4. AGM technology. According to this technology, the electrolyte inside the battery is not contained in liquid form, but in gel form, like impregnation for a special material located between the plates. This technology improves the performance and reliability of the structure, and also increases the service life.

The batteries of this brand have high starting currents and volt saturation.

Technical specifications

The range of Tudor batteries is wide and allows you to choose the right model for almost any car. You can divide all the batteries of this brand into several large groups with different technical characteristics:

Each line contains models with direct and reverse polarity, as well as with different types of terminals. You can get acquainted with the full model range on the official website of the company representative in Russia.

Tudor Battery Maintenance

Tudor batteries are completely maintenance free. Therefore, you will not have to remove the cover and top up. Maintenance-free greatly simplifies equipment maintenance. The tightly soldered lid, made in a special design, eliminates spillage of the electrolyte, and everything that evaporates, thanks to the special design, condenses and comes back.

Therefore, all that is required of the owner of such equipment is to periodically charge it and handle it carefully. Avoid deep discharge, shock and shock. Bringing the battery into the room, for example, to charge, first it must naturally warm up to room temperature.

How to charge a Tudor battery

Charging maintenance-free batteries is required less often than maintenance-free batteries. However, from time to time it becomes necessary. This should only be done using a special charger that allows you to set and control voltage and current strength.

Set the current on such a device in the amount of one tenth of the battery capacity. That is, with a capacity of 60 Ah you need to set 6 A. And the voltage should not exceed 14.4 V. Periodically, you need to control the process and check the indicators. The duration of charging depends on the degree of discharge.

How to find out the release date and decrypt the code

The batteries of this brand are marked with letters and numbers. The second letter indicates the year of manufacture: Y - 2011, Z - 2012, A - 2013, B - 2014, C - 2015, D - 2016 and so on. The fifth letter is used to indicate the month of release: A - January, B - February, C - March, D - April, E - May, F - June, G - July, H - August, I - September, J - October, K - November, L - December.

For example: OA24DPX66J, then the release date is April 2013.

An excellent battery, for good reason this brand is one of the best in the world. Shelf life is long, it is rare to charge. Even in cold weather it holds a charge well.
