Better fuel economy, greater comfort, improved safety
Battery range for all applications
Official legislation for reduced CO2 emissions and specific requirements for safety-critical systems both demand constant monitoring of the energy supply to a wide range of mechatronic and electronic loads to ensure efficiency is maintained. Micro-hybrid vehicles fitted with Start/Stop and coasting functions require smart energy management to guarantee reliable and stable operation of the vehicle electric system. This includes regulating the power flow of the generator, the electric loads, the energy storage system and the transducer that ensure the starting ability and availability of vehicle functions. Aspects such as energy-saving operation and comfort are important in this context.
Ensuring the stability of the power supply to all mechatronic components and electric loads demands a balancing of energy consumption and power resources within the energy equalisation system.
Quality, durability and reliability sum up the HELLA range of automotive and commercial batteries. The HELLA range is built to the very highest specification to cope with today’s automotive electrical demands.
We have combined quality and affordability in a battery brand you can trust.
HELLA batteries provide extended life cycle through the Grid Protection Technology. Cutting-edge materials ensure the technology protects the grid until the end of the battery life and improves the battery performance. Ultra Micro-Fibres and special tissues increase plate durability by reducing the aging rate of active materials. The enveloped separators ensure for low electric resistance and each battery has an integrated computer design and reinforced container.
Compared to conventional batteries with expanded metal grids, HELLA batteries deliver longer life and stable power flow. They offer excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical performance as well as preventing grid growth and short circuits.
HELLA batteries are built to the very highest specification to cope with today’s automotive electrical demands. With three tiers the HELLA automotive range now has a battery to suit every application and budget whilst providing premium quality at a competitive price.
What is AGM?
The HELLA AGM battery features even higher cyclic stability and recharges more quickly than conventional leadacid batteries. These characteristics are essential, especially when it comes to advanced systems which employ regenerative braking and other fuel-saving technologies.
AGM battery technology has been around for over 30 years but is now the most popular battery for vehicle manufacturers since the advent of Start/Stop engines, they are also used for applications such as Marine, RV, Solar, Audio, Power Sports and Stand-By Power.
The use of AGM will be the fastest growing replacement battery in the future as the OE car manufacturers are already using in over 70% of new builds with this number predicted to rise to 92% by 2020. Since the introduction in 2004 of stop start engines, the growth is unprecedented . The replacement markets will follow and the SLI (starting, lighting, ignition) battery will continue to shrink. Specialist intelligent chargers are also available now alongside the equipment to test and safely replace this type of battery.
Whatever the application, HELLA commercial vehicle batteries are built specifically to power fleets. From trucks to vans, long distance coaches, buses, fire engines, combine harvesters and construction vehicles; our unrivalled range will help get the job done with less downtime which in turn reduces costs.
The HELLA flooded leisure and marine range perfectly fits the bill if you want a well built, quality battery to suit your leisure or marine application.
