Exide Excell EB950 95Ah Car Battery Maintenance Free

Product Information

Absorbent Glass Mat - Absorbent Glass Mat, or AGM, combines compressed glass fibres with acid. This extends that battery's lifespan. As sealed units, maintenance is of a minimum. They can sit on their ends and sides, just not upside down. Therefore, an AGM charger is required; and these units tend to be more expensive than Deep Cycle batteries.

Modern cars often require more powerful batteries to power air conditioning stop/start systems sat navs in-car DVD players and phones. The following options are available in the Yuasa range. We are unable to ship to the following post codes on any service but may be able to obtain a quote:As with any battery, the elements of a leisure battery degrade over time and the performance will decrease. We recommend you replace your battery after five years, even if the battery is holding up well. Can I use a car battery? Regardless of the type of technology a leisure battery has on the inside, they're normally grouped into categories based on their best use case.

Conventional lead-acid starter and leisure batteries have inspection caps so that the level of acid can be inspected in each of the cells. This also enables the cells to be topped-up using de-ionised water (also sold for steam irons) so that the electrolyte just covers the top of the lead plates. The engine size is primary. A larger engine uses a larger starter motor and needs more battery power to turn it over first thing of a cold morning. Other factors include the number of cylinders the engine has, each of which needs converted energy to create a spark for combustion. 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. Gel - Like AGMs, Gel batteries are sealed units so can be laid on their side. They are leakproof and can recharge if ran flat (though still not advised). Gel batteries are the safest option and are commonly in campervans and motorhomes from Europe. They are one of the most expensive battery types. Class A - Higher capacity batteries for those who frequently spend extended time away from an electrical hook-up.Treat any item that delivers power with some care and attention. Store batteries in a safe and dry location. Also, ensure that the terminals are greased. In consequence, it cannot cope with repeated heavy discharge and recharge cycles. Conversely, a standard ‘wet’ leisure battery doesn’t perform well as a starter battery either. The battery power used during the starting up process is then replaced by the alternator, which supplies the bulk of electrical current to your car's electrical systems, keeping your battery fully charged.

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. 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. Category C is for users that require a lower capacity battery to cover basic operation of their habitation equipment for short periods away from a hook-up 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. Terminal Layout: Negative (-) on left, Positive (+) on right ; with the terminals on the edge of the battery closest to youThis is why a caravan’s 12V accessories should not be run directly from a charger – i.e. without a battery installed in the supply system. Battery anatomy Needless-to-say, if a battery box is mounted inside, heat in the living area will help to improve its performance. However, many batteries are mounted externally where ambient temperatures can be much lower. 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. Trust Exide, a trusted name in the automotive industry, to power your journey Your car uses the battery for 2 main purposes (1) the Engine (2) the Electrics such as lights, wipers, satellite navigation, stereo and so on. Semi traction and traction batteries (also referred to as deep cycling batteries, lead-acid batteries, wet batteries).

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. Scottish Islands - HS1-9, IV40-51, IV55-56, KA27-28, KW15-17, PA20, PA41-49, PA60-78, PH42-44, ZE1-3 This gives your typical daily consumption. It is surprising how much power is required and how we take it for granted. Heavy consumption equipment like motor movers will have a detrimental effect on the battery performance for the reasons explained below. So, for example, if you are planning on caravanning and would like to make sure that you can watch TV for 3 hours, your equation would look like this:Moreover, in a genuine leisure battery, these envelopes also contain glass fibre sheets to press against the lead oxide paste held in each plate. This combats the tendency during constant re-charging for the paste to become loosened and then completely detachedfrom the lead grid. Most caravan control panels have a light display or battery condition meter, some of which don’t provide a precise indication of its charge level. More accurate information is obtained by taking a reading across a battery’s terminals using a digital meter. When using a hand-held meter, note the following points:
