Q. |
What are the different types of batteries? |
| A. |
Here are the different types of batteries you
can purchase:
| Lead-acid
batteries |
| Requires maintenance. |
Liquid electrolyte that needs to be
periodically checked and filled with distilled water (as
needed). Has to be mounted upright (will leak through
caps if mounted in any other position).
Considered hazardous material. |
| |
| AGM
absorbed glass-mat batteries |
| Maintenance-free. |
| Sealed battery that has all of its
electrolyte absorbed in fiberglass separators consisting
of a sponge-like mass of matted glass fibers. Operates
under pressure to force the hydrogen and oxygen gases
produced during charging to recombine into water, eliminating
the need to periodically add water to the battery. Spill-proof,
leak-proof, can be mounted in any position and can be
shipped via regular freight carriers. |
| |
| Gel-cell
batteries |
| Maintenance-free. |
Sealed battery that uses gelled electrolyte
technology. Operates under pressure to force the hydrogen
and oxygen gases produced during charging to recombine
into water, eliminating the need to periodically add water
to the battery.
Spill-proof, leak-proof, can be mounted in any position
and can be shipped via regular freight carriers. |

Q. |
What are the different sizes of batteries?
|
A. |
These are the different size batteries you
can get:
Group 24
Group 27
Group 31
Group 4D
Group 8D
(Group size is determined by dimensions and amp hour capacity.)

| Q. |
What types of batteries can your chargers handle?
|
| A. |
You can use any of the above battery types on our chargers.
Our chargers are factory set for lead-acid batteries. The settings
depend on the type of charger (different models may have different
settings), but most of our chargers have a lead-acid and a gel-cell
setting. AGM batteries will charge at the lead-acid setting
(NOT the gel setting). |
