« DO YOU HAVE MORE POWERFUL...LIKE 1000 AMPS? »

We often hear this question in the store. Many companies during the years have made lots of noise in order to promote the super powerful automobile batteries of 1000 CA (cranking Amps) or known as « one thousand amperes. »

THE FORMAT

The 1000 amperes batteries are found in a battery format of (GR 78/34) which normally has about 850 CA.

THE DESIGN

In order to get more amperes, lead separators must be added to the battery. In order to be able to fit in more separators in the same battery format, we must unfortunately thin out the separators.

FRAGILITY

The battery is in fact more powerful, but unfortunately in return, more fragile due to the fact that the separators are very close from one another. A strong vibration, like one of a motor, may in the long run damage the separators due to their thinness. »

In general, the more the battery is tiny and powerful, the more it is fragile to vibrations. In fact, rare are the vehicles that require such power to start up, even in the winter time!
