Batteries DC Power in a box
Everything has a purpose, this ethos lies at the core of our decision-making at Element 82 and batteries are no different. Cranking/Starting or high power/burst energy vs. Deep Cycle which is the term used for a discharge of energy before any recharge. That's the basis or starting point from there, capacity, expected life cycle, physical size, and layout considerations. There are so many options because batteries have so many applications.
Deep Cycle is used in house/service batteries in applications like a boat or motorhome when there is a sustained discharge from them before a recharge might occur overnight connected to mains or in a boat when the motor is started and recharge is provided via the alternator. Many brands of AGM batteries have a high power discharge capability, having said that it might only be 5-8 times its Amphour rating. So if a 100Ah battery refers to its ability to discharge 10 amps over 10 hours, it might also have a fast discharge capacity of 600 amps, referred to as 600CA (Cranking Amps). In these instances, while the battery might be classed as a deep cycle it has usable power for cranking. Numbers only get better when it's a 200Ah battery with 1200CA, you can see how this is sometimes why AGM batteries might be referred to as Dual Purpose Batteries.

CTEK powered by Midtronics.
Element 82 is a distributor and service agent for Midtronics conductance testers so we can match your needs from a small workshop to factory dealerships with PBT, MDX, EXP, SCP models to name a few.
The CT Analyser is from the PBT range and represents great value in providing a CCA test result for instant on-screen display.
Many dealerships require printouts of test results so the CTEK Pro Tester uses the MDX-300P platform.
The MDX-600P series allows selection of AGM, Wet cell / flooded, Spiral with a wider range of capacities than the 300 series.
Some dealerships require chassis numbers and date/time information displayed they would consider the 600 series but of particular interest the MDX-650P.
Models with factory certification are available for Mercedes, VW, Jaguar, Fiat, Porsche, Land Rover, Holden, Ford plus many more.
