It doesn't matter what type of surface your car or truck battery rests on. Over time, all lead-acid units will naturally discharge. Only the temperature of the electrolyte and the plate chemistry will have an impact on the rate of self-discharge. This applies to all lead-acid makes and models, from a Nissan to a Fiat model.
Yes. A car or boat battery is recharged when the vehicle's engine is in motion. However, a short inner-city trip or leaving your car idle in the driveway isn't going to be able to fully recharge your standard Mazda, Ford or any other type of vehicle battery. As such, it may require periodic recharging in addition to the charging that occurs while driving.
Despite popular perception, a lead-acid vehicle battery can explode under certain circumstances. Charging a wet lead-acid unit can cause electrolysis of the water, which produces oxygen and hydrogen gasses. These gases can be ignited if sparks are created with jumping, connecting or disconnecting charging cables, which leads to an explosion. Starting explosions are most commonly caused by loose terminal clamps.
Car and truck battery units stabilise or 'filter' the voltage produced by the alternator. As such, disconnection can cause peak voltage to rise, which can destroy electronic components or the charging system. This was an accepted practice many decades ago, but because charging systems have changed since then, this is no longer the case.
Both high and low temperatures can have an impact. Hot climates will, on average, reduce the life of units by one third, while cold reduces the starting capacity. It is also important to note that "warming up" your car or truck battery on cold days by turning on headlights is not recommended. Doing this reduces the available capacity that can be used to start a cold engine.
A battery is a source of electrical energy. Its smallest unit is called a (galvanic) cell. A battery usually consists of several individual cells electrically connected in series. The chemical energy as stored in each cell is converted directly into electrical energy when its terminals are connected to an electrical consumer.
During recent years, use of environmentally benign solar energy has increased. Solar energy systems are easy to install, easy to expand, and easy to disassemble. They are economical as well, since there are no energy costs during operation. In addition, solar energy systems are subject to virtually no mechanical wear. A solar energy system requires a reliable solar battery for charge acceptance and storage.
Whether you use your vehicle for work or transport, ensuring that it starts when it needs to is vital. With a vehicle battery from Modbury Battery & Electrical in Ridgehaven you can be sure that you'll have power when you need it.
