Know Your Batteries Technology

Batteries, is one of the main components on the car, Disturbances in the batteries could have an impact on car electrical systems, especially for cars that use injection system. Voltage or voltage is not stable for long periods can accelerate battery life, so choosing the correct battery and perform maintenance on a regular basis, is one way to reduce interference with the batteries.

In the car, the batteries are a source of energy that serves to run electrical devices. As innovation and technology in the automotive field, then, was growing rapidly Batteries technology to suit the needs of the energy supply needed vehicles. Even technology that was developed battery manufacturers are now also considering ease of maintenance.
So, how to choose the batteries in accordance with the character of the car you use? Many brands on the market and consumer batteries of all brands the same regard, fact, could have batteries that are purchased not in accordance with the standard requirements on the car uses.
Broadly speaking, the batteries can be divided into three types. First, conventional batteries or known as wet batteries which require the addition of water or electrolyte that are relatively more frequent, then there is the hybrid batteries are classified as low maintenance. These types of batteries are considered maintenance easier because the addition of the batteries enough water between three to several months. And third, MF batteries or maintenance free type which does not need additional water batteries at all.
The main difference of the three types of battery technology lies in the intensity of evaporation of fluid in the battery, while large-size evaporation, largely determined the chemical content. The percentage content of lead (Pb) and calcium (Ca) is what distinguishes the types of conventional batteries, hybrid or MF.
Addition of Ca resulted in the Batteries evaporation can be reduced as small as possible. Calcium plays an important role to reduce the occurrence of excessive evaporation of electrolyte. Differences technology and composition that is what makes the price of these three different types of batteries, Type MF has the most expensive price compared to other types.
In conventional battery technology, the average positive and negative of each cell contain lead (Pb) 2.5%, while for Batteries hybrids, Pb content decreased to 1.7% in cells positive and negative cells was 1.7% but mixed with Ca. Especially for MF batteries, Pb content of 1.7% of cells remained positive, but negative cells do not contain Pb because it has been replaced by as much as 1.7% Ca.
From the material mixing process between lead and calcium, can be known Batteries -level care. The more calcium is used, the more free from care.
Now the need for high electrical currents on the output of new cars cannot be avoided thanks to the application of computer devices in cars such as the ECU (Electronic Control Unit), improved audio devices, as well as factors that cause automobile manufacturers demand batteries manufacturers develop new technologies, namely battery with a voltage of 42 Volt. Generally, the car uses 12-volt batteries that power produces only about 2.8 to 3 kilowatts.
It allows the use of power for the electric motor to drive some other tools that were previously driven by the engine. For example, air conditioning compressor, oil pump, water pump, power steering, and the regulator valve lid. Work into a lighter machine with vibration and noises are more subtle. Another advantage was the engine more fuel efficient.
