Improved Varta PROmotive CV Batteries

Johnson Controls has revised its range of Varta-branded CV replacement batteries to replicate all OE applications. Johnson Controls is the largest European supplier of OE batteries to the truck and bus industries. The range of Varta PROmotive CV batteries now provides virtually total coverage of the UK commercial vehicle parc, with capacities ranging from 140 – 225 Ah.

Heavy Duty batteries are rated 140 and 170 Ah, while Super Heavy Duty are offered with 180 or 225 Ah capacities. All four products use calcium-silver technology to provide reserves of power for high loads at high temperatures and longer service life than conventional lead acid battery technology.

Today’s commercial vehicles are fitted with many electrical consumers, which power comfort, safety and entertainment features, including some even when the engine is not running. The specification of the revised PROmotive range exactly mirrors the OE batteries supplied by Johnson Controls to the likes of DAF, ERF, Foden, Iveco, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Scania and Volvo.

All the batteries are totally maintenance-free, saving downtime and routine maintenance costs, plus they meet the highest European standards for vibration-proofing and endurance ratings. The labyrinth lid allows gases to be safely discharged in a controlled manner and the lid incorporates dual integral flame arrestors for added safety.
