This first offering from UKBatteries couldn’t be more different from its Value battery. Perhaps it’s the calcium technology, or the whopping ratings of 500 cranking amps and 50 AH capacity. But this happily produced four starts after the freezer treatment, and also worked well in the part discharged crank test. Its 216 minutes in the bulb test impressed us, too.
