The typical car battery is generally used for short term bursts of power, usually about 5 seconds or enough time for starting the car’s engine. However rv batteries are different, especially since there are many amenities on-board the typical rv that need to be powered as well. Therefore a relatively lower energy output that is sustained for a longer period of time is what an rv battery is designed for. This allows you to completely take advantage of being able to take your home on the road.
Car batteries have much more reactant surface area exposed for the energy-creating chemical reactions to take place due to their thinner, more porous plates. A car battery can then generate short term bursts at high output that the lead/acid plates can permit. A battery made for and rv however is different in that it is made with a denser material with thicker plates, allowing it to sustain long term generation of low energy output. This kind of battery is called a deep cycle battery and can also be found on boats and yachts for powering equipment on-board. An rv battery typically has more reinforcement to protect it from shedding damage related to vibrations. It also needs to be charged in a different manner than you would usually encounter with a car battery. A car battery receives continual charging while the engine is in operation, meaning that there is less maintenance involved even with conventional lead/acid batteries. On the other hand, deep cycle batteries require a compatible charger and need to be charged on a regular basis. Do not charge the battery if it is too cold, giving it an hour or two to warm up before hooking it up to the charger. Also, do not keep it hooked up to the charger once it is full as it will actually corrode the grid and reduce the overall live of the battery.
It is important to note the difference between battery types before making a purchase as different vehicles often need different types of batteries. There are different types of deep cycle batteries, each with their own benefits and disadvantages. Flooded cell batteries are the most common but require constant maintenance, while maintenance free batteries can either factory-sealed or self-sealed. Sites like http://www.impactbattery.com/ have a wide variety of available batteries that you can choose from and compare, assisting you with your purchase decision. You’ll even be able to find batteries for different vehicles and applications, along with required chargers. To ensure smooth operation and maximize battery life just make sure to use batteries as instructed by the manufacturer.
