Interstate Batteries has impressive credentials as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of about 16,000 types of batteries, with 50 years of experience, 300 distributors and a network of 200,000 outlets. Its claims of implementing several advanced features in the design and development of golf cart batteries enhancing the performance and meeting the demands of the users, add to its credibility in the market. In addition to providing professional battery services, Interstate Batteries is actively involved in battery recycling programs. It’s easy to maintain batteries usually attract manufacturer’s warranty for replacement for a period of 12 to 18 months.
Interstate Batteries Mean High Performance
Its line of batteries has claims of high performance and longer life. “Power fast, built to last” seems to be its projected motto. Interstate Batteries’ GC2-XHD is believed to be having the highest cycle life of all golf cart batteries while the GC2 batteries have the longest drive time on a single charge. The batteries claim higher reserve capacity, recharge acceptance, increased life and 40% to 50% more cycles than its rival brands at competitive prices.
Interstate Batteries has incorporated multiple advanced features in the construction of its batteries for enhanced life, improved performance and easy maintenance. Its new addition in the structure is the ‘powerframe’ concept where all the plates in the positive grid are arranged in the tightest variation. This new process and plate design allows only a minimum deviation of the plates of the positive grid and thereby ensures highest consistency in the battery. Similarly, enhancement in the design of the negative plates also is incorporated to diminish the adverse effects of internal heat inside the battery. Under hood temperatures cause an enormous heat generation. The design of the negative plates with specifically developed chemical paste material decreases damages caused by such heat. Interstate Batteries also has improved its electrolyte chemical compound. Inadvertently leaving the lights of the cart causes damaging discharge of severe run down of the battery. This electrolyte additive enhances the capabilities of the battery to accept such severe discharge and effective recharge conditions.
In the areas of easy maintenance, Interstate Batteries has some innovative ideas. Its ‘Quickcaps’ feature enables the user to check the water level by opening all vent ports with one single twist of the cap. This saves lot of time. It also has a built-in hardware holder to the cap of the positive terminal. This makes maintenance hassle-free and inexpensive.
Interstate Batteries claims higher CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) and RC (Reserve Capacity) rating. RC is the capacity of the battery in terms of time it can supply 25 amps power at 80 degrees F or 27 degrees C continuously maintaining a minimum of 10.5 volts. It is considered the ‘staying power’ of the battery. Higher CCA rating ensures greater cranking ability of the battery. RC becomes important in providing power to the electrical requirements of the cart when the alternator fails. All the products are tested in higher and varying temperatures simulating the real time situations. Interstate Batteries have a reasonable track record with their regular and continuous enhancement of technology offering batteries built sturdier than before with higher cycle life, durability and greater performance.
