Are all lead-acid batteries alike?
What’s inside the battery makes a difference. Batteries are built with plates made of lead, alloys and lead oxide. During the life of a battery, plates are charged and discharged thousands of times. The quality of the materials, workmanship, and special design features in the manufacturing process can make a significant difference in a battery’s performance. Calcium lead alloys, demineralized electrolyte, and durable separator materials are just a few of the internal components that distinguish the quality of batteries.
