Is the battery serviceable or not?

My native acc died last year, after in the early cold spring I left the dimensions on all night. It somehow made it through the summer, but in the winter it became clear that it needed to be changed. Four years is not a long time for a native battery, if you read the reviews of locals who have had it almost since 2006, but what can you do - apparently the night was enough for the dimensions, and maybe the batteries began to perform worse in 2012...

In general, last year I decided not to spend a lot on a battery and buy a Gigawatt 65A/h for something like 3,000 rubles and a 2-year warranty. According to reviews, this is like a good acc, which is almost on the same line as Bosch and Varta.

As you have already noticed, it is not in the title, now it is at home, connected to a UPS instead of the original battery and powers the home computer, because... For the car it was enough for exactly a year. But the PC lasts for more than an hour, so now there is no fear of being left without electricity, although this happens quite rarely. )) (about the fact that a lead acc at home is bad - don’t read Soviet newspapers in the morning)

In general, this fall, I again faced the choice of a battery and, to be honest, I didn’t like having to face this choice once a year, so I started looking at the much-hyped Wartas and Boshis, because... running around with a hydrometer and adding something to the “Siberian” serviced batteries is not what I want to do.

The Boshis disappeared immediately, because... They don’t have their own production, most of it is done at Warta factories, but you can also end up with something of completely unknown origin. At least that’s what forum experts on the Internet write, but... I couldn’t find any other experts, so I trusted what I had.

Varta is probably a good battery, but just like Boshis, Kayabas and other Shells, I am wary of fakes in this matter. Reviews of varts are also found, very diverse. Therefore, I decided to look towards slightly less popular brands.

The history of the brand begins in 1945, when it decided to organize large-scale production of batteries for automotive vehicles. The first pilot samples of the battery were characterized by a low level of quality and were significantly inferior to popular options, but the company relied on the low cost of products.

After the end of the Second World War, when the era of popularization of road transport in Europe and Central Asia began, the Mutlu company reconsidered its views and completely replaced its product range with improved models. In the period from 1991 to the present day, the manufacturing company, with enviable popularity, has received international quality certificates and large contracts with many automobile brands.

Mutlu batteries today provide an example of reliability that will not let the owner down even in difficult times, thanks to a large number of product features.

The main advantages of Mutlu batteries: briefly about the main things

Turkish batteries are produced using calcium technology using purified electrolytes, which provides the battery with a wide range of advantages, namely:

• Low self-discharge - the use of thinner plates makes it possible to install a larger number of them, thanks to which, with standard case sizes, the manufacturer was able to increase the battery capacity and prevent the possibility of self-discharge;
• Long service life - the manufacturing company provides a guarantee of up to 4 years for the entire range of products;
• Easy to maintain - Mutlu batteries do not require special care or storage rules. The batteries can easily withstand short-term frosts, which eliminates the need for daily removal of the battery from the car in cold weather;
• Stable operation – manufacturing the battery using calcium technology, as well as installing a larger number of electrolyte plates, guarantees stable power and prevents dynamic current surges;
• Reliability of assembly - the body of the unit is made of durable plastic, which is additionally reinforced in places prone to falls, which eliminates the possibility of liquid leakage in the event of a sudden drop of the battery.

Correct operation of the MUTLU car battery

We all know that almost any system of a modern car requires electricity for its operation, which is generated by the generator and accumulated in the battery. With such intensive use, the battery quickly exhausts its resource. You can extend the life of your battery by using it properly. For several years now, inexpensive, very reliable and convenient Multu batteries have been particularly popular in Russia. So - you bought a new MUTLU car battery. Do not rush to install a newly purchased battery into your car. The battery must be fully charged first. You can do this yourself using a charger. You can take the battery to a car service for charging. It is especially difficult for the battery when starting the engine in frosty weather. To make the engine crankshaft rotate more easily, fill the engine with winter synthetic-based motor oils. Before starting the engine in severe frost, we recommend turning on the headlights for a few minutes. Due to the flow of current through the battery, the electrolyte will heat up, which will slightly increase the battery capacity in starter mode. Usually the engine starts the second or third time; if the engine does not start, contact a car service center. During the daytime, do not forget to turn off the headlights when stopping the car for long periods of time. Before starting the engine, check that all electrical equipment is turned off. If the battery is periodically discharged, measure the voltage at the battery terminals with the engine running. If the indicated voltage is different from fourteen volts, check the tension of the belt driving the generator. In all other cases, contact a car service center. To prevent battery terminals from oxidizing, coat them with a layer of grease. One of the most common malfunctions is oxidation of the battery contact pins. In this case, when the starter is turned on, all electrical equipment is turned off. When driving regularly around the city, the battery is not fully charged. Therefore, it must be fully charged from an external rectifier from time to time. To increase battery life, it should always be kept in a fully charged state.

