PROBE serves the heavy duty automotive, mining and construction equipment industry through a national dealer network with a comprehensive range of services including sales and distribution of alternators, starters and associated spares and fully equipped workshop facilities for comprehensive electrical repairs. PROBE has represented the Delco Remy range of products for the past 41 years and is a Delco Remy Master Distributor for the Southern African region. PROBE offers the full line of Delco Remy products for the automotive, heavy truck, mining, construction and agricultural markets. PROBE, though its network, distributes high quality Genuine Delco Remy products throughout Southern Africa and PROBE is an official approved repair and remanufacturing facility for Delco Remy alternators and starters. PROBE’s policy is to supply original equipment, spare parts and complete units, factory approved remanufactured or replacement starters and alternators strictly to manufacturer specifications. PROBE has direct access to the latest technology offered by Delco Remy and Tudor, which is in turn passed on to the Southern African user to effectively meet each customer’s specific needs.
		PROBE is proud to announce its technical and commercial joint venture with Tudor Batteries Brazil, a major international battery manufacturer, who have installed, at the end of 2006, the latest state-of-the-art technology manufacturing equipment, thus making available to Probe the most modern Premium Sealed Maintenance-Free Batteries in calcium/calcium technology. Probe will market and distribute into the African Continent the entire Tudor Brazil product range branded as Probe Batteries. The Probe Battery is of Premium Class in that it is really a sealed battery with both plates being in calcium/calcium making the Probe Battery a fully maintenance-free battery in all respects.
		Notwithstanding such features and benefits, and its price competitiveness versus other local and global battery manufacturers, it is Probe’s philosophy and policy to market a battery of the highest quality with the emphasis on achieving extremely low warranty return levels. Probe is confident in achieving these targets as Tudor Brazil places great importance on producing batteries of the highest quality and performance levels. The plant has the necessary ISO accreditations in line with environmental and O.E.M. requirements to support their quality initiatives. Due to the ever expanding local car market, it is imperative that the consumers are offered a premium product which is clearly superior in performance and application as compared to the regular conventional and open filler cap type batteries. The Probe Battery is an obvious choice as it is priced very competitively compared with best locally manufactured batteries. According to a reputable local battery manufacturer, it has been published that open cell filler cap batteries are the preffered technology for South African conditions, because of the hot climate, high under-hood temperatures and the fact that the South African park consists of older vehicle models. This implies that with open cell batteries there is excessive electrolyte loss being experienced, and that inconvenient, messy and sometimes unskilled maintenance is regularly required, facilitating contamination of electrolyte i.e by possible addition of ordinary tap water and the introduction of harmful matter into the battery.  Damage to the plates of such open cell batteries can also be caused should the electrolyte level not be properly and regularly maintained, with the plates being exposed and drying up with consequent loss of performance and eventual total failure.
		In addition, it must be highlighted that the South African car park has infact modernized considerably over the last few years thus requiring high performance batteries to operate the vehicles efficiently, especially as the latest engines are computerized and voltage stability is vital for proper performance of the vehicle. Nowadays batteries are also fitted under seats, in boots and other out-of-easy reach places requiring the battery to be sealed for safety and convenience purposes. The sealed type maintenance free battery avoids the typical terminal corrosion that is usually experienced with open cell filler cap type batteries as there is no external electrolyte evaporation, with the battery acid remaining in the battery and being recycled through special recombination chambers in the lid. Battery electrolyte level is monitored by a special visual hydrometer fitted on the cover – the so called “magic eye”. The Probe battery offers the best for such modern day applications plus the total convenience of being fully maintenance free, of top quality, long life, and powerful performance, as required for such vehicles in line with relevant international research (USA 1977) and current worldwide standards.
