Auto part shortages have hit a broad range of imported starter batteries. A sizable portion of these batteries came from countries that are currently restricted or have sharply reduced supplies. Among them were Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Poland, Austria, and also suppliers from Japan and South Korea. Inventory disruptions are driving prices higher, a trend felt by many buyers.
Made in Turkey
Experts assure there is no need for alarm. Imports of high-quality batteries should continue. While some firms shift away in response to sanctions, others are expanding their footprint with steady resolve. They are gradually securing positions in the Russian automotive market. If China dominates car supply from foreign brands today, Turkey is emerging as a notable hub for advanced automotive components, including batteries.
This trend is illustrated by the well-known Taxxon brand, which offers a broad line of batteries produced in Turkey. Each model embodies leading innovations in starter power supplies. The range includes units from 35 Ah up to 240 Ah and starting currents from 260 to 1420 Amps, all manufactured at a premier Turkish facility that belongs to a large, high-turnover manufacturing group.
Tech-forward approach
Taxxon batteries stand out because of SmartGrid technology, delivering a new level of reliability across their lifespan. The increased dependability is also supported by the involvement of Russian technicians in development, ensuring that each battery modification accounts for the challenging and sometimes harsh conditions experienced in the market there.
Coupled with attractive pricing, Taxxon products distinguish themselves from many European-made options whose costs on the Russian market have surged. Consequently, Taxxon batteries are consistently in demand in many regions, with both cars and trucks benefiting from their performance.
Racing credentials
The reliability and stable performance of Taxxon batteries have earned the trust of several major car manufacturers. In the 2022 season, the GAZ Raid Sport racing team chose Taxxon for their vehicles. GAZ Raid Sport has a long history of competing both nationally and internationally, including the Silk Way Rally.
Pilots from the GAZ Raid Sport team have spoken highly of Taxxon batteries in the accompanying video, underscoring the brand’s proven reliability. The team’s success in prestigious motorsport events further reinforces these batteries’ reputation. For instance, in the Silk Way Rally, GAZ Raid Sport fielded several vehicles where two crews placed on the podium in their class gifts, underscoring competitive performance.
New developments
The team’s performance reflects a strong training base and cutting-edge equipment, including Taxxon’s high-tech batteries. The updated line features EFB models designed for modern cars, especially those with Start-Stop systems. EFB batteries offer more charge-discharge cycles, reduced sensitivity to deep discharges, and faster charging. They also tend to resist shock and vibration, which matters in challenging driving conditions.

Taxxon developers continue advancing their offerings, with plans for further improvements and new models on the horizon. There is talk of a future AGM line that uses absorbed electrolyte instead of liquid, delivering excellent reliability and survivability, with strong demand anticipated for on-board power in today’s vehicles.
