What Hankook does well
- Made by a specialist Korean manufacturer with decades of export experience.
- Offers both Asian JIS and European DIN case sizes.
- Sealed MF design with low self-discharge, useful for cars left parked.
- AGM option for the Korean cars that need it.
Worth knowing before you choose
- It is less well known as a battery brand, so some owners hesitate at the name.
- Large AGM sizes for German SUVs are not its focus.
Hankook in Abu Dhabi heat
The Hankook MF is a sealed calcium battery, built so that the electrolyte it leaves the factory with lasts its whole life. Calcium grids also slow self-discharge, which helps when a car is left at home for a month while the family is abroad. Even so, a hot month without driving drains any battery, and a jump start on your return is common.
Cars we fit Hankook to
Hankook is a regular fit on Hyundai and Kia saloons and SUVs and on Genesis models that need AGM. The DIN sizes in the MF range suit MG cars and the smaller Chevrolets, and the JIS sizes cover Mazda. Terminal layout differs between Korean and European cases, so we match it to the battery coming out.
Choose Hankook if
- You drive a Korean car and want a Korean battery.
- Your MG or small Chevrolet takes a DIN size and has no start-stop.
- The car sits unused for stretches and you want low self-discharge.
Look at another brand if
- You want the battery sold at the Hyundai or Kia dealer. That is Mobis.
- Your Japanese 4x4 needs a big, high-reserve battery. Amaron Pro is the more usual fit.
Who makes Hankook batteries
- Flooded
- EFB
- AGM
Hankook batteries come from the Korean Hankook group, better known for its tyres. The battery business traded for decades as AtlasBX and is one of Korea's large car battery exporters. Its main plants are in South Korea.
Our verdict on Hankook
Hankook is a quietly competent Korean battery and an easy match for Korean cars. The tyre name on the label is no reason to doubt it.
Hankook battery questions
Is the Hankook battery made by the tyre company?
It comes from the same Korean group. The battery business was long known as AtlasBX and has made car batteries for decades, so this is not a tyre maker trying something new.
Hankook or Solite for a Hyundai Elantra?
Both are correct. They are sealed Korean batteries in the same size with the same terminal layout, and service life in the UAE is similar. We fit whichever is available in the right size when you call.
Does a Genesis need an AGM battery?
Most recent Genesis models do, because they have start-stop and a heavy electrical load. If the label on the old battery says AGM, the replacement must be AGM. On several Genesis models the battery is in the boot, which the technician will know.
Can I add water to a Hankook MF battery?
No, and you should not need to. The MF is sealed for life with no service caps. A sealed battery that loses fluid points to overcharging, which is a fault with the car to investigate.
Can you fit a Hankook battery at 3am?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, every day, public holidays included. Inside Khalifa City the technician usually arrives in 20-35 minutes, tests the old battery for free and fits the new one on the spot.
