Automotive Batteries

When it comes to automotive batteries, choosing the right one is crucial for the performance and longevity of your vehicle. Here’s a breakdown of key information about automotive batteries and why Direct Tyres Penrose could be the right choice for purchasing your battery:

Key Information About Automotive Batteries:

1. Types of Automotive Batteries:

   • Flooded Lead Acid (FLA): Traditional and commonly used in most vehicles. These are cost-effective but require maintenance such as checking water levels.
   • Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM): A newer technology, AGM batteries are more efficient, have higher performance, and are maintenance-free. They are ideal for vehicles with high electrical demands.
   • Gel Batteries: Known for their deep-cycle capabilities, making them great for high-performance vehicles or those requiring deep discharge without damaging the battery.

2. Battery Life:

   • Most car batteries last between 3 to 5 years depending on usage and environmental factors (extreme temperatures, driving habits, etc.). Regular maintenance can extend battery life.

3. Signs You Need a New Battery:

   • Slow engine cranking
   • Dim headlights
   • A check engine or battery light illuminated
   • Corroded battery terminals
   • Frequent jump starts

4. Choosing the Right Battery:

   • Size and Fit: Make sure the battery fits the designated space in your vehicle and has the correct terminal configuration.
   • Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): A battery's CCA rating is essential for starting the engine, especially in cold weather.
   • Reserve Capacity (RC): This indicates how long the battery can power critical systems in case the alternator fails.
