Did you know that recycling your car
batteries not only help save the environment but also saves ninety percent
energy in manufacturing a new battery. Using recycled batteries help you reduce
costs and significantly reduce environmental pollution. Are you finding it
difficult choose a battery for your car? Well worry no more, as here are five
great car batteries which are uniquely designed to suit your car.
Lead Acid Batteries
Lead acid batteries are one of the
most commonly used batteries as they contain a combination of lead and sulfuric
acid. The electrolyte reaction between the two causes enough power to keep your
car running for years. They provide the maximum amp power to a car’s engine.
Despite having a low energy to weight ratio and a low energy to volume ratio
they are still capable to supply a high power surge due to their high power to
weight ratio. They are also relatively cheap and involve less maintenance cost.
Deep Cycle Batteries
They are not as powerful as lead acid
batteries but they are designed in such a manner that repeated cycling does not
affect their performance. Deep cycle batteries provide less power to car over a
long period of time therefore conserving the power and delivering it when
needed. They prove to be advantageous when extended power is needed.
Absorbed Glass Mat Batteries
AGM batteries or absorbed glass mat
batteries are advanced batteries which have much lower emission levels. They
are relatively expensive as they are used to power sophisticated electronic
equipment such as satellite navigation systems, electronic control units, music
systems and other related equipment. They are commonly used in high end cars
which are loaded with electronics. AGM batteries can be connected to an
automatic start stop motor which switches off the car’s engine at a road
signal. These batteries have a high charge intake capacity which cranks up the
engine within a split second. They are also known as valve regulated lead acid
batteries which denotes the safety valves present In the battery box. These
pressurized safety valves contain mixed with distilled water to prevent fluid
loss.
Calcium-Calcium Battery
A calcium-calcium battery is a
popular type of battery which comprises of calcium alloys placed in differently
charged plates which reduces the amount of self discharge. The only drawback is
that if the battery is overcharged it would lead to severe damage. The
electrolyte solution is easily mixed as the bubbles moving through the solution
which mixes different acid densities.
Wet Or Flooded Battery
This is one of the most popular type
of batteries as they are very cheap, their design uses plates which are freely
suspended. These plates are separated with insulation, the negative plate is
sealed in a separator bag. The fluid in the battery will remain until the
battery dies therefore making it a maintenance free battery.
It is always wise to conduct a small
research to know what battery suits your car, you can consult your owner’s
manual or service guide book provided by your car manufacturer.
