The sealed TurboStart® AGM Series 16 volt battery (part # S16V)
utilizes the latest state of the art AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) separator
technology. Because they can't leak, even if the container is damaged,
we're able to ship our TurboStart® AGM Series types fully charged so the
battery is ready to go when you get it.
The unique valve regulated design ensures that each cell operates at a
slight positive pressure allowing the hydrogen and oxygen gas
recombination process to occur within the battery which virtually
eliminates on - charge gassing. No more maintenance and no more acid
mess!
The S16V maintenance free 16 volt battery is leakproof and spillproof
and has a low profile, 3/8", "Bolt-in" terminal design for lug style
terminal hook ups.
The TurboStart® AGM Series 16 volt charger (part # AGM25A19V) is
fully automatic with a 25 amp/ 19volt output and has been upgraded over
the standard TurboStart® 16 volt charger to be able to charge either AGM
or flooded 16 volt types. A charger curcuit board chip is available for
the original flooded series 16 volt chargers to allow existing
TurboStart® 16 volt users to upgrade their charger to charge the new AGM
series batteries. Our 16VRES step down voltage reducer is also
available for use with the AGM Series 16 volt battery which allows the
racer to run 14 volts to desired components.
Racers in all forms of motorsports have made the switch to 16 volts.
TurboStart® is the innovator of the 16 volt concept to racing, and Axion
Power?International Inc. is proud of the fact that more than 95% of the
competitors in the National Hot Rod Association's (NHRA) professional
drag racing class of Pro Stock and the International Hot Rod
Association's (IHRA) professional classes of Pro Stock and Pro Modified
have made the switch to the TurboStart® 16 volt system. The patented
TurboStart® 16 volt system is also widely used in circle track racing
including such sanctions as NASCAR, Busch Grand National and ASA.
The secret behind 16 volts is the performance advantage gained from
the hotter spark produced by the higher voltage. Additional 16 volt
benefits include a faster spinning starter and higher volume flow from
electric water pumps and fuel pumps.
The excessive vibrations and electrical demands that racing puts on a
battery are a true test of its durability. We take what we learn at the
racetrack and apply that knowledge to every TurboStart® battery we
build. Many of the top race car engine and chassis builders now
recommend using the TurboStart® 16 volt racing battery over a
conventional 12 volt battery.
