It is also essential to know how to accurately measure the charge capacity of the battery in question. Of course this varies, but once you know precisely how much energy a battery can store at a given time, you can begin to EZ Battery Reconditioning assess the improvement you have made to its performanceThe importance of knowing how to revert a reversed cell cannot be overstated. It is one of the first things to evaluate about a dead battery. You won't be able to do anything with it until you have fixed the reversed cell.One of the best things to understand is exactly why it is that a battery needs reconditioning. A new battery develops a memory effect but, guess what, reconditioning a battery properly should dispel this effect completely. Now that is some feat and means it is possible to continually rejuvenate suspect batteries.Batteries are separated into two categories, by application (what the battery is used for) and construction (how the battery is built. Automotive, deep-cycle and marine are the major applications. There are others, but those three categories make up the bulk of battery applications. Deep-Cycle batteries are the battery of choice for most installations because of the way they are made. Deep-cycle batteries are made to be run completely down relatively fast, and recharged just as fast, constantly. The major applications for deep-cycle batteries are solar electric (PV), backup power source, and boat/RV batteries.
Gelled Batteries or Gel Cells are sealed, and some are valve regulated. They contain gelled acid that was gelled by adding silica gel, making like a battery acid jelly. If you have the space and especially the ventilation, the valves actually do help out on battery life. But ventilation is extremely important. However they have to be charged at a slower rate to prevent excess gas from destroying the cells. Usually, solar systems charge relatively slow, so this isn't really an issue, but if you have a aux. generator on your system, you have to limit the current. Most of the better made inverters handle this without a problem. If they are overcharges they will die quick.AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are similar to the gelled batteries but they also have fiberglass mat between the plates of the batter, which is then filled with gel. These batteries are the premier choice if you have any concerns about spilling of battery acid. While spills can still happen with AGM batteries, because of the viscosity of the gell, it takes a little more than just a hole in the battery to come in contact with you or the floor.
