Plummeting temperatures across New Zealand are putting increased pressure on batteries. A battery uses a chemical reaction to store and deliver energy. When the temperature drops, the speed of the chemical reaction becomes slower thus reducing the amount of power a battery can deliver. This strain is not only experienced by batteries which run on a daily basis but also those applications usually in storage around this time of the year such as lawn mowers. The ability of a battery to withstand and perform in extreme temperatures, both low and high, conveys a great deal about its quality and reliability. To get the maximum return on investment and value out of a battery for the longest possible time, use Koba batteries in your applications.
Koba batteries have been available in the New Zealand for over a decade and have gained a strong reputation for quality batteries. These batteries are manufactured in one of the most experienced calcium battery facilities in South Korea. 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 maintenance free calcium batteries are available in sizes to suit most automotive and commercial vehicles. These batteries are designed to provide safe, reliable starting power with improved durability and cycle life. Their low resistance envelope separators maximise health and help deliver excellent electrical performance. The durable and safe nature of these batteries make them an ideal choice for everyday automotive and commercial use.
Koba batteries’ range of Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries and Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern vehicles. Koba’s AGM battery range have an even higher durability and cycle life than the calcium battery range. These batteries have high charge acceptance and are able to deliver superior starting power, which is critical in Stop Start vehicles. Due to their compressed internal construction, these AGM batteries also have a much higher resistance to vibration when compared to flooded batteries.
The EFB range from Koba batteries are designed to deliver the power required for Stop Start vehicles. These EFB batteries are designed to deliver 2-3 times the battery life compared to standard calcium batteries in an ISS application and have very high charge acceptance so they can take advantage of fuel saving energy recuperation systems.
Koba Batteries are exclusively distributed by R&J Batteries in New Zealand. R&J Batteries is one of the leading battery distributors in New Zealand with branches in Wiri, Christchurch, Hamilton, Albany and stockists throughout North and South Islands, making Koba Batteries accessible to all.
