1852, Alu anode 1,52 kg

Description

1852 aluminum anode weighing 1.52 kg is a replacement for traditional zinc anodes. It is made of aluminum, which has a greater negative charge and a longer service life, making it more active over time.

An aluminum anode can replace traditional zinc anodes. Aluminum anodes have several advantages over traditional zinc anodes. The alloy used to make the aluminum anode has a greater negative charge than zinc, as well as a longer service life, which means the anode is more active and for a longer period of time.

Overall, an aluminum anode produces about 70% more Amp/Hours over its lifetime than an equivalent traditional zinc anode. As a bonus, you cut the weight in half and save a little on the price.

NB: There must be no physical connection between aluminum and zinc anodes, as the aluminum anode will otherwise protect the zinc anode. Therefore, all anodes on, for example, sterndrives and outboard motors must be either aluminum or zinc. Aluminum can be used in both saltwater and brackish water.

Many manufacturers now use aluminum anodes as standard on their new engines and boats, for example Mercruiser, Mercury, Yanmar, Selva, Torqeedo, Princess and Sunseeker.

6 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE ALUMINUM ANODES::

• CADMIUM FREE: Free from cadmium, a heavy metal harmful to the environment.
• LASTS LONGER: 10% longer service life than a zinc anode.
• BETTER PROTECTION: Provides better protection than a zinc anode
• FOR SALTWATER & BRACKISH WATER: Used in both saltwater and brackish water (zinc anodes are only for saltwater).
• LIGHTER: 2.5 times lighter than zinc anodes
• ALUMINUM BOATS: Ideal for protecting boats with aluminum hulls
