13 best cars batteries

Car batteries are a crucial component in any vehicle, providing the electrical energy required to start the engine and power various electrical systems. Here's what you need to know about car batteries:

  1. Function: The primary function of a car battery is to store and supply electrical energy to start the engine. It also powers the vehicle's lights, radio, air conditioning, and other electrical accessories when the engine is not running.

  2. Chemistry: Most car batteries use lead-acid chemistry, which includes lead dioxide as the positive plate, sponge lead as the negative plate, and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. This chemistry is reliable and cost-effective.

  3. Voltage: Car batteries typically produce 12 volts of direct current (VDC). This voltage is used to start the engine and power the vehicle's electrical systems.

  4. Capacity: Car batteries come in various capacities, measured in ampere-hours (Ah) or reserve capacity (RC). A higher capacity indicates the battery can deliver more electrical energy and support accessories for a longer time when the engine is off.

  5. Maintenance: Some car batteries require regular maintenance, such as adding distilled water to the cells to maintain the electrolyte level. However, many modern car batteries are maintenance-free, sealed units.

  6. Lifespan: The lifespan of a car battery varies but is typically around 3 to 5 years. Factors affecting battery life include climate, driving habits, and maintenance.

  7. Charging: Car batteries are charged by the vehicle's alternator while the engine is running. They can also be charged using external battery chargers designed for automotive use.

  8. Jump Starting: In case the car battery is discharged and cannot start the engine, jump starting can be done using jumper cables and another vehicle with a working battery or a portable jump starter. This provides a temporary boost of power to start the engine.

  9. Replacement: When a car battery no longer holds a charge or fails to start the vehicle reliably, it needs to be replaced. It's essential to choose a battery that matches the specifications recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

  10. Environmental Considerations: Car batteries contain lead and sulfuric acid, which are hazardous materials. Proper disposal and recycling of old car batteries are essential to protect the environment.

  11. Types: There are different types of car batteries, including traditional flooded lead-acid batteries, absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries, and gel-cell batteries. AGM batteries are known for their superior performance and are commonly used in modern vehicles.

  12. Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): CCA is a rating that indicates a battery's ability to start an engine in cold temperatures. It's an important consideration, especially in regions with harsh winters.

  13. Battery Chargers: Battery chargers for cars are devices designed to recharge a discharged battery.They come in various types, including trickle chargers, jump starters with built-in chargers, and intelligent chargers that monitor and maintain the battery's health.

Understanding your vehicle's battery and its maintenance requirements is crucial for ensuring reliable vehicle operation. Regular inspection, proper charging, and timely replacement when needed can help extend the life of your car battery and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines

The RedTop high-performance AGM battery is the ultimate starting battery designed to deliver a powerful burst of ignition power for a reliable start-up every time. It will withstand hard launches, extreme corners and is race proven for every road every day whether it's used as a truck battery, automotive battery, or for other applications. Its reputation as a truck battery or automotive battery is unsurpassed.

SpiralCell Technology

At the heart of every OPTIMA battery is a series of individual spiral-wound cells comprised of two pure (99.99%) lead plates coated in a precise coating of lead oxide. One coated plate is positive and the other is negative.

The unique manufacturing process of spiral winding continuous lead plates is far more precision-controlled and expensive than building traditional flat plate AGM batteries. Custom automated cell-winding machines are required to maintain the close tolerances required to maintain quality and performance. Critical tolerances, temperatures, humidity and automated processes are maintained and constantly monitored.

OPTIMA has built over 100 million individual spiral cells since the early 1990’s.

RedTop

For normal engine starting where an alternator immediately monitors the state of charge and provides energy to the battery whenever it is needed.

This would describe most stock vehicles, including: automotive and RV underhood starting, heavy equipment where starting is the primary function, and diesel vehicles without aftermarket electronics.

YellowTop

Use this when electrical loads are higher than average, or when the discharge cycle is more than typical engine starting, such as vehicles with multiple electronic accessories and vehicles without alternators. This can also include vehicles with a lot of factory electronics such as power sliding doors and a DVD player. Examples also include: racing vehicles without a charging system, dedicated drag racers, diesel powered vehicles with aftermarket electronics, and vehicles with inverters, winches, or other accessories.

BlueTop

The BlueTop starting battery (dark gray case) is to be used when a dedicated starting battery is required and it should never be used for cycling duty. Use a BlueTop starting battery for marine applications and RVs when the battery's only function is engine starting.

The dual purpose BlueTop (light gray case) can be used for both starting and deep cycling -- it is a true deep cycle battery with extremely high cranking power. Uses include: trolling motors, marine applications with heavy electrical accessories, and RVs.

This would describe most stock vehicles, including: automotive and RV underhood starting, heavy equipment where starting is the primary function, and diesel vehicles without aftermarket electronics.

YellowTop

Use this when electrical loads are higher than average, or when the discharge cycle is more than typical engine starting, such as vehicles with multiple electronic accessories and vehicles without alternators. This can also include vehicles with a lot of factory electronics such as power sliding doors and a DVD player. Examples also include: racing vehicles without a charging system, dedicated drag racers, diesel powered vehicles with aftermarket electronics, and vehicles with inverters, winches, or other accessories.

BlueTop

The BlueTop starting battery (dark gray case) is to be used when a dedicated starting battery is required and it should never be used for cycling duty. Use a BlueTop starting battery for marine applications and RVs when the battery's only function is engine starting.

The dual purpose BlueTop (light gray case) can be used for both starting and deep cycling -- it is a true deep cycle battery with extremely high cranking power. Uses include: trolling motors, marine applications with heavy electrical accessories, and RVs.

