Fitting and everyday care

The lead-acid technology explained
Charging reverses the chemistry and restores the plates. Fleet vehicles often use flooded batteries for value. Avoid deep discharges, which encourage sulphation.
Other options with identical dimensions
If you prefer another make, these fit the same space with the same terminal side.

Is this enough battery for a cold start?
