To purchase a high-quality battery for a car, it is not necessary to buy imported products. In our country, batteries are manufactured using the most modern technologies, while the cost of such a battery will be noticeably lower in comparison with foreign counterparts. A prominent representative of the domestic battery industry are Kursk batteries.

Kursk Battery Manufacturer
Kursk Battery Plant LLC is the largest enterprise in the country producing lead starter batteries for cars and motor vehicles. Products manufactured under the Kursk Battery brand are supplied not only to the retail distribution network, but are also delivered to the country's defense enterprises, as well as to assembly shops of various automobile plants.
Batteries manufactured under this brand have all the necessary characteristics for efficient use throughout our country. Starter batteries do their job well even in the extreme north.
Despite the high rates of reliability and shelf life, products are cheaper than imported counterparts. First of all, the relatively low cost is associated with the fact that the plant has its own equipment for smelting lead, from which positive and negative plates are then made.
The official website of the manufacturer is located at: http://www.akbkursk.ru/
Where are Kursk batteries used?
The bulk of the products manufactured at the plant is designed to equip a variety of vehicles with a chemical energy source. Also, production has launched production of batteries for the space industry.
In addition to starter batteries, the plant also manufactures stationary products used in uninterruptible power supplies. Due to the fact that the company uses modern American equipment, it was possible to establish the release of batteries resistant to deep discharge. Such products are used as traction batteries, which can be installed on various ground and water electric vehicles.
Products with a small capacity indicator are installed on motorcycles and scooters. In addition, such batteries are widely used to run various stationary devices, for example, gas generators.
Applied technologies and their features
The company manufactures alkaline and acid batteries for various purposes. For automobile transport, battery production is carried out using hybrid technology. This means that negative plates are made of lead doped with calcium.
This design feature can significantly reduce the effect of water evaporation. The main difference between such a half-calcium battery and products of other brands made by hybrid technology is the presence of plugs above each can. Thus, even a slight decrease in the electrolyte level can be compensated by opening the lid and adding water.
In addition, in the manufacture of batteries of this brand, a current collector of a larger area is used, which can significantly increase the cold scroll current. It is also possible to increase the battery power through the use of invertor separators.
Technical characteristics of a model range
The batteries of this manufacturer are represented by a model range consisting of more than 300 models of chemical sources of electricity. Most of them are used as starter batteries in cars and trucks.

When selecting a new battery, you should pay attention to the location of the terminals on the case in order to purchase a product of suitable polarity.
Service and Charging
Kursk batteries are manufactured using hybrid technology, it is not necessary to remove the cover in order to add water. An exception is vehicle operation in hot climates. In this case, water can evaporate much faster due to excessive heating of the battery.
Charge Kursk batteries with a direct current voltage of 14 - 14.4 V. The recommended current strength, in this case, should be approximately 10% of the nominal capacity. Charging time is 10 hours.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
An acid battery does not tolerate long-term storage, so the “fresher” the products presented in the store will be, the better. You can determine the year of manufacture of the Kursk battery by the code. Marking is applied to the top cover immediately after the manufacture of the battery.
The release date is indicated by the first 4 digits. The first two digits indicate the month, the next two - the year. For example, code 0119XXXXXXX indicates that the battery was manufactured in January 2019.

Reviews
Michael. Nalchik.
I have been buying Kursk batteries for more than 20 years. Excellent quality at a reasonable price, and the last time the battery lasted more than 7 years.
Konstantin. Arkhangelsk
Good modern batteries, which, in practice, are not inferior to imported samples. The last time I bought the Kursk battery on the Niva five years ago. To this day, perfectly rotates the crankshaft in any weather.

Kursk batteries are manufactured using Ca / Ca technology with the addition of selenium, so even when operating in frosty weather, the battery does its job perfectly.
