Types of batteries

First of all, it is important to determine the type of battery that best suits your needs. Here are some popular options:

• Lead-acid batteries: This is a traditional and affordable battery type. They are suitable for most cars and can be a budget-friendly option;
• EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery): These batteries are enhanced for vehicles with start-stop systems. They have some advantages over conventional lead-acid batteries and can still be budget-friendly;
• AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat): These batteries are suitable for modern cars with high power requirements. They are more expensive but offer a high level of reliability and durability.

Lead-acid batteries

Lead-acid batteries are the traditional and most common type, also known as “flooded” batteries. They use lead plates and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.

The main selection criteria:

Budget: Lead-acid batteries are the most affordable in terms of cost.
Performance: Well suited for standard vehicles without special power requirements.
Maintenance: Require regular checking of the electrolyte level and recharging.
Temperature range: Work in a wide range of temperatures.

Advantages:

Cost-effective.
Availability.
Excellent for both older cars and vehicles with standard needs.

EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) batteries

EFB batteries are an improved version of lead-acid batteries. Unlike lead-acid batteries, they have a number of advantages:
Start-stop systems: Ideal for vehicles with start-stop systems, as they are able to provide more discharge and charge cycles.
Long service life: Higher resistance to deep discharges.

Benefits:
Improved performance compared to lead-acid batteries.
High resistance to start-stop operation.
Suitable for vehicles with higher power consumption.

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries

AGM batteries are the most modern option for cars with high technological requirements. The main selection criteria:
Technology: Ideal for modern cars with a lot of electronics, such as hybrids and electric cars.
Long service life: Have low self-discharge and high cycle life.
Safety: AGM batteries are sealed and safe to use.

Advantages:
High capacity and performance.
Low self-discharge.
Excellent resistance to deep discharges.
Suitable for modern high-tech cars.

Important selection factors

There are also important things to consider when choosing a battery:

Power and capacity: Make sure the battery has enough power for your vehicle.

Climate conditions: Depending on the climate conditions in your region, you may need a battery with increased resistance to cold or heat.

Warranty: Check what kind of warranty is provided for the battery and its terms.

When choosing a battery for your car, consider all of the above factors and pay attention to your budget. We offer a wide range of affordable batteries to suit your needs. Budget batteries can be a great option for older vehicles or those looking for an economical option without the extra cost.
