Whats the difference between SVR batteries and traditional wet (flooded) batteries?
Wet batteries do not have special pressurized sealing vents, as they do not work on the recombination principle. They contain liquid electrolyte that can spill and cause corrosion if tipped or punctured. Therefore, they are not air transportable without special containers. They cannot be shipped via UPS or Parcel Post or used near sensitive electronic equipment. They can only be installed “upright.” Wet batteries lose capacity and become permanently damaged if: • left in a discharged condition for any length of time (due to sulfation). This is especially true of antimony and hybrid types. • continually over-discharged, due to active material shedding. This is especially true of automotive starting types. CARQUEST gel cells have triple the deep cycle life of wet cell antimony alloy deep cycle batteries, due to our unique design. The shelf life of a SVR battery is seven times higher than the shelf life of a deep cycle antimony battery.
