What is the difference between dry batteries and wet batteries?

If we compare a motorcycle to a human body, the battery is an important organ like the heart. Because if there is no battery or the battery is damaged, the car will not be able to work at all. When that time comes, we will have to find a new battery to replace it.

And today, Prime will tell you how different types of batteries are different and what their advantages and disadvantages are. Let's start with...

1. Water battery

Water batteries are batteries that need to be filled with distilled water and must be maintained regularly. They are very different from dry batteries because they need to be checked every week to keep them ready for use at all times.

• Advantages of water batteries
  1. Wet batteries are cheaper than dry batteries.
  2. It has a high resistance to both charging and discharging loads.
  3. The lifespan of a wet battery is longer than a dry battery. If it is well maintained, it may last 3-5 months longer than a dry battery.

• Disadvantages of water batteries
  1. You must take good care of the water level. If you forget to add distilled water, there is a high chance that it will spoil easily.
  2. You must always check the charging and add distilled water because it evaporates or leaks.
  3. Amperage and CCA are lower than dry cell batteries.

2. Dry battery

Dry batteries are very popular batteries because they do not require any maintenance and do not require adding distilled water, which is very different from water batteries. Dry batteries do not require adding distilled water and do not require maintenance, making them convenient to use and do not require the time to maintain the battery throughout its lifespan. Dry batteries can also be left without charge for longer periods of time than ordinary batteries.

• Advantages of dry batteries
  1. No need to add distilled water, so users don't have to worry about forgetting to add water.
  2. Easy to maintain and not complicated
  3. The battery can be left uncharged for longer than a refilled battery.
  4. Dry batteries have superior technology to water batteries, higher amps and higher CCA values.

• Disadvantages of dry batteries
  1. Dry batteries are more expensive than wet batteries.
  2. It has a closed system with a one-way vent hole and is small in size, so it is prone to clogging. If clogged, it may cause internal pressure problems or overheating.
  3. If it is a sealed type without electrolyte, if the seal of the breathing chamber breaks, it may be damaged due to moisture entering.

But in the end, choosing which battery to use depends on your lifestyle, how you use your car, how much free time you have to take care of the battery, and considering the advantages and disadvantages of each type of battery. Then you will get the battery that is right for your car.
