Automobile articles - car batteries
The need for replacement of a car battery arises with time for every car owner, because any detail sooner or later fails. When there is a plus temperature outside the window, it is much easier to cope with its tasks. What can not you say about the cold: the starter has to be very difficult and he, straining more, with time simply refuses.
The choice of a car battery depends on the technical parameters:
Battery capacity is the amount of energy that a device can store and store. For each car this indicator will be individual.
Size and type of terminal connection. You can study your old model by picking up a similar design. In general, the size and shape of the battery is not different for different devices, but some cars provide for individual parameters. It is necessary to pay due attention to this characteristic, since if you buy a battery with a minus located on the opposite side, then the length of the wire may not be enough for the correct connection.
The starting current is especially important if you live in a region where a cold climate prevails. Standard models are mainly designed for operation in a temperature mode of +27 degrees. If the indicator falls, the battery loses its power.
In the question of how to choose the car battery, you need to consider the "cold" and "hot" start. Cold start is the ability to run the battery at a temperature of -18 without power loss. A hot start is an opportunity not to lose power when the motor overheats.
By type of service you can choose car batteries of these types:
Serviced - to be repaired, made of ebonite. Among the main advantages can be identified availability by the price criterion.
Low-maintenance - partially repaired. They require periodic maintenance, they have high reliability indicators.
Maintenance-free: can not be repaired. A practical option, since you only need to recharge it in time.
The most practical option is low-maintenance batteries, as they are presented in a wide range and you can choose a model for all brands of cars.
