Batteries

MYTH:
Batteries will discharge if set on concrete floor.
FACT:
The only effect setting a battery on a concrete floor is the temperature will drop to the temperature of the floor, therefore lowering the temperature of the battery will lower the cranking power.

MYTH:
Maintenance free Batteries.
FACT:
When you charge a battery it produces hydrogen. If hydrogen escapes the acid level goes down. Maintenance free design vents attempts to minimize the amount of hydrogen leaves in battery.

MYTH:
Gel Batteries are the best.
FACT:
For dollar value gel batteries do not have the life expectancy of lead acid batteries. They do have their specific application when a gel battery is required.
