Tests are a great way to determine which car battery is the best for your vehicle. You will know exactly which model to go to the store for when it comes time to get a new car battery. To make life easier for motorists, the experts of the magazine "Za Rulem" published battery rating for car 2016-2017 years after comparing 6 models of imported and domestic car batteries.
The Behind the Wheel rating was compiled based on the following criteria:
- battery backup capacity;
- reduced starting energy by declared and uniform current;
- reduced energy of starting with a single current at very low temperature (minus 29ºC);
- charge acceptance at constant external voltage.
We offer see how the list has changed in comparison with 2014.
We present the winners and outsiders of the top 12 best batteries for cars in the winter of 2016-2017. The device prices are based on Yandex.Market statistics.
We recommend paying attention to rating of winter tires 2017-2018, which includes the best studded tires in the test.
12. Delkor
- Price - from 5700 rubles.
- Country of origin: not specified
- Capacity - 60 Ah.
- The declared current is 525 A.
This battery disappointed testers in almost every way. At temperatures below 29ºC, she ordered to live long. The declared current is the most modest when compared with other test participants.
11. SilverStar
- Price - from 3690 rubles.
- Country of origin: Russia
- Capacity - 65 Ah.
- Current - 610 A.
The words "Russian production" in this case are not at all a praise. The battery lasted 11 seconds in 29-degree frost. Poor price / quality ratio.
10. AKOM
- Price - from 4290 rubles.
- Country of origin: Russia
- Capacity - 62 A / h.
- The declared current is 540 A.
The unexpected death of the battery at -29 degrees deprived it of a chance to rise above the tenth position in the 2016 ranking of car batteries.
9. VARTA Blue Dynamic
- Price - from 4150 rubles.
- Country of origin: not specified
- Capacity - 60 A / h.
- Current - 540 A.
Although the battery passed the test, its unstable performance results forced the experts to place the test sample in the "far corner" of the rating. But in user reviews on various specialized sites, the battery was praised for its durability (lasts up to 7 years) and resistance to severe frosts (from -25 to -42ºC).
8. Mutlu Silver Evolution
- Price - from 4050 rubles.
- Country of origin: Turkey.
- Capacity - 63 A / h.
- Current - 550 A.
The price for this maintenance-free battery is overpriced, with average parameters. The testers gave this sample a solid C.
7. Bosch
- Price - from 5200 rubles.
- Country of origin: Germany.
- Capacity - 63 A / h.
- Current - 610 A.
Automotive products from a renowned brand took third place in terms of declared current and ninth in terms of "price and quality". This battery is calcium and, like its "colleagues", does not tolerate strong discharge. If you discharge it to zero a couple of times, then the capacity can decrease three times.
6. Titan Euro Silver
- Price - from 4620 rubles.
- Country of origin: Russia.
- Capacity - 61 A / h.
- Current - 620 A.
One of the best batteries in 2016. He has a good, and most importantly, a confirmed declared current. In the cold, it showed itself a little worse than the batteries, which were ranked from 5 to 1, but in general the testers were satisfied with it.
5. The Beast
- Price - from 4150 rubles.
- Country of origin: Russia.
- Capacity - 60 A / h.
- Current - 600 A.
The name did not deceive. This battery is truly a beast, powerful, unpretentious and can withstand heavy loads, be it a subwoofer, heated seats or rear window. It took the second place in terms of "price / quality", the third place in the single current and the fifth in all tests.
4. Tyumen bear
- Price - from 3700 rubles.
- Country of origin: Russia.
- Capacity - 62 A / h.
- The declared current is 560 A.
Another excellent Russian model in the 2017 battery rating, which took third place in terms of price-quality ratio. Among the advantages, in addition to the inexpensive price, there is also a long service life, as well as resistance to frost (one of the reviews said that the car with the "Bear" started up at 36 degrees below zero). Of the shortcomings, one of the users noted self-discharge, and the other - a bright design, since the intense yellow square in place of the "standard" dark battery looks unusual.
3. Exide Premium
- Price - from 4150 rubles.
- Country of origin: not specified.
- Capacity - 64 A / h.
- Current - 640 A.
The largest declared current and the second place in frost resistance (second only to the winner of the battery rating in 2016 and 2017). In other tests, the Exide Premium battery was also among the leaders.
2. Topla
- Price - from 4550 rubles.
- Country of origin: not specified.
- Capacity - 66 A / h.
- Current - 620 A.
Topla passed almost all tests for "silver", showing a slightly worse result in a frost of minus 29 degrees. The battery does not care about heat up to plus 60 degrees, as the manufacturer assures.
1. Tyumen Battery Premium
- Price - from 3930 rubles.
- Country of origin: Russia.
- Capacity - 64 A / h.
- Current - 590 A.
Excellent quality for a low price - this is about the winner of the battery hit parade. This battery is serviced, which allows you to monitor its performance and regulate it. With proper care, the battery will last up to 6-7 years. In the Behind the Wheel tests Tyumen Battery Premium showed the best results in all selection criteria. The only drawback is that it is not easy to find on sale, often only available by pre-order. Also due to the popularity of this car product, it is often counterfeited.
our domestic AKTEX stood on the tag, served for 8 years, in any frost without problems.
There are only forgeries around, these your varts, mutlu and boshi.
Now I often hear that Tyumen batteries have a lot of fakes, up to 80%. Orininals are generally praised, but they still need to be found, but not to be mistaken. For the fourth year I have been using a muddy of 60a / h, it does not freeze at -15, as they write here, and starts at -39 without heating.
Which served for 7 years, never charged
The sponsor of the competition was Tyumen Bear! )
Questionable test.
A \ m NIVA today replaced the VARTA C24 60 Ah BLUE DYNAMIC 540 launcher produced in C - Czech Republic - 6.5 years without problems in the tail and mane, in frost, in heat, in rain, diving - Charger charged twice after diving in ford (got wet from the spray by the fan, worked), the second - forgot the headlights for the night. Before her was also VARTA, and today I bought VARTA from the presence of D59
It was muddy and warta, and for more than 20 years of operation of vehicles. As a result, I put Tyumen 3 years ago and I do not regret not being discharged in a week on the signaling (warta), it will not freeze at -15 (muddy), even if it goes out of order, it's not a pity - because it's not expensive!
VARTA has worked for 2 years, and the BEAST has been working for 4 years.
That's just the same warta and mudlu bad for big money, does not live at all.
Does anyone believe this? Is the Tyumen slag better than the proven Warta and Mutlu? Ha ha!
