American battery

American batteries are automotive starter batteries that are made in Korea only for the US domestic market. They are also suitable for use in Russian weather conditions. These are modern, technological, frost-resistant, maintenance-free and battery-safe.

Battery Manufacturer American

The manufacturer of these batteries is a Korean company. Delkor. The company was established in 1985 with the active participation of Delphi Automotive Systems. DAS is an American auto parts corporation.

The reader will be able to get a closer look at the products that Delcor produces on the official website: https://www.delkor.com.au/en-au. The site is in English, as it is designed for English-speaking residents.

Delcor batteries are very popular in the USA. Car manufacturer American company General Motors complements each car with conveyor battery data. Quality control is carried out in three stages. Each of which this type of battery runs perfectly.

Where are American batteries used?

Starter batteries are used in all cars: cars, trucks. Battery packs are being developed for buses and light commercial vehicles, which are very popular in the United States.

Thanks to modern technologies used in the manufacture of starter batteries, they are durable and last much longer than batteries from other companies.

Applied technologies and their features

First of all, all types of batteries of this company are maintenance free. The fact is that not one American will begin to crawl under the hood on his own, and all the more to engage in battery maintenance.

The advantages of this type of battery are:

• a large amount of tin and alloying silver is added when casting cathode and anode lattices. This allows the grilles to become durable, easily resist the corrosion that other types of batteries are subject to;
• the lower edges are wrapped with plastic tape. This is done so that long-term vibration when the car is moving, especially along off-road tracks, does not destroy the grille from below. Since the process of destruction always begins with the deformation of the bottom of the gratings;
• stiffeners are made movable. While on others - they are not mobile. In this way, envelopes and gratings are protected when the battery is discharged and recharged. Because it is at this time that the narrowing and expansion of these envelopes occurs, which leads to rapid wear;
• a flat bottom protects the lower edge from destruction due to vibration;
• the terminals in American batteries are screwed in and crimped in addition. Therefore, the terminals do not loosen as a result of prolonged use of the battery, as is the case with other types. Accordingly, there is no depressurization and leakage of electrolyte out;
• manufactured according to the American standard Battery Council International;
• have an indicator that shows the level of charge;
• a polypropylene insert protects the inside of the battery from sparks during engine start-up. A common system of separation of gas and electrolyte does not allow to expend water in large quantities.

Technical specifications

A wide range of models allows you to choose a copy for almost any car. Most batteries have both standard American terminals located on the front of the case, and ASIA type towering above the top cover.

This model range is presented here in Russia, in the states it is much wider. Such batteries are put on cars brought from the United States, since our standard ones simply will not stand up. With the type of terminals, ASIA is installed on Asian cars, most often on Lexus, Acura and Infinity.

Depending on the capacity, they can be divided into cars and trucks. For trucks, the capacity starts at 130 Ah.

Service and Charging

American batteries are not serviced and cannot be repaired. The term of operation is set by the country producer Korea and is equal to four years. The warranty period for the sale of a starter battery is three years.

Without additional recharging, the battery can stand for a year and a half and not lose its charge. From time to time it is recommended to wipe the case from moisture and dirt.

How to find out the release date and decrypt the code

The year of manufacture on American batteries is located on the case. You can determine the year of manufacture by decoding the code. Marking is deciphered as follows:

1. The first number indicates the year of manufacture.
2. The second letter denotes the month: A - January, B - February, and so on for the remaining 10 months.
3. The release date can be found on the negative terminal. It is knocked out in the form of a pair of two-digit numbers separated by a bar. For example, 35 \ 18 means that the battery was manufactured in the thirty-fifth week of 2018.

I have been using American batteries since I bought a car. Never let me down. The car starts easily even in January frosts. For two years he had never recharged it.

The quality of American is superior to conventional batteries. Checked for yourself. I don’t know how they behave in cars, and my truck starts up pretty quickly, without making me nervous. I think that for a good car - you should buy high-quality starter batteries.
