At subzero temperatures, the battery doesn't deliver its full capacity, making engine starting difficult. A fully charged battery at -18°C has only 40% of its rated capacity. Only when heated to +27°C does the battery deliver the manufacturer's stated starting current.
Non-explosion-proof GTG-PPD-27-12/PROM battery heaters ensure easy engine starting at sub-zero temperatures and extend the life of batteries. GTG-PPD-27-12/PROM heaters are equipped with a temperature control device that prevents the plate heating temperature from exceeding 27°C, ensuring safe operation and preventing overheating or boiling of the battery. The heater is installed on the side surfaces of the battery, ensuring safe operation. Thermal insulation can be installed around the perimeter of the battery over the heater to ensure efficiency, offering a more effective solution than a battery heating cover.
The GTG-PPD-27-12/PROM battery heaters are simple and easy to install. Simply remove the heater's protective layer and stick it to the desired, pre-cleaned and degreased surface. Secure the cable with straps. Connection is made through a fuse; it is recommended to turn off the heater when starting the engine or after prolonged storage. Each heater has a power output of 100 watts. It operates from a 12 V power source.
The GTG-PPD-27-12/PROM battery heater can be connected directly to the battery. However, please note that if the battery is not being recharged, using this connection type may result in its complete discharge. To determine battery discharge time, use the following formula: Amps x Hours = Amps. For example, an 8.33 A heater will completely discharge a 100 A/h battery in 12 hours (100 A/h : 8.33 A = 12 hours).
Battery heaters GTG-PPD-27-12/PROM are resistant to friction and aggressive environments such as acid, electrolyte and oil.
When selecting a heater, consider the volume to be heated, the size of the heating element, and the intended location. Battery heaters are designed for long-term warm-up and temperature maintenance. For quick warm-up, for example, of a large battery, multiple heaters can be used, placed around the perimeter of the battery.
Battery heaters GTG-PPD-27-12/PROM are not recommended for use with nickel-cadmium or lithium-ion batteries.
Non-explosion-proof battery heaters GTG-PPD-27-12/PROM CANNOT be used for heating gasoline!
