    1. SMF series are SLI type. This type has a variety of applications as a starter battery, but not recommended for Start-Stop engines.
      We are really appreciated. please do not hesitate to contact us for any further information.

        1. Dear Bashar,
          Wish you happy new year. Routine International or Regional standards for testing SLI battery (Such as IEC 60095-1) or Automobile manufacturer’s standards (such as PSA B25 5210), Emphasis on 25% DOD endurance (when 25% of battery capacity is discharged). Ambient temperature in these tests, usually vary from 25 to 40 Degrees Celsius. However, our conventional batteries (SLI) are capable to pass >192 cycles.
          We very appreciate you as a punctilious user.
          Please be in touch, for any further information.
