May 17, 2016 Understanding The Types Of Lead-Acid Batteries

The Difference Between Wet, Gel, AGM And EFB Batteries

Often different chemistries of a lead-acid battery are confused as a separate technology altogether. However, the majority of batteries found in most modern day vehicles are lead-acid, including AGM. Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries, along with Flooded (or Wet Cell), Gel Cell, and Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) are sub-sets of lead-acid technology. Just as Lithium Cobalt Oxide, Lithium Manganese Oxide, Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide, and Lithium Iron Phosphate are all sub-sets of lithium-ion batteries. Each subset of lead-acid batteries classified into two main groupings: Flooded and Valve Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA), which is also known as Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA). Below we will explore the differences between each technology:

May 17, 2016 Difference Between Starter And Deep-Cycle Batteries

How Starter and Deep-Cycle Batteries Differ

Starter and Deep-Cycle Batteries primarily differ by the demands and discharge they can withstand.

A starter battery, also known as Starting, Lighting and Ignition (SLI) battery is designed to provide maximum power for a short duration - about 1-3 seconds. Despite its ability to generate high current, it cannot handle deep discharges without permanent long-term effects. Conversely, a deep cycle battery provides continuous power, instead of short surges of power. It’s designed to handle the cyclic demands of deep discharges (hence, the name deep cycle) up to 80-percent depth-of- discharge (DOD), whereas SLI batteries can only handle 50-percent DOD.

May 16, 2016 How Long Does It Take To Charge A Dead Car Battery?

Understanding The Charge Demands of Your Battery

How long it takes to recharge a dead car battery depends on how discharged the battery is, and the current rating (i.e. amperage) of the battery charger. 

The storage capacity of a lead-acid battery is rated in amp-hours (Ah). How many amp- hours that are drained (also known as, depth-of-discharge), represent the number of amp- hours that need to be replenished. For example, if a 100 amp-hour battery was drained 50% (or 50 amp-hours), you would need to return 50 amp-hours back into the battery. The amperage rating of the battery charger will help determine how fast the battery can be recharged.
