Exide Technologies has launched the Extreme Power 1000 battery for the heavy-duty aftermarket. Claimed to have greater starting power and three times the vibration resistance of traditional flooded batteries, the Extreme Power 1000 delivers 1000 CCA (cold cranking amps) and 200 RC (reserve capacity) minutes.

It features the company’s patented silver-alloy, cast-positive grids, double insulated glass-mat-lined separator envelopes, Stabl-Lok Plus epoxy anchor
bonding, and reinforced case and cover with an easy-to-carry handle. And it’s backed by a 24-month, free-replacement warranty.

Exide is also launching a patent-pending new case and cover for its Group 31 flooded products. The new design includes: spill-proof, manifold cover design under normal operating conditions; ‘suitcase’ handle and side grips for easy installation; and differentiated versions for the aftermarket and OE customers.

Like other Exide products, the Extreme Power 1000 is made with recycled lead and plastic, and can be recycled at the end of its service life. The company says it’s one of the few battery manufacturers in the world with facilities to both make and recycle its own products.
