About Hankook batteries
Hankook supplies batteries to car makers as original equipment, including Korean brands. In the UAE it is a common replacement for Hyundai, Kia and Japanese cars.
Most Hankook batteries are sealed, maintenance-free flooded batteries, with AGM options for start-stop cars. We match the Hankook battery to your car and fit it where it is parked.

FAQ
Hankook batteries: common questions
What is the price of a Hankook car battery in Dubai?
It depends on the size and type your car needs. Send your make, model and year and we give you the fitted price for the right Hankook battery before we come. The price includes fitting, a battery and charging test and taking the old battery away.
What warranty does a Hankook battery have?
Warranty depends on the exact Hankook battery and is set by the UAE distributor. We confirm it with your quote and write it on your invoice. It covers manufacturing faults, not a battery drained by lights left on or a charging fault.
Is Hankook the same as AtlasBX?
Yes. Both are made by the battery business of Hankook & Company in South Korea. The name on the label depends on the market and importer.
Is a Hankook battery good for my Hyundai or Kia?
Yes, if it is the right size and type. Hankook is a common choice for Korean cars. We match the size and technology to your exact model.
