| Heavy Duty Batteries |
|
We can supply batteries for cars, motorcycles and scooters, quads, jet skis, light commercial vehicles, heavy goods vehicles, agricultural vehicles, plant and industrial vehicles, golf buggies, leisure and mobility applications. All the batteries we supply are heavy duty and come with either a one, two or three year ‘no quibble’ warranty. We have many years of experience and extensive knowledge with batteries, we will ensure you are supplied with the correct battery for your vehicle. Our prices are extremely competitive, we keep a wide range of batteries in stock and we are the approved stockist of Numax and Varta batteries for the West Midlands area We stock and recommend Varta batteries as they are fitted as original equipment by all the leading car manufacturers, we also supply Numax and Lucas batteries which are also excellent quality products. We do not sell budget batteries as they are inferior in quality and unreliable. We offer a ‘free’ diagnostics check of your existing battery and if it only needs charging we will only give you honest advice. We will also carry out a FREE alternator test on request. We do offer a battery fitting service at a nominal cost.
Power, performance and reliability are the most important factors for determining the quality of a car battery – and VARTA is the benchmark for battery quality in the automotive industry. Our philosophy is to never compromise on quality, and this mantra has earned us the number one position as first choice supplier to the vehicle manufacturers. The VARTA battery package packs a powerful punch. Our adherence to the highest quality standards mean there is no room for compromise, and our technological expertise leads to continual innovation and improvement. This is why we can, again and again, offer the market products which guarantee improved power and reliability - products which further extend our lead over the competition. Which VARTA battery is right for you? Quality, reliability and durability sum up the Numax Premium range of automotive batteries. That is why the Numax Premium Silver range is the fastest growing automotive battery range in the market today. This is why you really can trust in Numax.
The range boasts:
Experience the power of Numax. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How can I start the car when the battery is flat? Two things are necessary - a second car and two jump leads for the positive and negative terminals. An electrical connection via jump leads from an SLI battery being charged by the running motor to the SLI battery of the car that won't start is normally the simplest solution. The start procedure is to be carried out in seven steps.
Note: please refer to the operating manual for your vehicle!
Jump Start Only use batteries with the same rated voltage Switch off both engines and all electrics (except the donor vehicle's hazard warning lights)
TERMINALS
The battery is connected to other assemblies by its terminals. These are mostly cone-shaped terminals conforming to the EN standard. The positive terminal is slightly thicker than the negative terminal so that the connections cannot be confused. Flat terminals (known as Ford terminals) are used less often. They have a stud hole so that a battery lug can be connected
Ampere hours [Ah]Product of the current strength (measured in amperes) and the duration (in hours) of the current. The quantity of electricity (capacity) of a battery or cell is usually expressed in ampere hours. Ah is the abbreviation. Ampere [A]Basic unit of electrical current strength. CapacityThe available quantity of electricity of a battery or cell measured in ampere hours. The capacity is dependent on the battery temperature and the discharging current. It is therefore important to state not just the capacity, but also the discharging current and temperature (e.g. cold-start capacity in seconds with cold-test current and -18°C). CellThe smallest unit of a battery, consisting of a positive and a negative electrode, a separator and the electrolyte. It stores electrical energy and forms the fundamental cornerstone of a battery if it is placed into a case and equipped with electrical connectors. The capacity of a cell is determined by its size. The cell voltage, however, depends on the electrochemical system of the elementCold CrankingCold cranking is the discharge current given by the manufacturer. It is emitted by a battery at a temperature of -18°C with a minimum voltage of Ui=7,5 volt for a period of 10 seconds, according to the EN specifications. Deep dischargeState in which a cell is fully discharged using low current, so that the voltage falls below the final discharging voltage. Maintenance-free gel battery with fixed electrolyteLead-acid battery in which the electrolyte is held in place in a gel or microglass mat (AGM). The battery is sealed and is equipped with valves. It is highly stable and exhibits good cycling characteristics.OverchargingCharging beyond the fully loaded stage. This can result in battery damage (loss of electrolyte). Operating Instruction The operating instructions for any battery are extremely important. Although the Varta operating instructions vary according to the battery type and model, there are similarities in the basic construction.
