Belarusian battery manufacturer 1AK is finalizing preparations for the launch of mass production of starter AGM batteries. According to the company, product testing has been carried out for a year, and the company is almost ready for large-scale production, which will begin in August-September.
AGM technology (Absorbent Glass Mat) differs from traditional lead-acid batteries in the use of a fiberglass separator that holds the electrolyte in a bound state. This increases the batteries' resistance to vibration, increases their service life and allows them to be used in modern cars with start-stop systems and energy recuperation.
1AK already supplies batteries to the Russian market (brands "ZUBR", "Thomas", "ENRUN", etc.), the new line of AGM batteries may strengthen the company's position in the segment of premium solutions for the automotive industry.
