More comfort brings breakdowns

More comfprt brings more electric consumption in the car. The statistic of breakdowns shows that the lead acid battery is overstrained with this, more and more breakdowns are cause by the SLI battery.






  Special batteries for high current at starting


The SLI battery is a highly specialised battery for a high current at starting an ICE internal comustion engine. This high specialization brings a severe decrease in other abilities. an SLI battery is not for many charge discharge cycles, can be only charged and discharged a few times.

But more and more,electric power consumption at switched off ICE makes this extreme specialised battery difficulties.

  • Water pump working until one minute of ICE swich off
    (equal cooled down ICE brings a longer service life)
  • Cooloing fan works after ICE switch off at high coolant temperature
  • Central looking
  • Internal lights
  • Consumers at the 12V socket like- for example a car adapter for a notebook
  • parking heater
The breakdown statistic of the ADAC (general German car club) shows at 23 cars 11 times the SLI battery as a major problem. No other component is more often a major problem.

  infirmity without warning


Infirmity of SLI batteries comes without warning. So it can happen that a charged 90 Ah SLI battery is after draining 0,8 Ah - a notebook half a hour with the car adapter - unable to start the engine.

This negative experiences influenced 2003 my purchase of a new car. A second battery for the parking heater and 12 V sockets had been a deciding criteria at selecting the car.



  Lead acid battery: discontinued model like the tube


The tube had been replaced by the transistor. We just experience the replacement of the picture tube by flat screens. The next discontinued model is the lead acid battery.

Who killed the electric car
The lead acid battery! The first electric cars had been in the time of the wild west. The quality of lead acid batteries brought them an undeserved end.


Development stop at the ICE internal combustion engine
After the lead acid battery killed the first electric cars, they had for a century in cars with internal combustion engines an insignificant secondary role as SLI battery.


Electric scooter: the 2000 km question
Every good dealer will ask You at the consultation: how many km a year do You drive per year. At more than 2000km a year, he will recommend lithium batteries.


Fall in prices at tube televisions Fall in prices at tube televisions
Who had thought, 20 years ago, a 55cm color television will be for 99,90 EUR as a fast moving consumer good in a supermarket. How can a producer earn money with this?
