CarQuest Batteries

Trends for new vehicle Technologies, here are some points to consider before investing in a Car Battery…

• New cars have more and more electronic options that require the systems to have continued battery support
• Many 2016 vehicles will have the start/stop options standard
• AGM batteries are the best equipped for this technology, due to its design to maintain a consistent state even with a partial charge
• Cabin electronics (heated steering, seats, navigation technologies, ambient lighting, charging docks, etc.) all need to be functional during a start/stop vehicles operation

AGM Car & Truck Batteries

• Absorbed Glass Mat
• The sealing valve is a critical part of the AGM battery
• East Penn has spent years improving this valve
• The valves keep the cells from being contaminated by the atmosphere which can ruin an AGM battery
• East Penn uses a deep cycle grid design to lock active material to the grid which allows these grids to collect and direct energy to the terminals
• East Penn AGM uses high purity of sulfuric acid, demineralized and deionized water which allows the battery to function at critical performance levels
• Forged terminal bushings are more robust and will last longer than standard cast
• The leak proof design keeps batteries corrosion free

FAQ

• Are AGM batteries premium products?
  • AGM batteries offer superior performance over flooded batteries.  They are designed to provide stronger cycling performance, vibration resistance, stronger severe service durability
• Why do customers need better cycling performance in batteries today?
  • Today’s vehicles are coming equipped with a variety of new technologies that require more draw from the battery:
    • Navigation systems
    • Display screens
    • Aux chargers
    • Heated interior options (steering wheel, seats, mirrors…)
    • Power lift gates
  • All of these combined with new start stop technology will require your cars battery to perform differently from conventional flooded batteries

• What is the benefit of having a better severe service durability battery?
  • #1 due to the lack of space under most hoods and batteries being placed in trunks of cars drive the need for better performing batteries
  • #2 the more VIO that are produced with start/stop technologies the larger the increase in enhanced batteries will be
• Why do batteries need better deep discharge resiliency today?
  • Most homes have two or more vehicles today which can leave them not starting for a couple days at a time, because of parasitic accessory power loads you run the risk of draining the battery power for start up
  • AGM batteries provide a deep discharge tolerance which allows for extended draws from:
    • Parasitic loads
    • Infrequent use
    • Or other draws (leaving lights on)
    

    DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES ….There is no need to apply added cycles for the sake of priming; however, manufacturers recommend to go easy on the battery until broken in.

We know Car batteries … you have a special need ..call us

Be careful of some places that confuse Cold Cranking Amps of a better with the ‘cheater’ data from Cranking Amps’ — the cheater way uses a higher ambient temp when measuring a battery … and the battery tests better – have us explain this.

We Also Recycle Batteries

Remember we Recycle all types of batteries at our store location …bring them all in – all types and we will make sure they handled properly and recycled for a better, greener tomorrow.
