Exide Excell EB950 95Ah Car Battery Maintenance Free

Product Information

Cost is the issue, they can typically be more than five times the price of a good quality lead-acid battery. Maintenance-free batteries 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.

Products made differently such as gel, lead-crystal, lithium and AGM batteries are mentioned later in this guide. Introducing the Exide 017 Car Battery 12V 95Ah - your reliable power solution for your vehicle's electrical needs. Designed with advanced technology and unmatched performance, this battery is a perfect fit for a wide range of car models.This 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 Let’s take an example. If a battery which is nominally rated at 60Ah is operating in temperatures of 15C, this ten degree reduction will bring about a 10 per cent reduction in its capacity. This now means that it effectively performs like a 54Ah battery. The temperature issue can have adverse effects for caravan and motorhome users who enjoy winter sports. Not only will a battery face greater demands when providing their lighting, fan-assisted heating, and evening TV entertainment during long, dark evenings; its effective capacity is significantly lower than it would be in warmer conditions. Firstly, it's a great idea to line up your most-used electrical items and find out how much power they'll use up. Obviously, if you're topping up your onboard heating with a portable oil-filled radiator in the winter, you'll need to have factored that into your battery requirements. Caravan Motorhome has put together a handy equation that should help guide you to which leisure battery is best for your needs: The classification of every Halfords’ battery is clearly marked giving you confidence that you’re buying a battery that’s fit for purpose and will provide you with the performance and the power you’re paying for - not leaving you short changed and underpowered.

Class B - Medium capacity for those who often use mains hook-up but also need to run more power-hungry devices like motor movers or heaters. In contrast, a leisure battery has to provide a steady flow of current over a prolonged period and seldom gets replenished until the user recognises that its voltage level has substantially fallen. That’s when a re-charge is duly provided. If left long in a discharged state, a battery will generally not regain its former condition. Furthermore, manufacturers often recommend that re-charging is commenced when a battery drops to 50 per cent of its full condition. The Exide 017 Car Battery 12V 95Ah delivers a strong consistent power supply, ensuring a smooth start every time. Whether you're heading out on a long road trip or just running daily errands, this battery provides the reliable energy your car requires.

Why VARTA® Professional Dual Purpose AGM batteries?

An AGM battery has lead plates in each cell and the manufacturer uses a machine to add highly compressed glass fibre into each compartment. The fibre then absorbs the acid electrolyte. During manufacture, air is also drawn from the casing and a pressure relief valve is fitted. These processes render the finished product more costly than a conventional ‘wet lead-acid’ leisure battery but AGM products can generally achieve many more recharging cycles – thereby achieving a longer working life. Leisure batteries power those travel essentials, like fridges, phones and televisions. Used in boats, caravans and motorhomes, leisure batteries are built to consistently deliver 12v power - perfect for your home appliances outside of your home. 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. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) batteries are another form of very deep cycle battery. They're self contained units with their own on-board charge manager. Having elminated lead they typically weigh half as much as an equivelant output lead-acid battery so the weight saving is a benefit. They can also be fully discharged and recharged and during the discharge cycle they can retain a stable voltage level and they can be rapidly recharged.
