The Battery Clinic Restored Batteries

Every wondered why some batteries are cheap while others so expensive ? Of course the answer is QUALITY! It is the same reason the LADA automobile is at one end of affordability while BMW is at the other. It is the same with batteries. While the basic chemical formulation is similar it is the trace additives in the formulation, the construction of the plates, container and manufacturing process that makes the difference. This is an Optima lead acid battery. It has solid electrolytes and the plates are spiral wound. This gives the battery the highest surface area available for electron flow also resulting in a very heavy battery for its' size. These on the other hand examples of standard batteries with plates submerge in liquid electrolyte. The majority of automotive batteries are of this type and construction. Even here design, formulation, construction and manufacturing process directly impacts the quality and performance of the battery. So, would you prefe
