Types of Commercial Truck Batteries
Continental Battery Systems carries a wide range of flooded, AGM and MIXTECH lead-acid batteries designed to provide reliable power and longevity for commercial applications.
Flooded batteries, or conventional batteries, are ideal for RV owners who are serious about maintaining their land craft. Lead-acid batteries are less expensive than other types of batteries, and they’re rechargeable. (The lifespan may be shorter than other types of batteries if they’re not properly maintained.)
Absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries are maintenance free, spill-proof and long-lasting. AGM batteries can be more expensive than flooded batteries, and can be more sensitive to charging in extreme heat and cold.
MIXTECH, from battery manufacturer Discover, is a patented technology that mixes electrolyte inside the battery as your vehicle moves. This prevents acid from settling to the bottom of the battery preventing acid stratification.
