What is a lead-acid battery?
A lead-acid battery is a type of battery that was invented by a French physicist in 1859. It is still commonly used today in all kinds of vehicles and other applications, from golf carts to solar panels and alarm systems. This popularity is probably due to the simple construction, which gives you a high electrical current and voltage for a relatively low price.
Which lead-acid battery do you need?
When replacing your lead-acid battery, it is best to buy a new one with the same specifications. Consider the dimensions and the connections. The following values are also important:
- the voltage (U), expressed in volts (V), usually 6V or 12V
- the current (I), expressed in amperes (A)
- the capacity (C), expressed in amperes per hour (Ah)
You can choose from many vehicle battery types at JVD Parts. Are you not quite sure you’ve found the right one? Let us know, we will be happy to help you.
What types of lead-acid batteries are there?
Lead-acid batteries are available for various applications.
- Lead-acid starter battery: produces a high current for a short time.
- Lead-acid semi-traction battery: supplies a constant current for a longer period of time.
- Lead-acid traction battery: discharges more often and deeper, and is more
powerful than semi-traction batteries.
What is the difference between a wet and a dry lead-acid battery?
A lead-acid battery is a 'wet battery', containing water and acid. It must therefore always be kept upright to prevent acid from leaching. In addition, the water must be replenished regularly. That is not the case with a 'dry battery'. In a gel battery, the liquids have been replaced by a paste, whereas, in an AGM battery, they are safely woven into a glass mat.
How do you maintain a lead-acid battery?
Maintain your battery properly and enjoy a longer service life.
- Regularly check the water level.
- Only top the battery up with demineralised water after charging.
- Keep your battery clean with a dry cloth.
How can you extend the service life of your lead-acid battery?
The lifespan of your lead-acid battery depends on how deeply you discharge it and the number of charges. A battery that is 100% discharged before the next charge is irreversibly damaged after just 300 charging cycles. Batteries that discharge less than 30% can easily last 1,000 charges.
Will you not use your lead-acid battery for a long time? Then store it charged in a warm place, not in a chilly shed in the winter. Also charge it regularly. Otherwise, the capacity will decrease to the point that your battery will no longer charge at all.
How do you charge a lead-acid battery?
Keep these tips in mind for charging your battery.
- Never, NEVER discharge beyond 80%.
- Use the right battery charger.
- Do not disconnect your battery too early.
- Avoid unnecessary intermediate charging.
