It’s not hard to understand why KOBA is such a popular choice among auto electricians, battery resellers and parts distributors. The homegrown battery brand is a trusted name in the parts aftermarket industry in New Zealand with nearly 15 years of experience. The KOBA product range covers all major applications with only 40-part numbers making it easier for businesses to service customers with diverse power requirements with a single brand. There are even more reasons to choose KOBA.
KOBA batteries are designed to provide reliable performance and an extended service life in a wide range of applications including automotive, commercial, leisure, marine and industrial. They are manufactured in South Korea at one of the region’s most experienced battery manufacturing facilities. South Korea is well regarded for its advanced manufacturing capabilities due to its highly skilled workforce, world-class infrastructure, advanced technology and industry leading research and development.
KOBA automotive batteries are an excellent choice for modern vehicles with Idle Stop Start (ISS) technology and regenerative braking. Vehicles equipped with Stop-Start systems can automatically shut down and restart the internal combustion engine. This not only reduces the amount of time the engine spends idling but also reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Many modern vehicles seen on the road today are powered by ISS technology. KOBA Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are made for this very purpose. These batteries have high durability, charge acceptance and cycle life, and offer excellent starting power which is important for modern Battery Management Systems. KOBA AGM batteries are also resistant to vibration due to their compressed internal construction.
The automotive range also includes Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) and calcium batteries. Regarded as a mid-range option between AGM and calcium batteries, KOBA EFB batteries can also power many Stop-Start systems. They can deliver up to two times the battery life compared to a calcium battery when fitted in a standard vehicle, and have a higher charge acceptance.
For those seeking a powerful starting battery for marine vehicles, the KOBA Marine range of batteries are a suitable choice. These batteries are available in a range of popular case sizes from 560 CCA to 800 CCA to cover a wide spectrum of makes and models in the market.
The KOBA Deep Cycle HD Plus range of batteries are specifically designed for marine, RV, 4WDs and other heavy vehicles where vibration resistance is paramount. KOBA Deep Cycle HD Plus batteries provide high endurance making them suitable for varying terrains and environments across New Zealand. These batteries are also ideal for applications used seasonally such as boats, caravans and campers due to their minimal self-discharging properties.
For those in search of an all-rounder battery instead of an application-specific battery, the KOBA Dual Purpose Deep Cycle range of batteries feature everything expected from a good and dependable battery. The key features of KOBA Deep Cycle batteries include cycling and starting capabilities, making them a suitable choice for a variety of marine and recreational applications.
The complete range of KOBA automotive, commercial, leisure, marine and industrial batteries are available exclusively at R&J Batteries. R&J Batteries is a leading battery distributor with branches in Wiri, Christchurch, Hamilton, Albany, Nelson and a vast network of stockists throughout the nation.
