Optima Redtop
Sealed maintenance-free pure-lead spiral-cell battery | electrolyte absorbed (AGM)

Optima RedtopHighest starting performance

Whenever starting power is a top priority, e.g. in heavy commercial agricultural and construction machinery. Does not lose its starting ability even during long periods of downtime. Perfect for emergency vehicles or generators.

Our recommendation for American vehicles if you want a sealed battery.

Features

  • Easy to install

    Your advantage: With the right dimensions, it fits exactly in your US vehicle.

  • Connect quickly

    Your advantage: Can be easily connected to the cables of common US models with US front pole with internal thread or A-cone poleHighest

  • Highest starting currents.

    Because this AGM battery has a particularly large reaction surface due to the tightly wound grids, it charges well and has a high cold start capability.
    Your advantage: Even if you have a lot of consumers installed, which eat up the battery, it brings enough power to start.

Characteristics

  • Very high starting performance. Wound pure-lead plates for larger plate surface and less plate spacing.
  • Very cycle resistant. Tolerates deep discharging by power-hungry consumers when the engine is switched off.
  • Good vibration resistance and durability. Pressed, wound plates protect the active material.
  • For extreme conditions.
  • Sealed pure-lead spiral-cell battery with electrolyte fixed in glass fibre mats (AGM).
  • Compact dimensions.
  • 6-volt and 12-volt versions.
  • Sealed maintenance-free and leak-proof.

What is an AGM battery?
What is the point of vibration-proofing a starter battery?
Especially in trucks and other high-displacement commercial vehicles with diesel engines, there are strong vibrations that cause the battery to age prematurely. Our truck batteries in SHD versions are vibration resistant according to V3, like the intAct …
Our absolutely maintenance-free motorcycle batteries
intAct Bike-Power AGM, intAct Bike-Power SLA, intAct Bike-Power GEL, intAct Bike-Power HVT and intAct Bike-Power GEL HVT-HD are valve regulated lead-acid batteries or VRLA batteries (VRLA=Valve Regulated Lead-Acid). VRLA batteries produce much less gas …
What does absolutely maintenance-free mean?
Absolutely maintenance-free batteries are valve-regulated lead-acid batteries or VRLA batteries (VRLA = Valve Regulated Lead-Acid) that are sealed at the factory. Here, significantly less gas is produced than in wet batteries. The gas produced remains …
Why does this battery have such a good current draw?
Due to the AGM technology, this battery absorbs the current particularly well, i.e. it recharges faster than a conventional wet battery and you can charge it with a higher charging current or a more powerful charger, like the ? This characteristic comes …
What are start-stop batteries?
The EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) was developed for start-stop vehicles. This further development of the wet battery is significantly more cycle resistant, like the intAct Start-Stop-Power EFB. Because of the good current reserve, AGM batteries are also …
Care should be taken when handling batteries
Chemical processes take place in batteries. They are influenced by external circumstances such as temperature or humidity. That is why it is worth taking care. During use, storage, installation and transport. For your own protection and for the protection …
The application determines how many volts are required.
In order not to damage either the connected loads or the battery, the voltage of the battery must fit. Batteries are available with 6 or 12 volts. They consist of 3 or 6 cells of 2.12 volts each. For applications that require more voltage, such as the …
Batteries without vent hose
Only conventional, wet batteries need a vent hose, because they gas strongly during operation. The resulting steam can escape through the openings in the plugs. To prevent the vapour from damaging the vehicle, conventional batteries are vented to the …
Do I need a start-stop battery or a normal one?
In start-stop vehicles, the engine stops every time the vehicle is in neutral. This saves petrol and reduces air pollution. However, this means an extremely high load for the battery. It has to start much more often, i.e. deliver high currents, than a …
Dry pre-charge battery before installation.
A battery that is not fully charged when installed will not reach its full performance in the future and will have a significantly shortened service life. Immediately after the first filling with acid, dry pre-charged batteries only reach 75 to 80 % of …
Dimensions before starting power
First of all, a battery must fit in your vehicle or machine. Check the dimensions of your old battery or the available space in the battery compartment of your vehicle. The placement of the terminals, i.e. where exactly the positive and negative terminals …
The difference between low maintenance, maintenance free and absolutely maintenance free.
Low-maintenance, flooded lead-acid batteries lose fluid during normal use. They must be maintained, i.e. the fluid level should be checked regularly and the fluid loss compensated with distilled water if necessary. These batteries usually have vent caps …
Cleanliness pays off
To ensure proper battery function, it makes sense to keep the battery surface clean and dry. Greasy or silicone-containing dirt on the lid can hinder the flow of current. Moisture on the battery can cause a short circuit in the worst case.
What do deposits on the battery plugs mean?
Black deposits on the plugs indicate a battery that has worn out prematurely due to continuous excessive load. Tip: Always ensure a good balance between current drain and charging. Information on capacity calculations and charging behaviour can be found …
What is short circuit and how do I prevent it?
Short-circuiting occurs when the two terminals or plates of a battery are accidentally connected together. This can happen if the separator between the plates is damaged by vibration, for example, or if excessive battery sludge builds up, closing the …

What is a starter battery?

A battery that is charged by the alternator and starts the vehicle. For this purpose, the starter motor requires a lot of current for a short time. In addition to the cold start capacity (CCA), which indicates how much current the battery can ideally supply, the properties of a battery influence how reliably it can provide this starting power. A battery with very good charging properties recharges more quickly, for example, which benefits vehicles in city traffic in particular. It also supplies the consumers in vehicles without an additional back-up battery or supply battery. The more electrical consumers are installed at the factory or retrofitted, the more capacity is required to supply them when the vehicle is idling or at an engine stop and still reliably restart the vehicle.

Commissioning

A battery that is not fully charged when installed will not reach its full capacity in the future and will have a significantly shortened service life.

Even factory-filled and charged batteries can lose charge during storage. We recommend that you also fully charge them before installation.

You can find out how to do this in our step-by-step guide to charging your battery.

Maintenance and Care

Absolutely maintenance-free batteries are valve-regulated lead-acid batteries or VRLA batteries (VRLA = Valve Regulated Lead-Acid) that are sealed at the factory. Here, significantly less gas is produced than in wet batteries. The gas produced remains in the circuit of the battery due to gas recombination. As a result, these batteries lose significantly less liquid. They do not need to be topped up, and it is not even possible to do so, as they cannot be opened again without damage.
