How to choose a car battery

The battery is one of the main components of the car. Without a smartphone battery, and without a car battery can not function. Car batteries are responsible for starting the engine and running all electrical circuits in the car.

When choosing a battery for a car, you need to pay attention to several important criteria-battery capacity, starting current, overall dimensions, terminal layout and battery type.

The parameter capacity is responsible for the amount of energy that can accumulate the battery during charging and store it. The higher the battery capacity, the longer it will “hold the charge.”

Inrush current is the maximum current given by the battery immediately after starting. From this option depends on the ability to start the engine during severe frosts.

For proper battery selection, you also need to determine the polarity of the battery. To do this, check the position of the positive terminal on the battery installed in the car battery. Polarity is defined as follows: turn the battery towards you with the side where the terminals are located. If “+ right” means the battery for auto has reverse polarity, if “+ left” is straight. You can buy a battery with delivery to Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov and throughout Ukraine on 130.com.ua.

Every car has a certain place under the battery under the hood and this also needs to be considered when choosing. Try to choose a new battery of approximately the same dimensions as the previous one.

What is battery capacity?

Capacity is a measure of the amount of energy that a given battery can store during charging. It is considered in ampere hours. The maximum capacity of a fully charged battery is indicated on its case.

inrush current

To select a battery based on its starting current, click on the appropriate cell in the table.

Battery starting current
360 А	740 А
400 А	800 А
470 А	830 А
480 А	870 А
640 А	920 А
720 А	1600 А

More information about the starting current

This indicator characterizes the possibility of energy to the starter, which turns the engine is not yet heated at the start.

A high starting current is required when the vehicle is operated in a region with a low temperature.

Terminal Location

To select a battery based on the location of the terminals on the output, click on the appropriate image.
