PERION PA70 (570901072) 70Ah 780A

PERION PA70 (570901072) - a 70Ah battery for cars. In AGM construction the electrolyte is absorbed into a glass fibre mat, which lets the battery take frequent start-stop cycles and a heavy electrical load. The case matches code L3R, that is 278 x 175 x 190 mm, which is worth checking against the old battery before ordering. Cranking current is 780 A to the EN standard, which is how much current the battery can deliver on a cold start. The positive terminal is on the right, which decides whether the car cables reach it. Capacity of 70Ah is the energy reserve the battery holds while the engine is not running.

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.
