And this is where we can find the problem: if the equipment is faulty, has a ground problem or a short (connection of positive and negative), the battery with greater capacity will provide more intensity than a normal one and could damage part of the electronics ( although electronic systems are usually protected by fuses, precisely to avoid these situations).

If you start to notice your car’s engine isn’t quite behaving properly – for example, it doesn’t always start first time, you can hear it whirring but it doesn’t actually start or you can’t turn it on at all, it’s likely time to change your battery. The average car battery will have an Ah rating somewhere around 50Ah. The 50Ah means that it can push 12 volts out at a rate of 50 amperes in an hour. Your car uses the battery for 2 main purposes (1) the Engine (2) the Electrics such as lights, wipers, satellite navigation, stereo and so on. The Halfords start/stop batteries come fully charged and ready to fit. Most vehicles require this battery to be registered with the on-board computer system. Therefore, a professional fitting at a Halfords store, autocentre garage or through our Mobile Fitting Service is strongly recommended. Learn more about our Mobile Fitting Services here. Features & Benefits: The AGM car battery EK800 is ideal for vehicles with a modern start-stop and regenerative braking system and is approved by the car manufacturer. The acid is leak-proof bound in a glass fleece and the unique carbon additive makes this battery extremely powerful and durable. Replace Varta F21 Silver Dynamic AGM. Benefits of the Exide EK800 Car Battery:Although this is not always the case, because the battery design can be different, a battery with a higher capacity will also have a higher CCA, which could be said to be the maximum intensity it can provide in an instant. That does not mean that he is able to provide it in all situations, only when the team needs it.

In theory, a battery that has 100Ah could give a current intensity of 100 Amps for 1 hour, an intensity of 1 Ampere for 100 hours, or 2 Amps for 50 hours. However, this is not always the case, as the faster a battery discharges, the more power it loses. Therefore, it is common to find batteries that have the following capacity: Then, you can choose which battery you want according to the manufacturer and price. Make sure you look out for features such as guarantees. In a car, everything that is connected to the battery is prepared to operate at a voltage of 12V. What would happen, therefore, if we could connect a 24V battery or 2 12V batteries in series? After all that has been seen, the answer is simple: if we double the voltage, the current intensity would also increase twice and we would run the risk of burning or damaging everything that is connected to the battery. Voltage: As the resistance of what we have connected to the battery is fixed, the higher voltage we have, the more current we can provide. Or put another way, the voltage will determine the current intensity and the higher the voltage, the more intensity we will give.

In short, if we install a higher capacity battery, we will increase battery life, improve starting and, in addition, we will be able to use the electronic equipment of our vehicle for a longer time. However, what happens if we don't have a space to install a larger battery? As with most things, it’s always worth shopping around to make sure you’re getting the best product, at the best price. Choosing the right battery for your car will help ensure your car performs as it should as well as minimise the risk of costly breakdowns. We constantly price match our batteries but from time to time you may find a like for like battery at a lower price. If this is the case please let us know as we will do our very best to beatthat price.
