- Highest quality car batteries
The process of choosing a battery can lead even a seasoned car owner to a standstill. Still: the thing is not cheap, but I want it to last longer and not pump up in the cold. If such a task has arisen, it is better to take a battery similar to the one installed by the car manufacturer.
The dimensions of the battery and its capacity should also be taken into account, which in batteries for passenger cars with a gasoline engine with a volume of up to 1.9 liters usually does not exceed 60 Ah. But for diesel cars and SUVs, this criterion should be raised to 75 Ah, or even higher. Batteries for passenger cars, claiming popularity in 2020 - the topic of this review.
Highest quality car batteries
1. Tyumen Battery Asia
Tyumen batteries open the rating. The certified budget model has a capacity of 45 Ah and produces a voltage of 12 V with a cold start current of 420 A. These batteries are intended mainly for Asian cars driving on Russian roads. Although the terminals are of the European standard.

The batteries produced by a high-quality manufacturer compare favorably with their competitors in terms of technical performance.
The possibility of independent control of the electrolyte level in the cells provided to the car owner is one of the features of the battery. Moreover, this battery is suitable for many cars, and Exide products managed to collect a lot of positive reviews on the network.
Features of the model:
- versatility in use;
- high starting power;
- long operating time.
5. Bosch S4 Asia
This model is, as it were, aloof from the main range of universal batteries produced by Bosch. This is because the company took into account the distinctive features of Asian cars and developed a special battery for them.
The capacity of such a battery ranges from 60 to 95 Ah and depends on its specific version. Moreover, the 70 Ah battery has an optimal cost for the S4 Asia line and may well be installed in passenger cars.
The value of the cold start current for these batteries can range from 540 to 830 A. It remains to add that they are not designed to service machines that are too equipped with electronics.
Features of the model:
- large capacity;
- variety of modifications;
- high quality workmanship;
- not recommended for machines rich in electronics.
6. Gigawatt G44R
These lead-acid batteries are produced by the American company Johnson Controls, and at the production facilities of the famous Bosch. Probably, this is the reason for the high quality of the products.
The design features of the case and the chemical composition of the alloy of the electrodes allow the battery to withstand high temperatures, and even without reducing the efficiency. And with the help of a high starting current, the battery will be able to start the car even in severe frost.
Features of the model:
- capacity: 45 Ah;
- starting current: 400 A;
- type: unattended.
7. Yuasa YBX3027
This maintenance-free battery, manufactured by the Japanese company GS Yuasa, is capable of withstanding about 30 thousand starts. Its sealed double lid helps reduce water loss and protects against electrolyte leakage when tilted.
The battery status indicator will help to control the battery charge level, and a convenient carrying handle adds mobility to the device. In addition, the battery has a built-in flame arrester, produces a high current and is of OEM quality.
Features of the model:
- capacity: 62 Ah;
- cold current: 550 A;
- weight: 14.8 kg.
8. Autopart Plus
If you need a reliable premium battery then Autopart Plus is a good choice. Batteries from a Polish manufacturer are manufactured using a special technology that gives them high performance and long service life.
The battery tolerates sudden changes in temperature, it can work well both at +60 and -40, without losing the ability to quickly start current. A great advantage of the battery is also the minimum water consumption, and as a result, there is no need for additional service.
Features of the model:
- capacity: 140 Ah;
- starting current: 800 A;
- type: low-maintenance.
9.TAB Polar S
State-of-the-art vehicles require batteries that can provide all of this with a steady supply of power to fully utilize devices and built-in functions. The high-quality TAB Polar S battery meets this criterion, capable of demonstrating reliability and high performance under a wide variety of operating conditions.
The battery from a Slovenian company, produced using expander technology, has a sealed casing that protects the unit from external influences. But even with severe damage, special separators will not allow the electrolyte to spill.
In addition, this battery is waterproof, equipped with a special system of protection against vibration and shock, which allows it to be safely operated off-road. Moreover, even extreme driving is possible with such a battery.

10. MIDAC FORTIS Asia
The high quality of its products has made the Italian brand Midac widely known both in Europe and abroad.The company that bears this name was one of the first battery manufacturers to master the innovative method of manufacturing battery plates - Punching Greed Technology, which made it possible to improve the quality and reliability of these components. The innovation has also led to improved starter properties and extended battery life.
The batteries of the FORTIS Asia series themselves are manufactured using the "Calcium-Calcium" technology, practically do not need maintenance and are slower to self-discharge than competitors. Moreover, a number of features, inherent in these batteries, makes them perfectly applicable on Russian roads:
- the ability to monitor the state of each battery bank;
- can be installed in agricultural machinery;

- when the battery is overturned on its side, the special design of its cover prevents the electrolyte from flowing out for some time.
In addition, the FORTIS Asia battery has a very reasonable price, and is also characterized by a practical ratio of price and quality. The battery belongs to the Asian group and is suitable for Hyundai, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota SUVs. It can also be used on boats as a starter device.
Conclusion
Basically, different parameters affect the performance of the battery. For example, the capacity of the battery determines how many times in a row it will be possible to start the car in frost, and the starting current determines how long it will start.
As for brands, from inexpensive batteries we can recommend Varta, from the middle price segment - Exide, from premium-class models - Bosch. Do not discount the features of the car for which the battery is being selected.
