A good battery is the key to a successful engine start even in cold weather. The battery of Tornado is in demand due to the combination of cost and quality of products that will work out their warranty period and even more.

Battery Manufacturer Tornado
The Tornado battery is produced at various plants throughout Russia. Avtoyunion company does not manufacture batteries, but simply makes their purchase at other factories. So the products under this series are released by Tangstone, Akom and Akteh. The factories themselves are very different in production technologies, the use of materials, and the batches of Tornado batteries differ in cost and quality.
Most often, Tungstone Batteries are valued by consumers. After all, a plant with a century of history uses modern technologies in its work, which allows us to guarantee quality and a long service life. At the same time, the manufacturer offers a wide range of batteries in terms of capacity and rated voltage.
Where are Tornado batteries used?
Car owners have long been aware of the features of such batteries. Similar products are used for other equipment:
- Trucks;
- Buses
- Agricultural machinery.
Applied technologies and their features
- Injection molding of the plates promotes a uniform distribution of the lead alloy in the mold, which ensures battery reliability.
- To increase the corrosion resistance, to increase the efficiency of current collection allow special additives additives.
- low antimony lead alloy electrodes, which prolongs the service life, because the products are protected from corrosion.
- From short circuit protection is provided using an imported separator.
- High vibration resistance.
- To reduce self-discharge, the manufacturer purifies the active mass of iron, zinc and alkali metals, which also reduces water loss.
- The Tornado battery is characterized by low water consumption and high anti-corrosion properties.
The use of modern technologies has allowed to bring products to the world market, because it meets domestic and European quality standards.
Technical characteristics of a model range
The battery is serviced. The case is made of shock-resistant material, for the comfort of carrying it is equipped with a handle. Each battery is endowed with its own technical indicators.
Passenger batteries
By visiting the official website, each consumer will be able to choose the right model for capacity and other parameters. For passenger models, the choice is presented with products from 45 to 110 ah, on which the cost of the product depends. On average, such a battery will cost 3 thousand rubles.
Cargo batteries
Cargo models are represented by capacities - 132 to 225 mah. Models with different parameters and type of mounting cost. The cost of batteries for trucks is 12 thousand rubles.
Service and Charging
Clean regularly from moisture and dirt. Make sure that you don’t the terminals were oxidized, if necessary, clean them. The battery is a device for deep discharges, but still it is better to protect it. Antimony batteries are serviced, so you will have to open the plugs from time to time and add distilled water. She has a fairly high self-discharge, so it will be necessary to periodically check the voltage and recharge.
If the voltage at the terminals drops to 12 volts, then the battery is considered almost discharged and should be charged. This will require:
- Remove the battery from the vehicle and put it in well ventilated area;
- Allow it to warm to room temperature;
- To clear of dirt, moisture and condensate;
- Open the plugs and measure the electrolyte level, add distilled water if necessary;
- It is not necessary to close the lid while charging, as it will evaporate when the electrolyte boils;
- We set the current strength to 10% of the capacity, that is, if the capacity is 60 Ah, then we set 6 amperes;
- Voltage 14.4 V;
- Charging time about 10 hours;
- After charging, measure the electrolyte level again and top up if necessary.
Do not charge the battery unattended, if something goes wrong you need to immediately stop the procedure.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
The marking is used by manufacturers so that every car owner can choose the right model for the parameters - capacity, cold scroll current and polarity. Manufacturers try to adhere to the same code to facilitate the search for a suitable battery:
- The presence of R indicates reverse polarity, if it is direct, then this is not fixed anywhere.
- ST is an element of the starter plan.
- Capacity varies 45-225 Ah.
- N - normal water flow.
The expiration date is indicated by the manufacturer in the instructions. The batteries of the Tornado will officially work for 2 years, which is guaranteed by the manufacturer. In reality, they are enough for a longer period. The release date is indicated on the top panel of the battery, where the first digits will be the month, and then the year of production. Based on these recommendations, determining the year of manufacture will not be difficult.

Reviews
To assess the real characteristics of the product, it is worth studying the reviews of consumers who have already managed to test the batteries in operation.
Sergey
Affordable battery at a cost, I had to take to replace the one that was stolen. Pleased with its quality. I bought, realizing that this is a cheap option and only for a couple of years. He left the car a couple of times in cold weather, did not remove the terminals, started up without complications. I was especially worried when I had to stay in the country, but the Tornado battery did not disappoint. In general, I had to charge the battery, but other batteries also behave in the cold.
Stanislav
As for me, it’s better to spend money on an inexpensive battery than throw out money and worry that the battery will lose its capacity. After a couple of years, the battery began to heat up so much that the electrolyte began to evaporate. The seller also warned that it would last only for the warranty period. In general, I am satisfied, I changed it to the same one, I hope it also leaves a couple of years.
Alexey
In the warm season it works well, but it does not start well in cold weather. The inrush current is good, but in reality. At the same time, plugs for pouring electrolyte without gum, which is very impractical. You should not count on a long service life, if there is no desire to invest in expensive models, then this option is also suitable.
Despite all the technical advantages of the products, it is worth considering that you can extend the service life only by ensuring proper care and proper recharging.
