NorthStar Battery Goes Heavy Duty with the 8DK
SPRINGFIELD, Missouri -- NorthStar Battery [http://www.northstarbattery.com/northstar/engine/index.php ] is the star of the SEMA show with its innovative SMS-AGM 8DK heavy duty battery.
8D batteries are designed for extreme heavy duty starting and marine applications, such as buses, luxury yachts or UPS diesel generator applications.
The NorthStar 8DK stands apart from the competition because of its unmatched performance and kitset design, which allows one-person installation - something that's impossible with prebuilt 8D batteries.
"Understanding our customers' needs and thinking outside the box allowed our team to create a patent pending design that has simplified battery installation," says John Semeniuk, Vice President SLI, NorthStar Battery.
"The 8DK weighs in at over 187lbs when assembled the kit design eliminates the need for a two man team to install."
Proudly made in the USA, NorthStar Batteries use the latest manufacturing technologies to deliver long life, superior cranking, unrivaled cycling, faster recharge and minimal maintenance, even in extreme conditions. The NorthStar 8DK can deliver 3,125 pulse cranking amps, with a reserve capacity of 500 minutes.
With the launch of the new DIN Series, NorthStar can now provide a perfect fit OEM solution to over 150 million vehicles, covering automotive, marine, RV, heavy duty, first responder and enthusiast markets.
Find out more by visiting the NorthStar Battery team this week at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas [http://www.semashow.com/press/2013/07/30/northstar-battery-to-star-at-the-2013-sema-show ]. You'll find NorthStar at booth 34279 in the Upper South hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
NorthStar's state-of-the-art battery plant in Missouri, USA, uses the latest automated manufacturing to produce pure lead positive grid plates. These plates can be made thinner, which means more can be added into each battery to generate greater surface area, which increases power density. The plates are inserted under high compression, which also improves performance characteristics, virtually eliminating life limiting failures in high vibration applications. This is why NorthStar batteries can deliver exceptional CCA ratings and reserve capacity cycling ability, with a longer lifetime and virtually no internal grid growth.
Don't settle for anything less - if you need the best, you need a NorthStar Ultra High Performance battery.
