Hoppecke Batteries:

The greater a manufacture’s sense of responsibility the better the product.  Such high quality of batteries makes purchases rely on our products, and only then do customers stay with Hoppecke.

The German Technical Know How used in our batteries makes International Storage Battery Co. comply with the most important standards like DIN (German), IEC (International) and JIS (Japan).

International Storage Battery Co. has a high potential production capacity, assuring however the flexibility and reaction capability  necessary to meet and adapt the permanent changing conditions of today’s & tomorrow’s market demands.

Hoppecke provide a wide range of automotive batteries, capable of satisfying most European and Japanese vehicles.

All batteries are manufactured according to German Technical know How and comply with the most important standards like DIN, JIS, IEC.

The use of lead alloy grids with low Antimony content and Selenium reduces considerably the level of self discharge thus assuring low water consumption, in perfect accordance with exciting standards of “maintenance free” batteries.

The use of strongly welded, polypropylene containers, provides proof against leakage of electrolyte.

Furthermore, firmly secure plate assembly provides a mechanical strength, which exceeds the standards that are specified for any vehicle applications.  All raw materials are of very high quality and are supplied by the world’s largest and most reputable manufacturers.

A further asset to the manufacturing company is the achievement of the ISO 9002 certificate, which enables us to continuously build on its quality system.

 

Handling Instructions :

 

 

Storage :

Store unfilled charged batteries in cool, dry conditions to ensure full starting power over several years.

Preparation :

               

- The batteries are filled with sulfuric acid with a density 1.23 to 1.28 kg/1 depending on the region.  

- The batteries are filled up to the electrolyte maximum made or about 5 mm above the top of the separators.  

- After 20 minutes acid density is checked and top up of electrolytes is added if necessary.

- Any drops or splashes should be wiped off.  

- Finally, vent plugs are screwed on, and the battery is now ready for installation.  

Recharging :

- The battery may be charged only D.C. current.  

- The recommended charging current is 1/10 of the battery capacity.

- When acid density and charging voltage increase no further during a period of 2 hour, then the battery is fully charged.  

Maintenance :

- The state of charge can be checked by electrolyte density measurement.  

- If it is less than 0.05 kg/1 of the initial electrolyte density then the battery requires charging.  

- Maintenance free batteries do not need topping up with water under normal conditions provided that the battery electrolyte and water used is of low impurities.  However, when vehicles travel for long distances with defective electrical equipment or under extreme temperature conditions, topping up maybe necessary even for maintenance free batteries.