Due to the high quality of battery assembly and the popularity of the brand, Mutlu products are often replaced by unscrupulous sellers with low-quality counterfeit products. To prevent the possibility of purchasing a low-quality or non-original Mutlu battery, you need to remember that:

• All batteries are supplied in a box made of durable cardboard with high-quality airbrushing. Each package is marked with certification data, a quality hologram and a batch number of the production batch;
• Inside the product packaging, the battery is additionally wrapped in a protective layer of corrugated cardboard or soft paper. Also, in addition to the battery, the kit includes a warranty agreement and quality certificates of the current sample;
• There is an identification number on the body of each battery, which allows you to check the authenticity of the product on the manufacturer’s website. Often the number can be replaced with company registration data, which also allows you to check the battery.

To avoid purchasing counterfeit Mutlu batteries, try not to buy products from uncertified sellers - always ask to see a license to sell battery products.

Owner reviews: is it worth purchasing Mutlu batteries?

After receiving the first international quality certificate, the demand for Mutlu’s products went up, which ensured the high popularity of the battery, in particular in the Russian market:

Alexey, Samara: “I installed a Mutlu battery 2 years ago before winter and since then I couldn’t be happier. The battery easily withstands temperature changes and does not suffer from self-discharge. Mutlu battery - the confidence that every motorist needs";

Oksana, Rostov-on-Don: “My husband installed a Mutlu battery in the car before replacing the audio system to avoid voltage sags. To my surprise, I can assure you that the battery can easily withstand even a powerful subwoofer, without allowing voltage drops”;

Kirill, Moscow region: “Mutlu batteries are pleased with the protection against self-discharge and high capacity. The batteries of this brand have an optimal price-quality ratio, I recommend it!”

Inexpensive and popular in our country, Mutlu batteries are known for their reliability, durability, affordable price and wide range of products. They also have a fairly long shelf life - with proper use, the battery can last 5-6 years without any problems.

Reviews

Vlad Served for six years. We traveled often, both in summer and winter, and it almost never stopped without rest. Of course, they didn’t take much risk; at minus 30, for example, they warmed up the car. But still - in all these years there has not been a single failure. Great battery!

Anton Reasonable price, reliable battery. I drive actively, and in two years I have never let me down.

Slava Very reliable. Excellent for frosty winters and for Russian cars, holds a charge well. I didn’t have to charge it all winter, and I didn’t even bring it home in cold weather.

Did you have or do you have a Mutlu ? Then tell us in the comments about your impressions of it, this will greatly help other car enthusiasts and make the material more complete and accurate.

Autumn is the time to think about whether your battery will last through the winter or whether it should be replaced; BOSH didn’t make me think long. He worked for 3 years and 2 months.

In the morning I had to open the trunk through the cabin, it’s good that I had the strength to open the alarm. We lit a cigarette. In the evening I had to light a cigarette again and put it on charge. The evening trip to Podolsk was the last straw of patience. In the parking lot I met a red GTC and the battery froze, this was the reason for replacement.

I'm tired of this topic of constantly climbing into the trunk and lighting a cigarette.

After looking at the reviews and relying on my own experience and knowledge, I decided to choose between BOSH and Varta. But already in the auto supermarket I came across MUTLU, a proven brand on my first car. Without hesitation, I choose the best one from what is available and take MUTLU SFB Flooded Battery Technology

– New generation battery technology with liquid electrolyte. This series of batteries is designed for vehicles with high energy consumption and maximum equipment. This type of battery has 25% increased performance compared to conventional batteries, vibration resistance, patented Ca-Ca lattice technology with added silver, a safe, fully enclosed lid and maintenance-free design, higher durability and efficiency in harsh climates and industrial conditions compared with regular batteries.

It's also time for an oil change. A hackneyed question, I tried Mobil, Lukoil and decided to return to the roots, bought GM 5w30 dexos2 with CF and Lynx filters.

Last oil change Lukoil Genesis Armortech 5w30

I was not pleased from the very beginning of operation, in my opinion the engine began to run louder and ultimately, after driving it for about 9,500 km, as an autopsy showed, the oil filter began to collapse. Lukoil - this is my value judgment, full G, suitable for unpretentious cans.

