Car Battery Guide: Everything Beginners Need to Know

Anh Minh, a long-time truck driver in Ha Dong, vividly remembers the time his truck broke down in the middle of Nguyen Trai street at midnight. That night, it was raining heavily, and he was transporting goods from Bac Ninh to a warehouse in Thanh Xuan. Suddenly, the engine stalled, and the lights went out. It turned out that his “old soldier” battery had “run out of juice” after years of accompanying him on the road. Fortunately, he managed to call a nearby truck rescue service and had a new battery installed that very night. Since then, Anh Minh has always reminded himself and his colleagues to regularly check and maintain their truck batteries to avoid such “laughing and crying” situations.

Anh Minh’s story is a wake-up call for us about the importance of car batteries. So, what is a car battery? What are the common types of batteries today? How to choose and maintain a battery? Let’s explore the details with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI in the article below.

What is a Car Battery? The Important Role of Batteries

A car battery is an electrical energy storage device that provides power to electrical equipment on the vehicle, such as the starting system, ignition system, sound system, headlights, etc. Simply put, the battery is the “heart” of the car, helping it “live” and operate smoothly.

Common Types of Car Batteries

Currently, there are 3 main types of car batteries on the market:

• Wet cell battery (Flooded battery): Traditional type, affordable price but requires periodic maintenance, adding distilled water.
• Maintenance-free battery (Dry cell battery): No maintenance required, longer lifespan than wet cell batteries, higher price.
• AGM battery: Advanced technology, high performance, superior lifespan, highest price.
