  ·          Why choose a lead battery? ·        Spaceflight Power lead battery There are two types of  lead batteries : o    Lead-acid batteries opened  with a sulphuric acid electrolyte  diluted with water . This type of battery is characterized by the fact that they are reliable and use a technology that has been well-known since the 19th century and is well mastered.  These batteries  have the disadvantage of being influenced by temperature changes. They also require regular maintenance (refilling with distilled water), as their electrolyte evaporates over time. o    Lead-acid batteries closed  with a gel electrolyte. They have the advantage of being maintenance-free and easy to handle (no leaks) with stability that’s perfectly controlled by the manufacturer. They generally provide about 400 cycles at 80% discharge. Advantages: o    Reliability. o    Good lifespan. o    No memory effect. o    Inexpensive. o    Low self-discharge rate, 5 to 10% per month Dis

  What’s the Difference Between a Stop-Start Battery & a Normal Battery ? Batteries · Economical Driving  · Posted by: Spaceflight Power · on 17th July 2021 With stop-start batteries becoming increasingly popular, and with more and more manufacturers producing new, low-emission cars, stop and start batteries are fast becoming the norm. But what are stop and start batteries and why are they replacing the ‘normal’ car battery? This month, Oak Services are here to differentiate between both batteries, so you can see the benefits of this new and improved technology.  What are stop-start batteries ? Also known as ‘idle stop and go’ and ‘micro-hybrid’, the stop-start battery works to conserve fuel by turning off the engine automatically when a vehicle pauses, for example, when a car stops at a red traffic light. Normal car batteries simply supply electrical currents to the starter motor, which enables it to turn, whereas, modern stop-start batteries are able to discharge and
