Products of the South Korean automobile industry are very popular in our country. Batteries imported from this Asian state are also in demand. This article will talk about high-quality BOST batteries, which have a lot of advantages, and the existence of which should be known to every car owner.

Battery manufacturer BOST
BOST batteries are manufactured by the South Korean company Bost Holdings. Since 2012, car batteries have been manufactured at the latest DTR factory, which is fully equipped with only modern equipment.
Currently, the annual production capacity is 3 million units, but in the near future it is planned to raise this bar to 5 million. The sale of finished products is carried out in many countries of the world.
In the domestic market, products are represented by the widest assortment, in which there are battery models, both for passenger cars and for small trucks and special equipment.
The official website of the company is located at: https://bost.kr.
Where are BOST batteries used?
BOST batteries are successfully used as starter devices in cars of various capacities. The batteries of this brand are ideal for novice drivers, because the sealed battery design eliminates the possibility of product breakdown as a result of improper maintenance.
For trucks, BOST batteries are presented only by one model on 105 ah, but the power of such products is enough only for small gasoline cars of this type.
Applied technologies and their features
Due to the fact that the production facilities of the DTR plant are fully equipped with the latest equipment from the USA, Germany and Italy, the company managed to achieve the highest level of quality of finished products.
The battery grill of this brand is manufactured using Punched Grud technology. In addition, technological solutions are used, such as: hot melting, processing of lead plates with a special chemical composition, COS welding method and high-resistance separator.
The application of innovative development in the field of battery production allowed us to obtain the following performance characteristics:
- Increased shelf life due to corrosion resistance.
- Decrease in self-discharge.
- Increased resistance to vibration loads.
- The increased value of the starting current of the cold scroll.
- No acid leakage.
- Reduces the likelihood of fire and explosion.
An additional element that allows to maximize the active life is a frame that is installed around the perimeter of the plates. Thanks to the reinforced lattice design, it is possible to significantly reduce the effect of shedding of the active mass.
Service and Charging
Maintenance of BOST batteries is only to keep the case clean and to charge the battery on time. If the car’s generator is operating in normal mode, and the car is used quite often, then you do not need to recharge the battery from the charger.
If the battery is discharged to an extremely low value, then it should be charged only by the factory charger, preferably the automatic principle of operation.
To prevent a decrease in the supply of electric current to the on-board system, it is recommended that you clean the terminals from scale from time to time. A dielectric film can cause even a lack of engine start.
Technical characteristics of a model range
The range of Bost batteries is represented by the following series:
- Premium - car batteries with capacities from 44 to 105 Ah, which are ideal for passenger cars of European production.
- Asia - batteries are designed for installation on vehicles manufactured in Asia. They differ from other products in terminal diameter and dimensions.
- Standard - batteries familiar to us for European cars. The capacity starts at 52 Ah and ends at 230 Ah with a starting current of 300 A to 1100 A.
The model range of each series of BOST batteries differs not only in capacity, but also in terms of cold scroll current and polarity, so you can always choose products that will be ideally suited for a particular brand of car.
The entire lineup consists of more than 300 batteries, the full specification can be downloaded at LINK.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
Batteries, even manufactured using modern equipment and using high-quality materials, should not be idle for a long time. Before buying, it is recommended to determine the year of manufacture in order to purchase a product that will last as long as possible.
Marking on Bost batteries is applied to the top cover near the handle. Release date is determined by the first 2 characters of the code. For example, if the designation starts with 9B, then this will mean that the battery was manufactured in February 2019, that is, the number indicates a year without a millennium, a century, and a decade, and the letter indicates the month in the Latin alphabet.

Reviews
Artyom. Ramenskoye city.
The batteries of Korean manufacturers are not inferior in quality to European ones. I bought Bost last year, while it works fine.
Michael. Yeysk.
The characteristics of the discharge current of batteries of this brand are fully consistent with the declared, so there are no problems starting the engine even in winter.
Leonid. Kursk
If you need a small battery, the 44 Ah Bost is what you need! He himself was looking for a suitable battery for Matiz for a long time since a standard battery cannot cope with providing the car with electricity in the winter season.
