Rocket Batteries

Looking for a new battery takes too much time. After all, I want to minimize costs and not sag in quality. Before you go shopping you need to carefully study the characteristics and reputation of the manufacturer. This article will talk in detail about Rocket batteries, which are a worthy instance among starter batteries. This product has very good endurance to multiple engine starts, so it is ideal for installation on a vehicle operating in urban conditions.

Battery Manufacturer Rocket

Rocket batteries are manufactured at the Global Battery factory located in South Korea. This company has been manufacturing acid batteries for over 60 years. The company has entered the international level since the 80s of the last century and is currently exporting its products to 140 countries.

Since 1994, the company commissioned a second plant, equipped with the most modern equipment. The company is located in the city of Gwangju, which is the sixth largest in this country. The company employs more than 1 thousand workers, so the total capacity of the plant reaches 3.5 million batteries per year. The official website of the manufacturer is located at: http://www.rocketbatt.com.

Where are Rocket batteries used?

Rocket acid batteries are used as starter devices on various cars and motorcycles. Due to the fact that the company's products are represented by a very large assortment, each owner of a truck or car will be able to choose the most suitable model for themselves.

A large number of sizes allows you to select a device for any car. Most batteries are made with direct and reverse polarity. Terminals can be either European or Asian (type ASIA).

Such well-known car manufacturers as Daewoo, Hyundai, Kia use Rocket batteries to equip new cars at the factory.

The bulk of the batteries are made specifically for an Asian car with an ASIA terminal type (thin terminals sticking out over the body).

Applied technologies and their features

The factory in South Korea, where Rocket batteries are being manufactured, is a modern production facility. The latest equipment installed at the enterprise allows to produce plates by pulling from a lead sheet. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to minimize costs and significantly reduce the cost of finished products. Also, “drawn” plates are more resistant to corrosion, which can significantly increase the shelf life of the battery.

The use of Ca / Ca technology can significantly increase the cold scroll current and capacity. Thanks to this feature of operation, it is possible to make the battery case low-maintenance (MF prefix), as well as completely maintenance free (SMF prefix). The use of calcium doped lead also allows you to increase battery life.

Technical specifications

Under this brand, batteries are produced, the capacity of which is from 45 to 150 ah, which allows you to choose a battery for both cars and trucks.

Passenger batteries

For installation on passenger cars, you can use the following Rocket battery models:

• Rocket 6CT-45 - This model is ideal for small cars. Capacity - 45 Ah; starting current - 430A; overall dimensions: 238x129x225 mm.
• Rocket 6CT-65 - this type of battery is suitable for gasoline vehicles of medium power.Capacity - 65 Ah; starting current - 580A; overall dimensions: 232х173х225 mm.
• Rocket 6CT-70 - can be used to replace the Rocket 6CT-65 model. Capacity - 70 Ah; starting current - 600 A; overall dimensions: 260х173х222 mm.
• Rocket 6CТ-80 - used for installation on powerful gasoline and diesel cars. Capacity - 80 Ah; starting current - 650 A; overall dimensions: 260х173х222 mm.
• Rocket 6CТ-90 - is used for installation on powerful diesel cars and vans. Capacity - 90 Ah; starting current - 750 A; overall dimensions: 303x173x225 mm.

All of the listed models of Rocket batteries are classified as SMF, that is, to maintain the product in good condition during the entire period of operation, it is not necessary to open the lid and add water to the banks.

Cargo batteries

The following Rocket battery models can be used for installation on trucks:

• Rocket 6CТ-100 - used for installation on small trucks and buses. Capacity - 100 Ah; starting current –870 A; overall dimensions: 330х173х232 mm
• Rocket 6CТ-120 - used for medium power trucks. Capacity - 120 Ah; starting current –1000 A; overall dimensions: 330x173x240 mm.
• Rocket 6CТ-150 - is installed on powerful diesel trucks and special equipment. Capacity - 150 Ah; cold scroll current –950 A; overall dimensions: 508x222x238 mm.

Both cargo and passenger batteries from this manufacturer can be produced with different polarity, therefore, when buying, you should pay attention to which side the positive terminal is located on the case. For the most part, all cargo batteries are made using MF technology, which means that you will have to monitor the electrolyte level and add water if necessary.

Service and Charging

Most calcium batteries Rocket are manufactured unattended, therefore during operation it is not necessary to monitor the level of electrolyte. It will be enough only from time to time to clean the housing from dirt and dust. Charge if necessary. An exception to this rule are only models designed for freight vehicles. Such products may be fully serviced, but some models for this type of transport are produced using SMF technology, that is, completely unattended.

Charge the batteries of this company should, like other acid batteries. To effectively replenish the supply of electricity, it is enough to charge the battery with a current equal to 10% of the nominal battery capacity at a voltage of 14.4 volts. Such an operation should be carried out for no more than 10 hours in a row.

How to find out the release date and decrypt the code

In the manufacture of the battery, a special code is applied to its cover, according to which you can set the release date of the battery. It is very easy to decrypt such a code if you know the principle of encoding information. The marking of Rocket batteries is decrypted as follows:

1. The first two letters are manufacturer (KS - Changwon; KJ - Kwangju)
2. The next figure can determine the year of manufacture (7 - 2017, 8 - 2018, 9-2019, etc.)
3. The next letter indicates the month (A-January, B-February, St. March, etc.)
4. The last two digits are the day of the month.

Thus, it is possible to determine the exact date of manufacture of the battery. For example, the code KS9A01 indicates that the battery was manufactured on January 1, 2019.

Reviews

Nikolai, Krasnodar

I bought a new Rocket battery for my old BMW, so he had not worked for two years. I do not advise anyone to acquire such muck.

Ivan Orenburg

A great battery, but in winter you often have to recharge from a mains charger. 2 years have passed since the purchase, but so far there have been no serious problems with battery performance.

Alexander Oryol

The full-time Rocket on the Hyundai Tucson worked for more than 6 years, but the battery of the same company, purchased independently, hardly lasted only 3 years.
