Trick Choosing the Right Battery?

Antimonial Battery

Jakarta - Sometimes we are puzzled by the choice of type / model of battery for the vehicle we need to be replaced when a new battery. There are several types / models, such as wet battery, MF battery, dry battery, battery calcium, and so on.
Through this article, I will try to explain one by one so we can select the appropriate battery / desired.
Aki Basah (Antimonial Battery)
Battery is the most widely used on vehicles today. These batteries contain battery acid (sulfuric acid / sulfuric acid). In wet batteries, there is a hole with a lid that can be opened and closed to add battery acid. Air battery can be reduced when the battery is used.This happens because the chemical reaction between the water inside the battery cell battery with battery.


The advantages of using battery Wet:

Can use the 'vitamin batteries' in the form of tablets sold in the store accessories or EDTA solution, to extend the life of the battery. Prices are relatively cheaper than other battery types.
Disadvantages Aki Wet:

Mandatory check battery water levels periodically, if battery acid is under the LOW level, can damage the battery cells. Have high levels of Self-Discharge at large (0.8-1.0% volume / day)
Aki Hybrid (Hybrid Battery)
Hybrid battery, similar to wet battery. The difference lies in the material on the components of cells / plate grid. Low-Battery Hybrid uses Antimonial on the grid plate (+) and Calcium on the grid plate (-).
Hybrid battery Advantages:

Relatively better with Aki Basah (Antimonial Battery).Hybrid battery shortage

Have high levels of Self-Discharge of large (0.5-0.6% volume / day).
Aki Calcium (Calcium Battery)
Is a battery that uses calcium in the grid plate (+) and (-).


 Advantages Aki Calcium:

Having a good performance compared to batteries and Hybrid Antimonial above. Having durability / service life is good. (Durable).Self-Discharge Rate smallest (0.1-0.2% (volume / day)Aki Calcium deficiency:

Relatively more expensive
Aki MAINTENANCE FREE (MF)
Referred to MF battery, battery is a product that uses a special design so as to suppress the evaporation of the water battery.Thus, no batteries required the addition of water again.
MF battery can be either battery or battery Hybrid calcium.


Advantages Aki MF:

No batteries needed recharging water
Aki SEALED
Calcium is a battery that uses the grid plate (+) and (-), with insulation in the form of nets (mat) which absorbs the liquid electrolyte (usually a gel), with a sealed battery pack (sealed).When there is evaporation / gas, will be absorbed by the mat, so there is no reduction in the amount of liquid electrolyte. Aki is often called the battery dry.
Sealed Battery Advantages:Maintenance-free (maintenance free)Good job performance.Sealed Battery Disadvantages:Prices are very expensiveNot placed at a high temperature resistantMisguided: Dry and MF Battery
Often misunderstood one between the battery and dry battery Maintenance Free (MF).
MF batteries contain a liquid electrolyte that exactly match the battery wet. Only the packaging is made closed, no water filling hole battery. Similar to Dry Battery (Accu Sealed). While using liquid Gel Sealed Battery (condensed) in it.
The price difference between Aki MF with Sealed batteries big enough. Sealed batteries are much more expensive than the MF battery.
CONCLUSION:

If the battery is placed in the engine room bulkhead without anti-heat, you should not use the battery type Sealed / Gel because these batteries can not stand high temperatures.Aki calcium very good performance.Aki has a calcium level of the smallest Self-DischargeSelect the appropriate battery car factory recommended code or select the same code with the previous battery, for example: NS70Choose the battery that long warranty (one year or more), new exchange directly damagedBe careful a lot of fake batteriesWe recommend that you periodically check the battery condition to the garage / store batteries with specialized toolssource: detik.com
