The Rock Racing Battery ...
... Compared to Other Batteries
Comparing the Options.
 Durability: Some battery designs are simply
more durable than others. They are more forgiving
in abusive conditions, i.e.; they are less susceptible
to vibration or shock damage, over charging and
deep discharge damage. Gel cell batteries are the
most likely to suffer irreversible damage from overcharging.
Flooded acid batteries are the most likely
to suffer from internal shorting and vibration damage.
Rock Advanced AGM racing batteries are more
durable and can withstand severe shock and vibration
as well as fast charging.
 Efficiency: This comparison is critical. Internal
resistance of a battery denotes its overall
charge/discharge efficiency, its ability to deliver
high cranking currents without significant drops in
voltage and is a measure of how well it has been
designed and manufactured. For flooded wet cell
batteries, internal resistance can be as high as 26%,
which is the charging current lost to gassing, or
breaking up of the water. Gel cell batteries are comparably
better at only approximately 16% internal resistance and require only roughly 116% of rated
capacity to be fully charged. Rock Advanced AGM
style batteries have the lowest internal resistance of
any battery manufactured, only 2 percent. This
allows them to be charged much faster if needed
and also to deliver higher power when required.
Battery Criteria Comparisons: Most buyers like
to make comparisons by using various specifications
and measurements.
Common comparison criteria include: Cold
race cranking amps or CCA, which is a clear indicator
of a battery"s ability to start an engine.
Reserve minutes depict a battery"s ability to
deliver current at steady rates from a fully charged
condition down to 10.5 volts and are expressed
in minutes, i.e. xx reserve minutes at 25 amp
discharge.
Life Cycles are used to measure longevity or
how many times a battery can be discharged in its
life time at set levels.
