• SLI battery used to power the starter motor, the lights and the engine’s ignition system
• Batteries for start-stop and micro-hybrid vehicles
• Batteries for use in micro and mild hybrids, providing both start-stop functionality, brake energy recuperation and some vehicle propulsion
• Auxiliary batteries for vehicles with degrees of electrification, providing back-up power for safety features

• 99% collected and recycled at end-of-life
• For start-stop and micro-hybrids vehicles, fuel consumption savings of 5-10% are enabled by lead batteries
• Unrivalled cold-cranking
• Excellent high-temperature durability
• Unmatched safety
• Most affordable
• Low environmental footprint

The DCA & Heat workshops have focused on the pressing issues for 12 V automotive lead batteries. The key overall objective of these meetings is to develop test methods that adequately reflect the Dynamic Charge Acceptance (DCA) improvements seen in lead batteries.

The latest virtual edition of the DCA & Heat workshop covered topics related to achieving this objective in a collaborative meeting with automotive OEMs, lead battery manufacturers, researchers, scientists and engineers active in the automotive lead battery field. Read more about the workshop here
