Is this true ? someone said to me about the dry cell battery & wet cell battery. thanx?
Is this true ? someone said to me about the dry cell battery & wet cell battery :
. Dry battery are maintenance free and you never need to check water levels or anything. If 40AH is written it will actually be 40AH, as for wet battery even if it says 65AH i can’t say if its correct.
Why i say this is because if you buy a 40AH dry battery and 40 wet battery, hook it up to a UPS. The dry battery gives almost double the backup the wet battery gives.
Dry batteries are environment friendly too, wet batteries have been banned in many countries for cars because fumes of acid are always coming out of them, thats why we never install a wet battery with a UPS, which is placed in an airconditioned room because the room is closed and people inside with the passage of time will develope some type of desease or illness because of them (which you might never notice but its true).
The only con i can think of in a dry battery used in a car is that when it goes dead it goes dead : ) its useless no matter what you do with it and you will have to replace it, sometimes only they pick charge, normally they don’t. With wet battery, you can charge them and even use almost dead battery for few months till you can buy new.
plz tell me whether this is right or not ……..
thanks all

There’s a lot more to this story than what you’ve been told.With several different types of “dry” batteries ex:lithium,nicad,carbon,etc.And variations of “wet” batteries ,usually lead/acid both sealed,gel cell,and traditional,advantages and disadvantages to all types need to be addressed.For a gas powered car,the standard lead battery is best for price and purpose. wildmanny2

Right now, the most efficient battery for a car (Gasoline or diesel car) is the wet cell, lead acid battery.
As far as the environmental impact, both wet and dry cell batteries are made with heavy metals and a toxic electrolyte of some sort. Therefore, they are both dangerous to the environment. Both wet and dry cell batteries can be recycled.
All batteries have different charging and discharge characteristics. Wet cell batteries come in shallow and deep cycle forms depending on intended use. What battery to use depends on application.
The fumes from wet cell batteries aren’t usually toxic, they give off mostly hydrogen and oxygen. The danger is that the gasses will ignite, not a problem in a well ventilated engine compartment, but a real problem in a poorly vented electronics cabinet. ssg/emt