User questions & answers

Question: instead of doing a jump start can you plug this unit either into your cigarette lighter or hook it up to your car battery and do a slow charge of your
Answer: Yes
Question: how long are the cables
Answer: Possibly a bad battery. Or a drain on the batteries. My charger flashes through the charging cycles, within 24 hours per battery they go green and are charged. Unless you have a drain and it can’t fully charge it - i.e. fridge is still on. Then it would always be pulling a charge and never fully charge
Question: How is the unit charged
Answer: It will provide a continuous trickle charge. It depends on how fast your battery is draining as to whether or not it will keep up.
Question: Will this jump a dead battery
Answer: I would say something is probably wrong with the battery. I’ve never had the whole charging process take more than 10-12 hours.

Product description

Battery

  • Note: Refer a user manual before use
  • Durable design protects against the worst enemy of a truck battery – road vibration (compared to standard flooded batteries)
  • Calcium alloy is optimized to produce a fine grain, corrosion-resistant grid, maximize cycle life and minimizes water consumption for battery durability
  • Fully charged ACDelco Batteries (OCV is >12.5) should be stored in an upright position at temperatures between 32°F and 70°F. When a battery is stored, a very slow chemical reaction takes place between the plate materials and the electrolyte, causing a slow discharge. This reaction, called a self-discharge, occurs more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, it is not recommended to store next to a furnace or other heat source. If an ACDelco Battery is completely discharged, the electrolyte will freeze when stored below 30°F. To prevent electrolyte freezing and battery damage, do not store ACDelco Batteries below 30°F if their OCV is less than 12.5 volts. Check battery every 2 months and maintain a voltage of 12.4 volts or higher

User questions & answers

Question: Does this battery ship charged? Can it go straight from Shipping into the car without any charging
Answer: You should ALWAYS charge a battery before installing it. Most are delivered below 100% charged. You need to use a microprocessor based smart charger that is capable of charging an AGM battery! Do not charge an AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery with a traditional SLI (starting lighting & ignition) lead acid battery charger. Batteryminder has a very affordable smart charger that will safely charge AGM and SLI. Batteryminder model 1500. Good luck
Question: Will this fit a 2009 prius without modifications
Answer: I bought this battery because the previous response to fitting on a 2009 Prius. It does NOT fit in my 2009 Prius- it is 1.5 inches too long. I am hoping to return it.
Question: Is this battery fits in 2008 smart key prius
Answer: This is a perfect fit for a 2008 Toyota Prius. I installed it a couple of weeks ago and it has performed fine. It seems like the car's fuel economy went up a little also. I watched a couple of videos online that showed installation of battery and would recommend that if your during a self installation.
Question: What is a smart key
Answer: A Prius equipped with smart key entry sends out a radio signal looking for a remote key. When you approach your car with the remote on you the car senses it and allows you to open the doors and start the car with out a key. This is important for the battery because, unless you disable it, the car transponder runs constantly and you need a deep discharge battery. It is recommended that you disable smart key if you are parking longer than a couple days to avoid depleting the 12 volt battery. The disable switch is on the dash below the steering column. This is fully described in the owners manual.

Answer: Yes it will work on the smaller bowling balls. We have tried it. Thanks, Gary, PYB Inc.
Question: In inches, what is the maximum length measurement
Answer: About one month,easy on and off. This wax works best for dark colors, mirror finish.
Question: Will this fit 2005 corvette
Answer: Did 2 coats on my black '05 PT Cruiser convertible May 2015, applies & removes remarkably easily. By the last wash before putting away for season in October, the water beading properties were not nearly as crisp as when first applied, but still ok. Microfiber towels are a must, good deals on Amazon for those in 24 & 36 counts packs. Doing a more through job this year, Mothers Clay bar first, then Mothers 07100 California Gold polish, followed by the Mothers California Gold synthetic wax. Best money spent to get a deeper looking, longer lasting shine without the DA polisher, which will be my next car waxing investment at the end of 2016. Hope this over-explanation helps!!

User questions & answers

Question: What is the difference between the sc1280, sc1281, sc1323 and sc
Answer: The length of warranty on paper doesn’t matter because getting them to act on it is difficult. They wanted me to send the charger to them at my cost and wait without a charger for 6?weeks
Question: Can this be used to charge lawn tractor batteries
Answer: Yes, they are plastic. And Yes the break. My negative terminal just snapped in half... Not happy. Why couldn’t they just use metal??
Question: What is the warranty on this product
Answer: It will work with any brand of battery.
Question: Want to charge battery in vehical (suv). is it safe to do in enclosed garage? thinking yes, but please confirm
Answer: The clamps are metal on the inside (obviously), and a durable plastic on the outside as insulating covers. Looks to be pretty durable, I've had no problems with them. But then, I tend to take care of my toys! :-) This unit, by the way, was an excellent investment...after having owned several less-capable chargers. This one restored my Yellow Top battery back to its full capacity in short order! I own a Tahoe Hybrid and had installed the Yellow Top as a result of standard batteries not holding a full charge after a year or two, and often draining when not running the Tahoe at least once every 4-5 days or so. Can connect full-time to the battery the accompanying cable, making the use of clamps unnecessary! Just have to remember to unplug it!

Answer: Will this work with a 2018 Porsche macan
Question: What’s the difference between this mxs 5.0 charger and a mus
Answer: Don't agree with D. Raupp: the number is not the amps it can put out but likely a number larger that 4.3 to show that it's a newer version in their line up. This charger is the next generation of the 4.3 with updated features/improvements, also with an added feature - the temperature sensing/adjustment. Called CTEK today and they said that 5.0 replaces the 4.3 which they are phasing out. This unit charges with several different amps: 0.8A; 4.3A; 2.5A; and 1.5A and switches automatically between them depending on which phase of the charge cycle it is in.
