Trusted by both everyday users and professionals alike, Delkor is one of the best selling battery brands in the automotive aftermarket industry. They are part of the Clarios group, which globally manufactures over 150 million batteries every year and supplies batteries to leading automotive manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai and Kia. Delkor excels on the technology front too with the patented PowerFrame Grid Technology delivering the performance needed for modern vehicles.
Today’s vehicles have more power requirements than ever before. Modern vehicles are fitted with multiple power-hungry accessories which can put tremendous strain on batteries. Vehicles using Idle Stop Start (ISS) technology will shut off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, and then automatically re-start the engine when required to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. PowerFrame Grid Technology is a key feature which enables Delkor batteries to handle these requirements with ease.
PowerFrame grids are made by rolling lead alloy into strips which are then stamped into the grid shape. This process results in a stable frame which is up to three times more resistant to corrosion* to help avoid premature battery failure. The PowerFrame Grid Technology design is optimised for full grid utilisation, improving current flow by up to 60 percent* for improved conductivity. The manufacturing process of the grids is environmentally responsible as well, using 20 percent less energy and producing 20 percent fewer greenhouse gases than competitors’ manufacturing methods. Clarios has one of the world’s most successful examples of a circular economy with the mission to ensure all lead acid batteries are designed to be economically and responsibly recovered and re-purposed. Clarios were recognised by Ethisphere in 2023 and again in 2024 as one of the world’s most ethical companies.
Delkor’s award-winning automotive battery range features PowerFrame Grid Technology. All models in the Delkor AGM, EFB and Calcium ranges and selected models in the Premium Silver range are powered by this technology. The automotive range is well regarded for its quality, performance and durability. Delkor has won the prestigious Korean Standard Quality Excellence Index (KS-QEI) award for 17 consecutive years.
