The local action of conventional
lead-antimony batteries, due to the effects of the antimony
ions during battery use, electrolyzes battery fluid
(electrolytes) into oxygen and hydrogen to deplete the
battery of fluid. In such conventional batteries, users
need to replenish the battery with distilled water or
risk the deterioration of battery performance and life
Delkor batteries, however, use a special alloy calcium-lead,
which leads to extremely low levels of fluid loss. Hence,.
as long as the charging system of |
| the car remains error-free throughout
the life of the battery, there is no need to supplement
the battery with distilled water. |

The phenomenon of self-discharge
causes lead-acid batteries to consume charged power,
even when the battery is not in use (i.e. during storage).
This is due to the impurities contained in the lead
alloy, which induces local action and, thus, consumption
of electrical energy. Delkor batteries, on the other
hand, uses highly-refined, hand-selected lead alloys
that render extremely low rates of self-discharge and
maintains high battery performance even after long periods
of disuse. |

Car batteries can be charged even when
the car is in motion. In general, the charged current
is adjusted to high or low levels by the voltage regulator.
Given the preset voltage in the voltage regulator (14.5V),
when a battery is nearly charged to full, the charged
current must be reduced to prevent overcharging, which
can diminish battery performance. As shown on the graph,
the charged current of Delkor calcium batteries are
reduced to an extremely low level when the battery is
nearly charged to full, thereby minimizing (almost eliminating)
the risk of overcharging. |
|
 |
When using the nearly fully
charged battery in high temperatures (approximately
70 degrees Celsius), the charged current must be decreased
to prevent overcharging and subsequent battery damage.
However, in lead-acid batteries, due to the contents
of the grid alloy, the charging current decreases during
the initial stage, but increases soon thereafter, leading
to damages to the gird and deteriorated performance.
However, Delkor batteries do not contain such substances
and thus, the charged current remains at extremely low
levels when the nearly fully charged battery is used
in high temperatures to prevent overcharging. |
