About Forse
The Forse brand is produced by the Russian manufacturer BatBaza. This company is engaged in the distribution of goods, their promotion, training of sales representatives, as well as equipment maintenance. Other companies are engaged in production.
Initially, production was carried out by the Ukrainian company Vesta-Dnepr in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. This was in 2006, when the Forse brand first appeared on the Russian market, and lasted until 2014. Now, the Kursk Battery Factory is engaged in the production of batteries for BatBaza.
In addition to Forse, this company owns other brands, including Norr, Fireball, Dominator, Uno, FB.
Where are Forse batteries used?
Forse batteries come in a variety of options and are suitable for a wide range of vehicles. These are trucks and cars, and there is also a separate series for motorcycles.
It is possible to use such batteries in both domestic cars and foreign cars. They are mainly distributed in Russia and the CIS countries. Thanks to a sufficiently wide model range, as well as a wide range of capacities and inrush currents, you can choose a model for almost any car.
Applied technologies and their features
Forse batteries have good specifications and are reliable. High quality is achieved thanks to modern technologies used in production:
- Ca-Ca technology, which involves the use of calcium alloys in the manufacture of gratings, thereby increasing their strength and performance, as well as reducing fluid consumption;
- fire safety thanks to the technology of built-in flame arrester;
- special design with gas vent caps;
- the use of special additives in the manufacture of plates, due to which an increased number of electrons is achieved, due to which, in turn, the starting current is increased;
- the use of plugs to access battery banks - this feature allows you to measure electrolyte parameters at any convenient time and add water if necessary - that is, these batteries are serviced.
The manufacturer claims that thanks to the technologies involved, an easy engine start is provided in the cold season, and the electrodes have increased strength. Three year construction warranty.
Despite serviceability, calcium batteries are close in reliability and service life to maintenance-free ones.
Specifications
Forces batteries on the market are primarily European sizes. Their capacity varies from 50 to 225 Ah. There are also batteries of Asian standard size, with a capacity of 35 to 95 Ah. Everything can be divided into several groups:
For motorcycles
These are not serviceable batteries made using AGM technology (with absorbed electrolyte). That is, these batteries are dry-charged, which means they can be stored longer, and they also have an increased inrush current.Unlike Russian counterparts, they are higher in quality and performance, and cheaper than imported ones. A large lineup allows you to choose a battery for any motor vehicle: scooters, motorcycles and ATVs.

Forse Battery Maintenance
Since Forse batteries are manufactured using calcium alloys and a special lid design, maintenance is minimized. Here's what you need to do:
- Top up with distilled water as needed. To do this, remove the cover and evaluate the liquid level. It should cover the plates by about a centimeter.
- Check density with a hydrometer. You need to do this in each bank separately. Hydrometer - a special device for measuring density.
- Monitor the voltage at the terminals. For a fully charged calcium battery, it is about 12.7 V.
- Charge if necessary.
Despite the fact that you can and even sometimes need to open the lid and control the liquid level in these batteries, in quality they are close to unattended, troubles with them are a minimum.
How to charge Forse batteries
It is necessary to bring the battery into a warm room and let it warm. Then you need to wipe the unit from dirt and moisture, as this may cause a short circuit between the terminals. The next step is to remove the top cover and unscrew the plugs. Now you can check the electrolyte density level and its quantity. If necessary, add water. Explosive gas will also escape through the open covers, so you need to charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
All covers have built-in valves for the release of gases, but it is better to unscrew them anyway, since due to high pressure it can break the battery.
The wires of the charger must be connected to the battery terminals, observing the polarity. If the charger allows you to set the current value, then it must be calculated based on the battery capacity. It must be divided by 10. That is, with a capacity of 60 Ah, the current will be 6 A.
Forse batteries have a charge indicator. After the battery is fully charged, it will turn green. The exact charging time depends on the battery level.
