Not every manufacturer offers products in the form of an acid battery that can last more than 5 years. AutoFan batteries easily overcome this time period, and with careful use they can work even longer. The main technical characteristics of such devices will be described below.

Production of AvtoFan batteries is carried out according to Ca / Ca Technology. This feature allows the battery to deliver higher loads during engine start-up, tolerate deep discharges well and provide minimal water consumption.
This greatly simplifies the operation of the battery, though you still have to sometimes monitor the level of electrolyte and its density. From time to time you will have to open the covers and add water. Batteries made using this technology tolerate high voltage during charging.
Technical characteristics of a model range
The lineup of this brand of batteries is presented by the following models:
- Avtofan 55 - the battery is designed for installation on cars equipped with an average power engine. The product, as a rule, has a direct polarity and a starting current of 420 A.

Service and Charging
Due to acid-calcium technology, batteries are considered low-maintenance. With careful use, it can be considered maintenance free. It turns out the main battery maintenance is to clean it from dirt and dust, and the terminals - from scale. During operation, the product should be protected from mechanical damage. It is also necessary to avoid a situation where engine oil or fuel gets on the battery case. In this case, not only does the appearance of the product deteriorate, but there is a risk of vehicle ignition.
It is best to charge the battery with the use of automatic devices. Such chargers supply current to the product, the strength of which directly depends on the degree of discharged battery. If the restoration of the battery capacity is carried out in the old manner, it is necessary to turn the adjustment knob of the device so that the built-in ammeter indicates the value of the charging current, which will be approximately 10% of the battery capacity. Charging in this way is carried out for ten hours.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
Buy a battery that has been gathering dust on a store shelf for a long time - throwing money away. You can completely protect yourself from the purchase of “stale” goods only if you learn to read the markings applied during the manufacture of the product.

The Avtofan battery was purchased due to its low price, but the product copes with its function perfectly. Our country is very cold, but thanks to this battery model, the car starts easily in any weather.

The battery is inexpensive, but it proved to be excellent when operating in the winter season.
Alexander. Omsk
Inexpensive, but very reliable battery. Already discharged it once to zero, but after that it was possible to completely restore the battery.
The autofan battery is weak, I would not put it on the list of good ones. I had one, I regretted that I bought it, I suffered a year with her and changed it to Bath Beer, here the guys really opened the batteries to understand what was the reason for their rapid incapacitation.
