Extron Battery
A car is a car is a car…. but the role of battery in your car is very important. You may think that it’s a small part in a car but be assured that it’s responsible for running the vehicle smoothly. An automotive battery provides electric power to the electricity powered engine and that’s how you start your car. The battery has several other functions like providing power to the infotainment system in the car, powering the headlight, etc. When the engine runs, it charges the battery in the car. So, after numerous cycles when the battery will eventually die, you have to replace it.
There are several types of car batteries available in the market. Go for the one that suits your requirements.
Starting, Lighting, and Ignition Batteries (SLI)
• Most of the vehicles you see on the road come with starting, lighting, and ignition batteries or SLI batteries.
• Apart from starting the car SLI powers all the electronics like the interior and exterior lights, infotainment system, etc in the car.
• SLI batteries have very short charge cycle and then discharge is fairly less also.
• SLI battery is capable of delivering power in short bursts of time like the starter motor of start the car.
• The SLI batteries are made up of 6 galvanic cells in a series format which forms a system and provides 12-volts approximately.
• Each galvanic cell provides 2.1 volts to give a total output of about 12.6 volts at full charge.
Things to remember before you go for a battery
• The voltage in a factory charged battery is around 12.6 Volts and it refers to the amount of energy stored in the battery.
• On the other hand the current is the rate at which charge flows and is measured in amps in your car battery.
• The most common type of batteries used in Indian cars is the Lead-acid battery or the conventional battery. These batteries consist of several plates immersed in an electrolyte solution.
• The electrolyte is a solution in the battery which constitutes 65% water and 35% sulphuric acid.
