Atlas BX Batteries

Korean-made batteries are popular all over the world for their high quality, variety and affordable prices. They are great for Russian realities - both road and climatic, stand up both native and domestic cars, and foreign cars. Among these South Korean leaders are Atlas BX batteries.

About Atlas BX

The manufacturer of batteries under this name is the South Korean company AtlasBX Co. Ltd ". It began its journey in the middle of the 20th century, and was then called "Isan Ltd". It was renamed twice, and since 2004 it bears the name by which it is known to this day.

The company stood at the origins of the production of the first maintenance-free battery in South Korea, it was in the 80s of the last century. Today, the manufacturer is one of the industry leaders in the world.

Currently, production continues to expand and improve, new technologies are being introduced. Thanks to growth and development, the manufacturer manages to maintain a leading position in the country and in the world, as well as to maintain the unflagging interest of consumers.

Where are Atlas BX batteries used?

Atlas BX batteries are distributed in all parts of the world, imported into many countries. They can be used on cars - both as standard and premium. Including on Asian, in particular - on Japanese cars.

There are also lines for modern cars with a start-stop system. There is a good choice for freight transport, as well as water.

Batteries of this brand are delivered to conveyors of many world manufacturers of American, European, Asian vehicles.

Applied technologies and their features

In the manufacture of batteries of this brand only high-quality materials and carefully purified lead are used. The technologies used in the manufacture of these batteries:

1. X-Frame - lattice manufacturing technology for optimal down conductor. It contributes to a higher and more stable inrush current - 30% higher than standard batteries. Such a lattice has a higher adhesion to the active mass.
2. High Durability Plate - technology used in the manufacture of electrode plates. It increases their strength and durability, which means - the whole structure too.
3. Carbon Plus is a technology due to which the equipment becomes stronger and faster to charge, longer and better stores charge, acquires resistance to self-discharge.

Atlas BX batteries are both conventional, lead-acid and modern, completely maintenance-free AGM batteries - in which the electrolyte is in the form of impregnation for a special material. Moreover, they have greater power, reliability and have a long shelf life. Spillage and evaporation of electrolyte in them is excluded.

Technical specifications

Atlas BX rechargeable batteries are divided into categories for passenger cars, for trucks, as well as for water equipment. A full assortment can be found on the official website of the company.

For cars

Atlas BX UHPB - rechargeable batteries for all types of cars. They have increased strength and stability of inrush current. They have such characteristics: capacity - from 45 to 110 Ah, cold scroll current - from 400 to 950 A.

Atlas BX SMF - Battery suitable for all types of cars and for small trucks. Reliable, durable, resistant to self-discharge.They have a capacity of 45 to 110 Ah, the cold scroll current is 400-950 A.

For vehicles with start-stop system

Atlas BX Start Stop plus AGM - modern gel batteries, in which the electrolyte is not in liquid, but in adsorbed form - as an impregnation for special glass fiber. And the plates are twisted in a spiral. Open the lid, add water - this is not about them and not for them. They are completely maintenance free, yet durable, powerful and durable. The capacity of these batteries is 60-95 Ah, the starting current is from 680 to 850 A.

Atlas BX Start Stop EFB are traditional lead-acid starter batteries with liquid electrolyte. Designed for use in cars with start-stop function, mainly in modern European cars.

Atlas BX HEV - These are high-voltage Ni-MH or lithium-ion batteries. They are designed for vehicles with hybrid engines, where they are used as the main or auxiliary for the accumulation of energy recovery during braking.

For trucks

Atlas BX Heavy Duty - This is a battery for trucks, buses, specialized heavy equipment - construction, agricultural, for other commercial vehicles. They have such indicators: capacity from 145 to 225 Ah, and inrush current - in the range of 700-1150 A.

Atlas BX Super Heavy Duty represent an improved variation of the previous category of batteries. They are also intended for trucks, buses and heavy equipment, for example - construction. Their capacity varies from 145 to 225 Ah, and the starting current is 700-1150 A. The difference from Atlas BX Heavy Duty is that thicker current-carrying gratings and a more active vibration-resistant mass are used.

For water transport

Atlas BX dual purpose AGM - batteries for water transport, can be used in mechanisms with electronic units. They have high reliability, resistance to self-discharge and protection against moisture. Suitable for long-term storage out of season. The batteries of this series are gel, made using AGM technology.

Atlas BX Battery Maintenance

Battery maintenance is as follows:

• avoid shock, strong vibrations, sharp shaking of the battery;
• periodically carefully inspect for cracks, leaks, swelling;
• clean the case, terminals, ventilation openings from dirt, remove oxidation from the pole terminals, if it forms;
• prevent deep discharge of the battery, charge on time;
• Do not store the battery in a discharged state, check the charge level every 3-6 months.

Serviced models require fluid control. This is usually done during charging. It is necessary to remove the cover, measure the density of the electrolyte and, if necessary, add water.

How to charge Atlas BX batteries

The Atlas BX battery is charged if necessary from the mains. The battery must be removed from the car and brought into the room, if necessary - let it warm to room temperature, you can not charge a cold battery. Then clean from dirt and moisture.

Then connect, observing the polarity, the charger. The charging current should be no more than one tenth of the battery capacity. And with a deep discharge, you need to charge it with a very weak current - no higher than 2 amperes. This will take a long time.

Charged equipment is considered when the voltage remains unchanged for two hours.

During charging, you need to monitor the temperature of the electrolyte - you can not heat it above 45-50 degrees. In this case, the process is worth stopping. For serviced models, it is also necessary to check the density of the electrolyte and, after charging, add water if necessary.

How to find out the release date and decrypt the code

Marking on batteries of this brand is applied to the cover under the pen and is an alphanumeric code. The release date in it is indicated by the first two characters. The first is the last digit of the year of manufacture.The second is the letter encrypting the month of the year: A - January, B - February, C - March, D - April, E - May, F - June, G - July, H - August, J - September, K - October, L - November, M - December, but the letter “I” is not used by the manufacturer.

Marking example: 2KJD24. This code means that the battery was manufactured in October 2012.

Reviews

Alexey
I am the owner of such a battery, the seventh year I have. All these years served me faithfully. In winter and summer there were no problems with him. The main thing is to monitor and regularly charge.

Daniel
In winter, you have to charge almost every two weeks. Once I missed a moment, as a result, he went into a deep discharge, and to reanimate him, it took me two days.

Alexander
I have been using it for three years. I do not go every day. We do not have strong frosts, and the car is always in a warm garage, so I won’t say anything during the winter. I like that he is unattended - no unnecessary fuss.
