PERION P72R (572409068) 72Ah 680A

PERION P72R (572409068) is a 72Ah battery for cars. Case code LB3R means 278 x 175 x 175 mm, and those dimensions are what decide whether the battery drops into the tray. Cold cranking amps are 680 A to the EN standard, and the colder it gets the more that figure matters. The positive terminal sits on the right, looking at the terminals with the battery upright. The 72Ah capacity sets how long the battery can feed the electrical consumers with the engine off.

Perion is a battery brand of Hungarian origin - production was once based in Budapest, and in the 1990s the plant supplied batteries to the Suzuki and Opel factories in Hungary. The Budapest plant has since ceased production, and in 2002 the rights to the brand name were taken over by Varta, which today belongs to the Clarios group, one of the world's largest makers of starter batteries. On the market Perion is known as a cheaper alternative to Varta batteries. The Perion batteries we stock are made for passenger cars: 12 V, capacity from 35 to 105 Ah and cold cranking amps from 300 to 910 A. Most are conventional flooded lead-acid batteries, but the range also includes AGM models for cars with a start-stop system. In a Latvian winter it is the cold cranking amps that matter most - the higher they are, the more easily the engine starts in the cold.
