In order to easily start the car even in the most severe frost, you must always keep the battery in a charged state. It is also recommended to purchase a modern battery that has minimal self-discharge and increased capacity. Yamal batteries belong to this category of products. About what are the batteries produced under this brand, as well as how to care for and charge such a product will be described later.

Battery manufacturer Yamal
The production of Yamal batteries is carried out in the Tyumen region at the Alcor plant. For more than twenty years of the enterprise’s work, experience has been accumulated that allows minimizing the likelihood of defective products.
The batteries from this manufacturer are fully adapted to Russian operating conditions, so they can be used without restrictions in areas where the air temperature in the winter can drop to minus 50 degrees Celsius.
The official website of the Alcor company is located at: https://www.alkor-tmn.ru.
Where are Yamal batteries used?
Yamal batteries are used to start internal combustion engines. The manufacturer positions these batteries as resistant to cold and deep discharge, which allows them to be used in regions where temperatures are constantly low. If the engine and generator are in good condition, the battery will be able to restore charge in a minimum period.
Depending on the capacity of the batteries, they are used for trucks or cars. Also, batteries manufactured under this brand can be used for installation on special equipment and stationary installations using internal combustion engines as the main power unit.
Applied technologies and their features
A high degree of automation of production can significantly reduce the price of the finished product. At the same time, the quality of the products will be at a very high level, because the correct sequence of actions worked out to the smallest detail minimizes the likelihood of production of products, the performance indicators of which differ significantly from the bulk of the battery.
Currently, Yamal starter batteries are manufactured using hybrid technology. This means that one of the electrodes of the battery is made from lead doped with calcium, and the second using antimony technology. This production technology can significantly increase the strength of the plates, reduce the evaporation of water from the electrolyte, reduce self-discharge and increase resistance to deep discharges.
Hybrid batteries they tolerate deep discharges much better than calcium ones, while in comparison with antimony they have lower self-discharge.
Technical specifications
The main parameters of the battery are:
- Capacity. It is selected depending on engine displacement;
- Starting current. The higher it is, the easier it will be to start in the winter and the battery will pull more electrical equipment;
- Type of terminals. Standard (European) or ASIA (for Asian cars);
- Polarity. Direct or reverse;
- Dimensions The battery should fit in a special area in the engine compartment.
All products of the company can be divided into batteries designed for installation on passenger cars, as well as powerful batteries for trucks.
Passenger batteries
The following Yamal battery models are used for installation on passenger cars:
| Type of | Capacity, Ah | Starting current, A | Sizes, mm | Weight, kg | Polarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 65B24R / L | 55 | 480 | 237x128x222 | 14.1 | 0 and 1 |
| 6ST-60 | 60 | 530 | 242x175x190 | 15.3 | 0 and 1 |
| 6ST-62 | 62 | 560 | 242x175x190 | 15.7 | 0 and 1 |
| 6ST-64 | 64 | 620 | 242x175x190 | 16.2 | 0 and 1 |
| 6ST-70 | 70 | 630 | 242x175x190 | 16.9 | 0 and 1 |
| 6ST-95 | 95 | 750 | 326x175x208 | 25.2 | 0 and 1 |
| 6ST-100 | 100 | 780 | 326x175x208 | 27 | 0 and 1 |
The battery has a 65B24R / L terminal type ASIA.

Cargo batteries
Models for trucks and special equipment.
| Type of | Capacity, Ah | Starting current, A | Sizes, mm | Weight, kg | Polarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6ST-132 | 132 | 910 | 513x189x236 | 38 | 4 |
| 6ST-185 | 185 | 1250 | 513x189x236 | 48.5 | 3 and 4 |
| 6ST-190 | 190 | 1350 | 518x228x238 | 51.2 | 3 and 4 |
| 6ST-220 | 220 | 1500 | 518x228x238 | 53.5 | 4 |
The most powerful cargo batteries have a large mass and size and are installed on diesel tractors and special equipment. For the convenience of connecting such batteries, a one-way terminal arrangement is used.
Service and Charging
Yamal batteries are low-maintenance, so from time to time you will have to monitor the level of electrolyte and, if necessary, open the lids on the cans and add distilled water to each. It is also recommended to wipe the case from moisture and dirt. Make sure that you don’t the terminals were oxidized.
It is recommended to charge the batteries of this manufacturer with current, which should be equal to 10% of the product’s capacity. That is, if the capacity is 70 Ah, then we set the current to 7 amperes. Voltage 14.4 V. The duration of the connection of the charger to the battery should be about 10 hours.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
To select a battery whose shelf life has not yet expired, you must be able to correctly decipher the markings applied by the manufacturer on the body of the product. The date of manufacture of Yamal batteries is indicated in the form of a six-digit code. By the first two digits you can find the serial number of the month in which the battery was produced, by the next four - determine the year of manufacture.
For example, the six-digit code 012019 indicates that the battery was manufactured in January 2019.

Reviews
Michael, Norilsk
In our country, Tyumen batteries are the best. The Yamal battery is not inferior to other samples from this manufacturer in terms of endurance and discharge current strength, as well as other characteristics.
Leonid, Kostroma
I like Yamal batteries because you can pick up almost any model in size and polarity.
Dmitry, Adler
The Yamal battery came from the previous owner of the car as a bonus. I don’t know how long he worked before, but he has been working for more than 2 years without complaints.
