Exide Excell EB950 95Ah Car Battery Maintenance Free

Product Information

Class A - Higher capacity batteries for those who frequently spend extended time away from an electrical hook-up. The standard (i.e. ‘wet’) starter and leisure batteries described here usually have a polypropylene container (available in standardised sizes) and moulded with compartments. We are unable to ship to the following post codes on any service but may be able to obtain a quote: In Japan, battery failure is the largest complaint among new car owners. The average car is only driven 13 km (8 miles) per day and mostly in a congested city. As a result, the batteries will never get fully charged and sulfation occurs. The batteries in Japanese cars are small and only provide enough power to crank the engine and perform some rudimentary functions. North America may be shielded from these battery problems, in part because of long distance driving. As its name suggests there's broadly the same basic chemistry going with a reaction between lead and an acid but with these the acid is in a crystal form. This means there's very little liquid content with no risk of spillage making them safe to transport. The unique chemistry enables them to be very deep cycled with little risk of sulphation. They can be be around twice the price of a good quality deep-cycle battery but as they were originally designed for UPS use they're robust against continuous charging from a solar supply and can tolerate heavy discharge loads from an inverter for example.

Each compartment creates a nominal 2.12V, thereby creating a total of around 12.7V for a fully-charged battery.Cost is the issue, they can typically be more than five times the price of a good quality lead-acid battery. Maintenance-free batteries

Temperature– The stated capacity of a battery is expressed in Amp hours (Ah) but the quoted figure is only applicable when the ambient temperature is 25C. In reality, there are many occasions in the UK when it’s much colder than 25C and for every one degree drop in temperature, there’s an approximate one per cent reduction in a battery’s Ah capacity. Apply a thin film of grease or petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline, to a battery’s terminals (see right). Portable solar power has gained a lot of traction in recent years. However, they're better suited to keeping smaller power stations topped up for powering gadgets like phones and laptops. Plus, with solar, there's no guarantee that you'll have enough sunlight to keep up with heavy usage. Some leisure vehicles, such as those used for off-road quad bikes and jet skis, have a greater likelihood of tipping over. An accidental inversion might also result in the loss of a battery’s corrosive acid which, in turn, might cause personal injury. In response to this, batteries are installed which have a non-spill electrolyte in the form of a gel. Unlike a ‘wet’ battery, a gel battery’s casing is completely sealed. Recently, some imported motorhomes have been fitted with a gel battery rather than a lead-acid battery, but this is for added safety during a crash. From an electrical perspective, batteries with a gel electrolyte are unlikely to perform any better than wet-acid types. Also be aware that when recharging a gel battery, the charge voltage must not exceed 14.2V. Information on charging requirements is a subject in its own right.

As mentioned earlier, AGM batteries are unusual in that they can act as starter batteries as well as leisure products. For instance, some recent cars are fitted with a supporting AGM second battery to run the many electronic aids now being installed. Similarly, their notable performance is recognised by caravanners wanting a task-specific support battery to specifically run a motor mover. Scottish Highlands - AB36-38, AB55-56, FK17-21, IV1-39, IV52-54, IV63, KW1-14, PA21-40, PH19-26, PH30-41, PH49-50 The 12V equipment in a caravan or motorhome relies on a leisure battery. This important item is not normally supplied with a new caravan whereas most new motorhomes have one as standard. Batteries that are designed to start a vehicle are made differently from batteries specifically intended to run caravanning appliances. This is because their operating requirements are different. For instance a vehicle battery has to provide a high current surge to start an engine, but once that has been achieved, a vehicle’s alternator immediately replenishes the power it provided. Upgrade your vehicle's power system with the Exide 017 Car Battery 12V 95Ah. Enjoy reliable performance, durability and peace of mind knowing that your cars electrical needs are efficiently met.

Lead Acid - Lead Acid is the most common type. They require maintenance and need venting. They take damage if left to run flat. Valve Regulated Lead Acid batteries operate in the same way but do not require venting. Enhanced Flooded Batteries - EFB products are an enhanced version of standard lead acid technology. They offer improved charge acceptance and greater durability with charge cycles. Each compartment houses a series of positive and negative lead plates. These have a grid construction so that lead oxide paste can be pressed into all the apertures. Dynamic Silver car batteries are a great all-rounder, providing more power than our blue range at great value. Suitable for many manufacturers such as Ford, Vauxhall, Renault, Citroen, VW, Peugeot, BMW, Audi, Skoda, Volvo, Honda, Fiat and many more. They offer excellent cold start performance and reliability.Now you need to interpret the reading and although we talk about 12V batteries and accessories, this description is only nominal. If a leisure battery achieves a 12V reading, it is considered to have reached a discharged state. As Lifesure notes, the best leisure batteries also can smooth out and correct irregularities in a power supply. How long should a battery last? If you have recently disconnected a charger or have been driving a motorhome or towing, a reading will be higher than normal. After a battery has been receiving a charge, it is recommended to let it settle for at least four hours before taking a voltage reading.
