Aluminum anode that can replace traditional zinc anodes. Aluminum anodes have certain advantages compared to traditional zinc anodes. The alloy from which the aluminum anode is made has a greater negative charge than zinc, as well as a longer lifespan, which means the anode is more active and for a longer period of time. In total, an aluminum anode produces approximately 70% more amp/hour during its lifetime than a corresponding traditional zinc anode. As a side benefit, you halve the weight and save some on the price.
NOTE! There must be no physical contact between aluminum and zinc anodes, as the aluminum anode would protect the zinc anode. Therefore, all anodes on, for example, sterndrives and outboard motors must be either aluminum or zinc. Unlike zinc anodes, which can only be used in saltwater, aluminum can be used in both saltwater and brackish water. Many manufacturers today use aluminum anodes as standard on their new engines and boats, such as Mercruiser, Mercury, Yanmar, Selva, Torqeedo, Princess, and Sunseeker.
6 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE ALUMINUM ANODES:
· Cadmium-free: No cadmium, which is a heavy metal harmful to the environment
· Lasts longer: 10% longer lifespan than a zinc anode
· Better protection: Provides better protection than a zinc anode
· For saltwater and brackish water: Can be used in both saltwater and brackish water (zinc anodes can only be used in saltwater)
· Lighter: 2.5 times lighter than zinc anodes
· Aluminum boats: Perfect for protecting boats with aluminum hulls
