Swiss-made uatteries suitable for light vehicles are now being imported by Aldalow. Four models of Fortis battery are available, three 12v and one 6v.
Features of Fortis batteries include a greater acid capacity than usual which is claimed to eliminate the need for periodic topping-up. A reservoir is connected to the individual cells which ensures a constant acid level and prevents overfilling. The top of each oattery has a sealed cover with only vie two terminals protruding and rubber rings mounted on the base keep it from slipping about on its support.
The fixing method recommended is by a pair of rubber tensioners which engage in holes in the mounting base and loop over lugs on the battery cover. On 12v models there are lugs on all four sides so that the tensioners can always be fitted in the direction of travel.
Capacity of the Fortis 6v battery is 81Ah. and measures 8.8in. long by 6,7in. wide. Two of the 12v batteries are the same width but are 9,25in. and 10.8in. long with capacities of 44 and 55Ah. respectively. The third 12v is 10.8in. long but 6.1 in. wide and is rated at 44Ah. In all cases overall height is 8.35in.