Important! It is better not to allow a deep and, especially, long-term discharge of the Forse battery. Despite the manufacturer's assurances that his equipment reacts neutrally to deep discharge, it can actually do harm. It is better to charge it as the charge drops.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
The manufacturer of these batteries uses a ten-digit mark.Consider how to determine the release date from it, for example.
Let's say the code 6374 624132 is applied. The first digit is in it 6 Is the line number. Next three digits 374 Is the batch code. Next figure 6 means the last digit of the year, that is. 2016 year. After half a year. 1 is the first, and 2 - this is the second. The next figure is the serial number of the month, depending on the half year. If the first, then: 1 - January, 2 - February, 3 - March, 4 - April, 5 - May, 6 - June. If the second, then: 1 - July, 2 - August, 3 - September, 4 - October5 - November; 6 - December. Then comes the date 13 and brigade number.
That is, the battery was manufactured on October 13, 2016.
Heavy batteries will be labeled differently. For example: 14010243. It turns out that a 140 Ah battery is the first three digits. The next two are the year of manufacture, 10 is 2010. The number 2 means the second half of the year, and the number 4 - the month of the second half, respectively, October. Well, the number 3 is the number of the brigade.

Extremely unreliable, short shelf life - generally died very quickly. Before that, there were problems in cold weather, did not allow the engine to start normally and was discharged instantly.
Vlad
The battery is not bad, it has been working with me for more than two years. It’s easy to maintain - you need to recharge it periodically. It is almost not necessary to add water. I chose on the official website - I liked the characteristics.
Novel
I got this battery with the car from the previous owner. I thought that he was so-so, and was going to change, but all hands did not reach. As a result, I was pleasantly surprised by its capabilities.
Forse. 100 I bought a year ago. 2 pcs. ac. He believed the manufacturer that he was not afraid of deep discharge. Allowed discharge. And everything died. I wanted to use it to power the Inventor.
It’s sad. Wherever there is a danger of frequent deep discharges, traction batteries (AGM or EFB) must be used. If the operating conditions are gentle, then you can take gel (GEL).
I have Dnepropetrovsk Forse 74 Ah running on a car 3.5 V6 gasoline since 2008, for 10 years. During this time, he twice corrected the level by adding water, I recharge the charger regularly, especially in winter. That was QUALITY!
I confirm the words of Semyon: Dnepropetrovsk worked for 8 years! Once a year, just in case, I recharged it in auto mode.
I decided to take the same one for replacement - not a damn thing. Over the winter, I charge 4 times. Manufacturer: Istok LLC Kursk region. By the way, there was no indicator either on the old or on this battery.
I’ve been driving the car for the fourth year, the Force92 battery has recently been discharged, before that I got it to be charged once after 3 weeks of inactivity in winter, I can’t understand the production date, here are the numbers 5092 318021
The figure 8 is a little confusing, but according to the idea it is deciphered as follows:
5 - line number
092 - part
3 - 2013 year
1 - the first half of the year
8 - according to the idea, there can be a number from 1 to 6, which will mean a month, depending on the half-year.
02 is the second number.
1 - team number.
It turns out that the battery was released in the first half of 2013, the second day, but it is not clear what month. Maybe it’s hard to see and this is the number 3, then March or 6, then June.
I bought a force in October 18! I died in the first frost minus 5, I checked the density of 1.10. I made 1.28 it didn’t help the shit, tear off my bitch, release the acb 08. 18g.
The best force is Ukraine’s production, the first worked 5 years until I killed it myself by discharging it with zero forgotten dimensions and so several times, the second bought the same in 2013, I ride it still in any frost, it’s already 6 year, there was also a discharge to zero by Chinese seat heating, charged, everything seems to be fine, the battery is excellent, but I will repeat Ukraine production.
Akum is not bad, it works for all 100! But I also can’t figure out the production date: 2730 337419! For a half a year and a month they somehow don’t work together!
The battery is not bad, but on top of the main plates there are still some other plates that are more fat. I don’t know how to add Dis water on top of these plates or only the main ones?
