The TOP-10 includes the best batteries for cars for 2018-2019, which were selected on the basis of tests for the battery and owner reviews.
10. Deka | Price from 12 thousand rubles
Series ruler Deka opens the top ten best batteries. When testing the batteries, they showed themselves on the good side - they are able to withstand a deep discharge and at the same time give enough power to start the engine. To cope with this task, manufacturers use only high-quality lead for alloy plates.
The calcium and AGM technologies used in the production also increase the performance of the batteries in this line. The disadvantages of Deka include the overpriced price of devices, the cost of which starts from 12 thousand rubles. For charging, it is recommended to use only a professional battery charger for batteries, which is used by many modern auto repair shops.
Banner - The best option for reliability, but not the cheapest. The use of innovative technology of full calcium allows you to start with a deep discharge of the battery. Banner, with excellent power, can ensure the smooth operation of cars with very high energy requirements. Also, the Austrian product, according to testing results, showed good stability with respect to temperature up to minus 30 degrees, which ensures a cold start of the engine.
The quality of the Banner is confirmed by the fact that many German auto industries install batteries of this brand on cars. The average cost of the device is 4 thousand rubles.
8. Exide | Price 5 thousand rubles
Line of Exide represented by good batteries with better capacity. The batteries are designed for cars with high energy consumption. They have more power, in contrast to analogues by 30%, and have increased operational characteristics. According to manufacturers Exide, their batteries have high starting power and stability in all weather conditions.
But as the test results showed, the battery did not start the engine at a temperature of minus 30 degrees. The cost of these chargers is 5 thousand rubles and above.
7. Optima | Price 14 thousand rubles
Optima - The best batteries from an American manufacturer. In harsh winter conditions, you can count on starting the engine the first time, thanks to the very high starting current of the Optima Batteries. These batteries also differ in a peculiar spiral arrangement, which ensures a lower self-discharge rate, as well as minimal wear with frequent repetition of recharge cycles. The Optima Batteries are manufactured using AGM technology: a glass cloth separator is impregnated with electrolyte, which makes the device protected from deterioration of electrical parameters.
Also, as a result of testing, it was found that these batteries are quite durable and resistant to mechanical stress - in the event of an accident of moderate severity, with a partial destruction of the body, the engine can start. Battery data is completely maintenance free. The disadvantages of this product line include its overpriced - 14 thousand rubles.
6. Vortex | Price 3,5 thousand rubles
Vortex - one of the best batteries for cars according to testing results for 2018-2019. The device has high current characteristics and behaves well at low temperatures, ensuring engine start. It is recommended for cars requiring high power. Even in the event of a deep discharge, the battery can be restored. The battery is reliably protected from external sources of sparking, thanks to the filter system “flame arresters”, which are built into the cover. Vortex fully justifies its price and is in the middle price category - 3.5 thousand rubles.
5. Aktex | The price of 2.7 thousand rubles
Aktex is the best budget option and at the same time with high performance characteristics. The product is manufactured using a hybrid technology using calcium and antimony. This makes the battery more resistant to deep discharge at low temperatures. In addition, calcium negative plates minimize self-discharge. In terms of “reserve capacity” Aktex are the absolute leaders among analogues. However, at a temperature of -30 degrees, the battery does not guarantee engine start. The price of such an aggregate is about 2.7 thousand rubles.
4. Tudor | The price is 3-3.5 thousand rubles
Tudor - one of the most sought-after batteries in the Russian market, due to high performance indicators. In the manufacture of car chargers, the company uses special MET technology, which consists in adding calcium to the battery plate by stretching, which provides better plate strength. Due to this, the battery is less susceptible to corrosion and shedding, which means it will last longer.
Also, thanks to this technology, the plates gain better starting power and the engine starts at temperatures below 30 degrees. On average, these batteries are capable of operating for up to 4-5 years. This is the best choice in terms of price and quality. The average cost of Tudor is 3-3.5 thousand rubles.
3. Topla | Price 5 thousand rubles
Topla one of the three best batteries for cars. They are very popular in the Russian market and have proven themselves due to their reliability, quality and durability. These batteries are produced using Ca / Ca technology, which extends the life of the device and improves the electrical performance of the device. Topla is distinguished not only by durability, but also by starting characteristics in severe winter conditions. The average cost of such a battery is 5 thousand rubles.
2. Varta | The price is 7-12 thousand rubles
Varta considered one of the recognized leaders among other car batteries. The high-capacity battery provides reliable engine start even at a temperature of minus 30 degrees. The patented Power Frame grid technology is responsible for the durability and high corrosion resistance of the device. Varta has better performance than its counterparts. In addition, these batteries are more environmentally friendly and provide about 20% less greenhouse gas emissions.
Thanks to the sponge filter, which acts as a flame cutter, the possibility of ignition by a random spark is excluded. The service life is on average 5-7 years, and the cost ranges from 7-12 thousand rubles.
1. Bosch | Price from 7 thousand rubles
Bosch Becomes the leader in the ranking of the best batteries 2018-2019 for cars. The battery with increased capacity and reduced self-discharge rate has high performance characteristics. The battery allows starting at temperatures up to minus 30 degrees. In the case of deep discharge, the battery is capable of recovery. Manufacturers of the product also took care of the environment, providing a reduced level of evaporation of the electrolyte.
The disadvantage of this device is the rapid damage when working as part of an electrical network with imperfect characteristics, for example, with a faulty generator. It is also worth noting that the Bosch series batteries are far from the cheapest, their cost starts from 7 thousand rubles and above.
