In 1929, the Lead Accumulator Plant appeared in Saratov. He produced power supplies for agricultural and military equipment. It was one of the largest in Russia and produced more than 200 types of batteries. But the main milestone in history is considered to be the equipping of the first spacecraft with a man on board with batteries. Today, a museum located on the territory of the plant reminds of its former glory, and the enterprise itself has almost completely switched to the civilian market.
The company produces three main lines: Pilot, Standard and Aeroforce. The first two items are budget batteries that fully comply with the requirements of GOST and show good test results. Aeroafterburner has become a novelty of the enterprise. Premium line with enhanced performance. Special attention was paid to its promotion in the market and in 2017 it received the "Battery of the Year" award. Feedback on the battery is extremely positive, but the price is appropriate.

Timberg is a brand produced by the Kaliningrad plant Steko. This is a large enterprise that appeared on the market in 2005.Its annual capacity is half a million batteries, which is a lot for a completely new company with no long history behind it. The company does not cooperate with top manufacturers, although it attracts specialists from Poland. Judging by the reviews on the network, the batteries are worthy of attention and are inexpensive, but it will not be easy to find them.
The company has only one brand line - Timberg, but it has more than 50 areas: from powerful traction batteries to 6 volt motorcycle blocks. There are also different form factors for European, American and Asian cars. It is also interesting that the company uses the most advanced production technologies. Yes, she is not their inventor and simply adopts the achievements of other brands, but there is nothing wrong with that if we get a decent product at the output and with an attractive price tag.

Kursk Battery Plant is the largest enterprise in Russia. It produces the most products in a year, but you might not have heard of it. The company has two main brand lines: Istok and Kursk Accumulator. Batteries are budget but noteworthy, but finding them on store shelves is not so easy. The company does not pay due attention to marketing, remaining in the shadow of more well-known brands, although KAZ products often outperform top brands in terms of quality. It's all about the core business of the company.
Starter batteries for private use are just a small niche of the company. It is mainly engaged in the production of high-power batteries for agricultural equipment, and also has contracts for the supply of products for military needs.One can imagine what production volumes KAZ has, it is they who make the company the largest in Russia. In general, if you find Istok or Kursk Battery in the store, be sure to pay attention to them. Decent products, but without aggressive marketing.

In 2006, two longtime entrepreneurs in the energy sector decided to start their own battery business. Teaming up with the local branch of the giant West, they launched three brand lines at once: Forse, FireBall and Dominator. The products met quality standards, but due to poor promotion, they were not very popular. Everything changed in 2008, when prices for imported products seriously increased due to the crisis.
The company managed to contain inflation and not succumb to panic. As a result, batteries still occupied their niche. There was even a new line of Uno. These are the most budget batteries, which also found their buyer. Already in 2009, sales increased dramatically. The foreign investor Vesta left, but the company continued to exist as an independent manufacturer. Today batteries are produced in Kursk. About 1.2 million batteries are sold per year, which is pretty good, especially given the company's focus on the private buyer. It does not have government orders and large supply contracts.
