1852, Alu anode 0,15 kg Aluminium

Description

1852 aluminum anode is an anode made of aluminum that can replace traditional zinc anodes. It offers a longer service life and a greater negative charge, making it more active in protecting the boat’s metal parts.

Aluminum anodes can replace traditional zinc anodes. Aluminum anodes have some 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 for a longer period of time.

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

NB: There must be no physical connection between aluminum and zinc anodes, as the aluminum anode will protect the zinc anode. Therefore, all anodes on e.g. drives 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, e.g. Mercruiser, Mercury, Yanmar, Selva, Torqeedo, Princess and Sunseeker.

6 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE ALUMINUM ANODES::

• CADMIUM-FREE: Without cadmium, a heavy metal that is 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
