In order for the car to work as long as possible on one battery, as well as receive high-quality uninterrupted power supply, it is necessary to choose a modern and reliable battery. Among the new brands of batteries for various types of equipment, products sold under the Totachi trademark are most in demand. The features of this product, as well as the main advantages and disadvantages will be described in detail below.

Battery Manufacturer Totachi
Totachi batteries are manufactured by the Japanese company Totachi Industrial Co. Ltd. Japan, which has been producing high-quality batteries for cars and motor vehicles for 20 years, also produces synthetic oils: Totachi Niro and Totachi Grand Touring.
The advantage of using a battery of this brand is its lower cost, which is due to the use of its own capacities for the production of batteries. The official website of the manufacturer is located at: https://www.totachi.ru/.
Where are Totachi batteries used?
Totachi batteries are mainly used as starter batteries for cars and trucks. For motorcycles, power supplies of this brand are also available. Due to the fact that Ca / Ca technology is used in the production of Totachi batteries, the products have several advantages over other manufacturers' batteries.
First of all, in such products the effect of evaporation of the electrolyte is minimized, which allows us to produce a battery in a hermetically sealed case (maintenance free batteries).
Applied technologies and their features
The batteries of this brand are made from calcium doped lead. This technology can significantly reduce sulfation plates, which is expressed in a marked increase in the shelf life of the product.
Unlike the design of old models, which required topping up water literally every month of operation, Totachi batteries eliminate this need, thereby protecting the product plates from possible partial or complete exposure.
Technical characteristics of a model range
Totachi batteries differ from each other, primarily in size, inrush currents and capacity. For trucks, the capacity indicator will be more than 150 Ah, and for motor vehicles equipped with generator sets, the capacity will not exceed 5 Ah.
The starter batteries of this company are characterized by increased current output in the first seconds of battery operation, which allows you to start internal combustion engines at any temperature.
Moto batteries Totachi
For motorcycles, the company produces batteries with a capacity of 3.5 to 20 Ah with a cold-scrolling current of 45 to 255 amperes. Most models have direct polarity (plus on the left), but there are models with reverse polarity (plus on the right).

Totachi passenger batteries
Passenger batteries have a significantly higher capacity indicator, which in the Totachi product line starts with a minimum value of 38 ah. For cars that have significant power consumption and a powerful starter to start the engine, batteries with a capacity value of 75 Ah are used.
Such products have an increased cold-scroll current, which makes it possible to efficiently start even diesel units at negative air temperatures.

Totachi cargo batteries
Totachi batteries used to provide electric current to trucks have a capacity of 140 to 225 Ah. The value of the cold scroll current is from 700 to 1400 A.
Cargo batteries of this company are also manufactured using calcium technology. Some batteries are completely maintenance free so you do not need to add water to them. Those with 6 caps on the top cover or MF in the markings are low-maintenance, so they will have to be filled with water.

Service
Maintenance of batteries that do not have special openings is not required, but the operating mode of such a device should also be carefully monitored. On a car, the battery must be properly secured so that the product is not hit by a body during movement.
It is necessary to remove the battery from the car and bring it into a warm room when the car is parked for a long time in the winter season. With frequent use of the machine only at night, as well as with powerful on-board power consumers, it is necessary to regularly measure the voltage at the battery terminals.
If the battery is serviced, you will have to open the battery cover, measure the density of the electrolyte, add water.
How to charge Totachi batteries
Totachi batteries should be charged using factory-installed power converters. Such devices are connected to a regular network with a voltage of 220 V. Moreover, most modern models have a built-in controller that will independently select the battery charging mode.
If the owner of the battery uses an old charger or an adjustable transformer, it is recommended to supply an electric current to the battery terminals with an amperage of 10% of the rated capacity of the product to effectively charge the battery.
How to find out the release date and decrypt the code
You can determine the year of manufacture by decoding the code, which is located on the top cover of the device. If the service book for the battery is preserved, then the exact date of issue of the battery can also be indicated in this document.
If there is no service book, then the markings on the battery are decrypted as follows:
- The first digit is the year of production.
- The second letter is a month.
- The third letter is a manufacturer.
- The last two digits are the production date.
For example, the marking 8JKD17 will indicate that the battery was produced on October 17, 2018 at the factory in Digon.

Reviews
Maxim g, Moscow
I bought a Totachi SHD battery for my gazelle. Despite the reverse polarity and significant dimensions, the product copes with frequent engine starts, and has never failed when used in the winter.
Gregory, Arkhangelsk
I bought a Totachi battery for a scooter. The battery perfectly holds current and allows you to start a moped literally half a turn.
Konstantin, Rostov
I have been purchasing Totschi batteries for several years. I tried to remove the cover in order to add water, but the country of Japan, apparently, switched to the release of only maintenance-free battery models.
