The ultimate caravanning experience with Delkor

WHILE ONE CAN FOREGO CERTAIN LUXURIES WHEN HOLIDAYING IN A CARAVAN, ONE THING THAT CANNOT BE COMPROMISED IS THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY

For holidaymakers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life to immerse in nature, caravanning offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Modernday luxury caravans are little homes on wheels offering the comforts of home such as power, cooling/heating, storage, technology, and more. Even caravans with fewer bells and whistles have some features requiring reliable power. While one can forego certain luxuries, one thing that cannot be compromised is the vehicle’s battery. Delkor Deep Cycle batteries offer a hassle-free caravanning experience.

Manufactured by Clarios Delkor Corporation, Delkor Deep Cycle batteries are designed specifically for caravans, RVs, campers, motorhomes, and 4x4s which require steadfast power and repeated cycling over an extended period. Delkor deep cycle batteries provide this reliable cycling power thanks to their thick plates, high-density active material, and their durable, expanded lead calcium-alloy grids for both positive and negative plates. This range was purpose-built for safety and convenience. The maintenance-free design and built-in ‘state of charge’ hydrometer provide ease of use for any caravan adventure. Other features provide additional safety, such as the flame arrestors in vents, low-resistance microporous envelope separators, and lock-bonded cells for high vibration resistance.

Delkor is well regarded for its quality batteries and has received the prestigious Korean Quality Excellence Award (KS-QEI) since 2006. The KS-QEI is a quality evaluation index developed by the Korean Standard Association (KSA) and Korean Society for Quality Management for measuring product quality and customer satisfaction. It surveys consumers and experts in the field on their experience with various products and services, and measures these results against two indices — usage quality and emotional quality. The usage quality index is based on performance, reliability, durability, usability, stability, and accessibility. The emotional quality index is based on brand image, brand awareness, and novelty. In 2022, Delkor batteries won the coveted spot in the automotive battery category for the 17th consecutive year which reinforces Delkor’s product quality and reliability. Delkor batteries are used by many of the world’s biggest vehicle manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, and Kia, which is a further testament to product quality.
