iQ Power ECO batteries to be sold in Bridgestone outlets in the UAE - Seite 2

AMG technicians thoroughly tested the ECO batteries. All standards were met or exceeded by the batteries, which were delivered from the Bangladesh factory. Recently AMG has started ordering from the Korean factory, iQ Power Asia.

AMG is now also starting a long-term field test with their taxi fleet customers. Batteries running in taxi applications and under hot climate environments usually suffer from a short life span, generally less than 6 to 8 months in the UAE. The test, which will take place until late 2017, will compare the ECO versus the ECO Premium battery performance as well as performance against the competition. This test follows existing taxi pilots started by OBY, in which batteries with MIXTECH have lasted around 18 months, over double the existing average with competitor product.

In addition to the advantages in taxi applications, batteries with iQ Power electrolyte mixing technology are especially good for hot weather climates in which the acid stratification in ordinary batteries accelerates corrosion and sulfation of the lead plates. Batteries with the outstanding iQ Power technology stand out by double the cycle life compared with same batteries without the iQ Power technology.

About the iQ Power Technology
Batteries with iQ Power technology are designed to generate better performance in Start-Stop applications and to meet the growing demands of electronic usage in vehicles today, is the first significant innovation to the flooded starter battery in decades. Automatic mixing of electrolyte inside the battery ensures uniform acid density for higher sustained performance throughout the entire life of the battery. This prolongs plate life by eliminating acid stratification and thermal gradients, delivering greater material utilization for a lower cost per cycle over conventional batteries. The patented technology was awarded the coveted Automechanika innovation award 1st prize in 2010.
