Exide Excell EB950 95Ah Car Battery Maintenance Free

Product Information

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. 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. As mentioned earlier, AGM batteries are unusual in that they can act as starter batteries as well as leisure products. For instance, some recent cars are fitted with a supporting AGM second battery to run the many electronic aids now being installed. Similarly, their notable performance is recognised by caravanners wanting a task-specific support battery to specifically run a motor mover.

Scottish Islands - HS1-9, IV40-51, IV55-56, KA27-28, KW15-17, PA20, PA41-49, PA60-78, PH42-44, ZE1-3 As with any battery, the elements of a leisure battery degrade over time and the performance will decrease. We recommend you replace your battery after five years, even if the battery is holding up well. Can I use a car battery? Good battery performance is important because problems during the warranty period tarnish customer satisfaction. Any service requirement during that time is recorded and the number is published in trade magazines. This data is of great interest among prospective car buyers throughout the world.As its name suggests there's broadly the same basic chemistry going with a reaction between lead and an acid but with these the acid is in a crystal form. This means there's very little liquid content with no risk of spillage making them safe to transport. The unique chemistry enables them to be very deep cycled with little risk of sulphation. They can be be around twice the price of a good quality deep-cycle battery but as they were originally designed for UPS use they're robust against continuous charging from a solar supply and can tolerate heavy discharge loads from an inverter for example. Apply a thin film of grease or petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline, to a battery’s terminals (see right). Portable solar power has gained a lot of traction in recent years. However, they're better suited to keeping smaller power stations topped up for powering gadgets like phones and laptops. Plus, with solar, there's no guarantee that you'll have enough sunlight to keep up with heavy usage. Your car uses the battery for 2 main purposes (1) the Engine (2) the Electrics such as lights, wipers, satellite navigation, stereo and so on. Leisure batteries are mostly used for motorhomes and caravans, and marine use. They sit at 12v - and only 12v (except for power stations with built-in inverters for mains power). They release their charge in a controlled, smooth flow. Standard leisure batteries are typically used with low-power devices. Depending on their Class rating and capacity, they can be used with kettles and TVs, fans and lights.

Category C is for users that require a lower capacity battery to cover basic operation of their habitation equipment for short periods away from a hook-up 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. When inspecting battery cells, wear safety clothing including eye protection and gloves. Battery acid also damages clothing. Never leave a battery in a discharged state. If recharging is delayed, a situation known as sulphation occurs in which a white deposit forms on a battery’s plates. In general this is an incurable condition, which renders a battery useless.

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. Needless-to-say, if a battery box is mounted inside, heat in the living area will help to improve its performance. However, many batteries are mounted externally where ambient temperatures can be much lower. Upgrade your vehicle's power system with the Exide 017 Car Battery 12V 95Ah. Enjoy reliable performance, durability and peace of mind knowing that your cars electrical needs are efficiently met. Trust Exide, a trusted name in the automotive industry, to power your journey 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. Cost is the issue, they can typically be more than five times the price of a good quality lead-acid battery. Maintenance-free batteries

Modern cars often require more powerful batteries to power air conditioning stop/start systems sat navs in-car DVD players and phones. The following options are available in the Yuasa range. Lithium - Lithium batteries are durable and perform well at extreme temperatures. They're maintenance free too. They are a modern alternative to other types and sort more energy with less weight. They can also deliver accurate data for power monitoring. They are, however, more expensive. Battery class categories 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: Category A is for higher storage capacity for people who frequently use their caravans or motorhomes away from electrical hook-ups As Lifesure notes, the best leisure batteries also can smooth out and correct irregularities in a power supply. How long should a battery last?

For example : If a light bulb used only 1 ampere in an hour then a 50Ah battery could light up 50 light bulbs for an hour. Alternatively it could power 1 light bulb for 50 hours*

Terminal Layout: Negative (-) on left, Positive (+) on right ; with the terminals on the edge of the battery closest to you 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.Conventional lead-acid starter and leisure batteries have inspection caps so that the level of acid can be inspected in each of the cells. This also enables the cells to be topped-up using de-ionised water (also sold for steam irons) so that the electrolyte just covers the top of the lead plates. Each compartment creates a nominal 2.12V, thereby creating a total of around 12.7V for a fully-charged battery. The greater amount of lead in a genuine leisure battery and its more elaborate separators is reflected in its higher price and increased weight. Non-wet leisure batteries Moreover, in a genuine leisure battery, these envelopes also contain glass fibre sheets to press against the lead oxide paste held in each plate. This combats the tendency during constant re-charging for the paste to become loosened and then completely detachedfrom the lead grid.
