Clarios, a world leader in advanced energy storage solutions, supplies one third of the world’s vehicle batteries. It supplies maintenance-free batteries to many of the leading automotive manufacturers such Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Kia and Hyundai. The company’s popular Delkor brand is well regarded for its range of high-quality batteries for automotive, commercial, deep cycle, marine, leisure and lawn applications. Delkor is the ideal choice for auto electricians, battery resellers and parts distributors seeking a comprehensive brand that covers a broad spectrum of applications to add to their product portfolio.
Delkor is an award-winning brand that has long been recognised for its range of high-quality automotive batteries. It has won the prestigious Korean Standard Quality Excellence Index (KS-QEI) award in the automotive battery category for 17 consecutive years since 2006. The award, which evaluates both consumer and expert satisfaction, is a testament to Delkor batteries’ quality, performance and reliability.
One of the many areas Clarios excels, is innovation. Throughout its nearly 140 years of existence, Clarios has demonstrated its commitment to continuous innovation. Its patented PowerFrame Grid technology provides superior and consistent starting performance with up to 60 percent better electrical flow than other grid technologies in the market. PowerFrame Grids are made by rolling metal into strips that are later stamped into a grid shape. This process results in a durable frame that helps batteries resist corrosion and provides strength to withstand the harshest of conditions. PowerFrame grids are manufactured in an environmentally responsible way using 20 percent less energy and producing 20 percent fewer greenhouse gases than other manufacturing methods.
The Delkor automotive range consists of Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM), Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB), Premium Silver and Calcium batteries all of which are powered by PowerFrame Grid technology. Delkor AGM batteries are a premium choice for modern and advanced fuel-efficient vehicles with high electrical demands such as those with Idle Stop Start (ISS) technology and regenerative braking. When used in Stop-Start systems, Delkor AGM batteries can last up to two times the life of standard batteries. They are also certified non-spillable which means they can be mounted in any orientation and any enclosed space such as the boot and in the cabin. They can also be fitted under the bonnet when the appropriate heatshields are in place.
For Stop-Start vehicles that do not require an AGM but still have high energy demands, Delkor EFB batteries are a suitable choice. A polyfleece scrim material that is added to the positive plate surface makes this possible. It also increases the battery’s endurance by stabilising the active material of the plates. Delkor EFB batteries are able to support a high number of engine starts and extended engine-off periods. Like AGM batteries, EFB batteries are also built to resist corrosion.
Delkor Commercial batteries have been specifically designed for trucks, buses and other heavy vehicles. Their primary purpose is to deliver long lasting power that allows commercial vehicles to operate reliably day in and day out. Delkor Commercial batteries are built with a high strength polypropylene case for increased durability, anchor-bonding across the plates and built-in spark arrestor for enhanced safety. They are also vibration resistant and maintenance-free which are much needed features in commercial batteries. With high durability and less down time, businesses will benefit from lower cost of ownership and increased productivity.
A major requirement of deep cycle batteries is the ability to withstand constant discharge and recharge cycles. Delkor Deep Cycle batteries deliver that and so much more. These batteries are designed with thicker plates and denser active material to resist repeated cycling. Delkor Deep Cycle batteries are also resistant to vibration and provide a maintenance-free experience making them suitable for caravans, campers, 4WDs and more.
For customers wanting to experience the ultimate marine adventure, Delkor Marine batteries offer reliability for greater peace of mind. Developed with thicker plates, these batteries offer steadfast power over a long period of time. Other features include high-strength polypropylene case for increased durability and heat-sealed covers with built-in arrestor for enhanced safety. They are vibration resistant allowing them to perform in all weather conditions. Delkor Marine batteries are also suitable for dual-power applications requiring both starting and cycling power.
Delkor Lawn and Garden batteries deliver superior power and performance to help keep lawns perfectly trimmed and maintained all year round. Developed with cutting-edge technology, these batteries stand up well against vibration, dirt, dust and grass in challenging climates and terrain conditions. They are also maintenance-free lending to a convenient experience.
