“R&J Batteries is now happy to offer a top-notch recognised brand like ACDelco to our customers in New Zealand.

We look forward to developing the relationship that will not only grow the business but secure our business for the future.” ACDelco has built a worldwide reputation as a premium source of experience, dependability, technology, and performance. This reputation is consistent across its range of batteries. Since the early 1970s, ACDelco has been at the forefront of battery innovation, pioneering the use of lead-calcium battery plates. The brand is also credited with developing the first mass-produced maintenance-free battery in the world.
