Delkor Calcium Battery

[craz0]

Has anyone heard of a Delkor Calcium Battery? I just bought one for my R33 GTS-T.

Model # 22F-610D

Amp HR = 55

Reserve = 90

CCA = 610

It's also fully sealed.

Just wondering what peoples thoughts where.

What did you pay if I can ask?

Is the reserve rating the same as residual charge (RC)? If so, it seems a little low for a 610 CCA...

But that may be cause it is only small right? Most 600+ CCA batteries are huge!

What are the dimensions?

230mm W x 190mm H x 170mm D $128.00 and what is a residual charge?

Thats a tiny battery for such a large CCA! Sounds good. Does it fit in the stock location ok?

I've never heard of Delkor but what I don't know could fill a warehouse

Just did a search and RC is known as residual charge in some circles and reserve capacity in others...

Reserve capacity is the time in minutes that a new, fully charged battery will deliver 25 amperes at 80 degrees farenheit and maintain a terminal voltage equal to, or greater than, 1.75 volts per cell. This rating represents the time the battery will continue to operate essential accessories if the alternator or generator of a vehicle fails.  

Put another way, reserve capacity is a battery's ability to sustain a minimum vehicle electrical load in the event of a charging system failure. Under the worst conditions (winter driving at night), this minimum could require current for ignition, low beam head lamps, windshield wipers, and defroster while driving at low speeds.

Most 600+ CCA batteries have an RC of 130+... But most 600+ CCA batteries are way bigger than yours. I think that is why yours has a relatively low RC... Still plenty IMO...

So are you gunna hook me up? Or at least tell us where you bought it from...

It fits in the stock location but it doesn't fit into the little plastic thing that original sits on, the positive terminal just reaches but the negative is a little short not by much though and the original terminals are to small plus the hold down bracket isn't wide enough but one of them multi fit tops will fix that and there is another hole for the hold down bar to go into.

I bought it from Mikeder Auto Electrics here in central Qld, they had a few different sizes I wanted the next one up thats made for a Cruiser but it wouldn't fit in between the metal guides:( but this one seems to be fine.

I haven't installed it properly as yet I've done a dummy fit and it clears everything, I just want to get the terminals upgraded and the line extended a little to be on the safe side.

Amp HR = 55 (20hr)

Reserve Capacity = 90 (min)

Cold Cranking Amps = 610 (-18deg c)

Hope that helps.

I've got a pic of the Battery installed if anyone is interested.

Bump

I think I need a new battery too.

But don't know much about them.

What should be the rating of the CCA etc for a Skyline??

I was expecting to pay like $200 + but if this Delkor is cheaper might see if I can find it in Melb.

The original is only about 270 CCA I think, does anyone else know for sure?
