But since the invention of the battery, scientists and engineers have not only developed better batteries (like AGM batteries), but have also created life changing machines that are dependent upon them.To kickstart your battery education, check out some of the most basic battery terms.Primary vs. Secondary BatteriesThere are essentially two types of batteries, those that can be recharged and those t …

The technology used to create batteries has come a long way since the time of glass cells and wooden encasements. Now we have specialized technology and advancements and it can get confusing trying to keep it all straight. So, we’d like to untangle some of this confusion by asking the question: What is the difference between AGM and GEL technology?Before we dive feet first into the differences between the two, let’s take a look at what exactly each of them is.AGM BatteriesAGM technology stands f …

There’s a lot of industry jargon when it comes to car batteries. From post locations to voltage drops, the standard car battery has a lot of specifications. You might be familiar with two terms associated with these power sources: cranking amps and cold-cranking amps. Learn how to decipher between these two terms so that you can pick the right battery for your application.1. Why Cold Temperatures MatterYou might wonder why the cold is such a concern with starting batteries. The answer lies in th …