After the replacement, there were no significant changes, the engine noise decreased slightly and I hope that the surviving horses will feel better under the hood. Definitely, each car needs its own approach, even if it is a new basin or an old foreign car, they are capricious like women and require attention.

There is work to be done on the exhaust system and the choice of new winter tires r17. Good luck to everyone on the roads!

Manufacturer Mutlu

Mutlu battery manufacturer Mutlu Akyu is one of the most popular Turkish manufacturers in the industry. Founded in 1945 as a trading company, ten years later it produced its first battery. The modern production takes place in Tuzla and is a world class facility. Among similar enterprises in the region it occupies a leading position.

Today, Mutlu Akyu is a large global holding company, which includes enterprises in industries related to the production of batteries. The holding, in turn, is part of the Metair Grubu group in order to have greater influence on the international market and be successful in other countries.

Story

In 1945, a certain Kemil Tüker founded the Mutlu company. And for 10 years he was regularly engaged in the export of batteries. And in 1955, the company mastered their production on its premises (they were located in the city of Kartal).

By 1996, Mutla decided to increase production capacity and changed her “registration”, moving to Tuzla (province of Istanbul). At the new site, the company quickly mastered the production of calcium-calcium (Ca-Ca) batteries, closed-type stationary batteries. In 2006, Mutla received a license to recycle used batteries.

Now the plant produces more than 6 million batteries per year. This is the highest result among similar enterprises not only in Turkey, but also in the Middle East.

Applied technologies and their features

The main technologies used in the production of these batteries:

1. Silver-calcium alloy technology. Adding calcium increases equipment life and reduces fluid consumption. Silver reduces corrosion and increases resistance to high temperatures. As a result, the battery is extremely strong and durable.
2. Expanded metal technology (Ex-Met). This method makes it possible to produce gratings using rolling and cutting rather than traditional casting. This type of grating is stronger than the traditional one.
3. Continuous casting (Con-Cast). Reduces the number of deviations in production, strengthens the internal structure of negative grids. This method makes it possible to produce grids even for heavy-duty batteries.
4. AGM technology. In batteries produced using this technology, the electrolyte is not in liquid, but in adsorbed form, as an impregnation for a special material. This enhances its adhesion to the work surface, eliminates spillage and reduces evaporation.
5. Drilling method (Punch). The gratings are produced in the form of a tape, the holes on which are made by drilling. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to produce special designs of gratings and enhance their contact with the active mass.

Continuous investment in the development of new technologies contributes to the improvement of production, year after year.

Technologies

In the production of batteries, Mutla uses the following technologies:

• Silver-calcium alloy. By adding silver, the manufacturer solves the problem of grating corrosion.
• Continuous casting. Negative electrodes are manufactured using this technology (CON-CAST), which provides them with a strong internal structure, allowing them to be installed in super-power batteries.
• Expanded metal sheet. The plant mastered this method of manufacturing grids (positive and negative) back in 1999. They are installed in standard aftermarket starter batteries. The essence of the technology is to give lead the appearance of a tape, applying a perforation to it and then stretching it.
• Drilling. This method involves making a grid by drilling. It is rarely used, since such electrodes are installed only on some special types of batteries.
• Mutla specialists did not ignore advanced technologies - EFB and AGM.

How to charge Mutlu batteries

Regardless of the technology used, any battery sometimes needs to be charged. Most Mutlu batteries are equipped with a charge indicator that will tell you when it's time to charge. If this is not the case, then you can check with a multimeter; if the value is less than 12 volts, then the battery can be considered severely discharged.

If the battery is serviceable, then you need to open the plugs and add water if necessary. Do not tighten the plugs until charging is complete!

Charging is carried out with a special charger, which is first connected to the battery, observing polarity, and then to the network. The current should be no more than 1/10 of the battery capacity. That is, if the battery capacity is 55 A, then the current must be set to 5 Amperes or less.

A battery with an opening lid is considered charged when the electrolyte density in all cells reaches 1.280 g/cm 3 at 20-35 degrees. After this, the battery is disconnected from the network. After half an hour, you can add water to it and start using it. Maintenance-free batteries are charged strictly at the recommended voltage.

Important! You cannot charge batteries that have just been brought in from the cold. They need to sit at room temperature first to warm up.

How to find out the release date and decrypt the code

The production date of a battery of this brand is marked with a laser on the upper part of the case. The marking includes six numbers. The first indicates the line number, the second - the year, the third and fourth - the month, the fifth and sixth - the day.
