Inexpensive FireBall batteries are used in cars with basic equipment, where only standard devices that consume electricity are used. For more than 10 years they have served faithfully to domestic car owners. It is about this type of battery that will be discussed in this material.

Battery manufacturer Fireball
The company was renamed “FireBall” in 2008. Initially, the batteries of this company were produced at the factory "Source”, But after rebranding, all production moved to the Vesta-Dnepr enterprise. In 2015, the issue was postponed to Russia due to the unstable situation in Ukraine.
Along with the change of brand, it was planned to abandon the FireBall model, however, the market needs for cheap devices forced the company management to abandon such ideas. Therefore, FireBall batteries are still available in a proprietary bright red case. The choice of color is determined by the desire of the manufacturer to split their product lines so that the buyer does not have problems with the correct choice of the necessary device.
The official website of the manufacturer is located at: batbaza.ru.
Where are Fireball batteries used?
This brand of batteries is used to start the engine and maintain electrical equipment in cars and trucks. However, they should be standard. This device is not intended for use with high energy devices or with vehicles with a Start-Stop system.
They are mainly installed on economy and middle class vehicles. For premium cars, the use of such a battery is impractical.
Applied technologies and their features
For the production of low-maintenance FireBall batteries, calcium technology (Ca / Ca) is used, which involves doping lead plates with a special composition containing calcium. In the central boxes there are gas vents. Plastic tabs used in the manufacturing process of the device fix the electrode plates, this allows to increase resistance to vibration shock loads.
The presence of a cover in the filter system responsible for flame extinguishing minimizes the likelihood of explosive situations when sparks enter the environment. This feature greatly enhances battery safety.
The calcium alloy used for the plates in the manufacturing process allows the battery to last up to 10 months without recharging, however, it must be taken into account that the storage temperature does not exceed the value of 20 ° C. The battery tolerates deep discharge well. Not sensitive to voltage drops. The electrodes of the battery are able to resist corrosion for a long time.
Although the manufacturer claims good tolerance for deep discharges, as a rulecalcium batteries Do not tolerate deep discharges.
Technical characteristics of a model range
A large number of models allows the customer to choose the most optimal option for purchase. Consider the main technical characteristics of the model range of this brand of batteries.
Passenger batteries
Depending on the model, the battery capacity for a passenger car varies from 60 to 90 Ah. The inrush current indicators are in the range of 480-760 A. The company produces batteries of both direct and reverse polarity.
Batteries of this brand for cars are produced in Russia. The warranty period provided by the manufacturer is 12 months. The voltage in the device is 12 V.
Cargo batteries
Capacity indicators for FireBall cargo batteries are in the range of 140-190 Ah. The starting current power is 900-1150 A. As with cars, the company produces reverse and direct polarity devices for trucks.
The production of batteries is carried out in Russia. The standard voltage when fully charged is 12 V. Quality assurance is provided by the manufacturer for 12 months.
Service and Charging
Every year, after 10 months of operation, but no later than 1 year, you need to provide a battery for inspection in the warranty service center. This is done to maintain the device, as well as to verify the parameters.
Charging the battery should be carried out strictly in a ventilated area. It is forbidden to smoke during this process. An open flame should also be avoided. If the battery is rarely used, it is necessary to check its parameters. If the electrolyte density level falls below the value set by the factory, it is necessary to charge it.
Before charging, it is necessary to clean the terminals from dirt to ensure the most tight contact between them and the charging equipment. The process of restoring the density of the electrolyte should be carried out strictly while charging the battery.
For charging and other work with batteries, it is imperative to use protective gloves and glasses to avoid electrolyte getting on the skin and mucous membrane of the eye. This can cause burns.
Important! If this nevertheless happened, immediately rinse the place of contact with running water and 10% soda solution.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
Determining the year of manufacture of the FireBall battery is fairly easy. It is encrypted in the code assigned to each battery. To do this, you need to know the first four digits. The first two indicate the month of release. The following two characters correspond to the last digits in the year in which the battery was released.
In general, the markings of this battery manufacturer are as follows: 0318 1 23178
The first four are the release date, as noted above, followed by a single number indicating the number of the shift that released the battery. The five-digit number at the end indicates the ordinal number of the battery. It is reset at the beginning of each month.
