Aluminium anode that can replace traditional zinc anodes. Aluminium anodes have several advantages over traditional zinc anodes. The alloy used to make the aluminium anode has a higher negative charge than zinc, as well as a longer service life, which means the anode is more active over a longer period. In total, an aluminium anode produces approx. 70% more Amp/Hours over its lifetime than an equivalent traditional zinc anode. As an added benefit, you halve the weight and save a little on price.

NB: There must not be any physical connection between aluminium and zinc anodes, as the aluminium anode will protect the zinc anode. Therefore, all anodes on e.g. drives and outboard motors must be either aluminium or zinc. Unlike zinc anodes, which can only be used in saltwater, aluminium can be used in both saltwater and brackish water. Many manufacturers now use aluminium anodes as standard on their new engines and boats, e.g. Mercruiser, Mercury, Yanmar, Selva, Torqeedo, Princess and Sunseeker.

6 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE ALUMINIUM ANODES:

• Cadmium free: Without 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 and brackish water: Used in both saltwater and brackish water (zinc anodes are only for saltwater)
• Lighter: 2.5 times lighter than zinc anodes
• Aluminium boats: Ideal for protecting boats with aluminium hulls
