Understanding Deep Cycle BatteriesThe Core Difference Between Starting and Deep Cycle BatteriesIn a battery, the chemistry is the same, but the architecture tells a different story. The starting battery is built for a violent, short burst of energy, a single, potent...
Understanding Battery Construction and ChemistryAnatomy of a Traditional Deep Cycle BatteryOpen a traditional deep cycle battery and you will find lead plates, thick grids, and an acid reservoir. The chemistry is not exotic: lead dioxide reacts with the electrolyte to...
Common Causes of Battery RuptureOvercharging pushes a deep cycle battery past its safe voltage threshold. The excess energy splits water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. In an enclosed space, pressure climbs until something gives. This is the prelude to a deep cycle...
