OPTIMA Batteries, a leading brand of CLARIOS, has introduced its new OPTIMA ORANGETOP QH6 lithium battery at the SEMA Show 5-8 November. The new OPTIMA ORANGETOP QH6 redefines lithium battery performance with more cold cranking power than any standard H6, resilience to extreme temperatures, and improved performance, durability and weight reduction over comparable lithium batteries.

The new QH6 is a quad terminal, 45 Ah battery with a cranking power of 880 A and weighs 19.8 lbs. It utilizes a variety of features that OPTIMA Batteries has become known for, including the OPTIMA CPR built-in jump-start, POWERLINK and the integrated OPTIMA Batteries Bluetooth app.

OPTIMA CPR automatically disconnects the battery before it is drained and reserves enough power to start the vehicle. Bluetooth monitoring via the OPTIMA Batteries app allows for an easy way to activate OPTIMA CPR, stay informed on cell and battery state of charge, overall health, cycles and usage, current, internal temperatures and alarms for BMS (battery management system) functions. The BMS system is an advanced microprocessor that controls and monitors all functions automatically, delivering a balanced state of charge for improved performance and an extended lifespan.

In addition, the QH6 is designed for rugged conditions, with resilience against extreme cold up to -20° degrees and heat up to 167° degrees. ORANGETOP lithium technology has also been tested in extreme motorsport conditions from the desert of Baja to the top of Pikes Peak, making it and all OPTIMA batteries extremely resistant to vibration and harsh use. The Clarios and OPTIMA Batteries team has continually refined the technology and made it accessible for all types of vehicles and drivers.
