More comfort brings breakdownsMore 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.
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.
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. |
