How do you choose a new battery?

Many do not stop at deciding to buy a new battery on the grounds that the differences between batteries, despite their many brand names, are not great on the one hand and that there are no specific recommendations on the preferred brand name for the type of vehicle.
Although this is true to a large extent, there are a set of tips that must be taken into account when buying a battery in order to ensure a longer battery life and higher performance efficiency, especially since battery problems lead to ridiculous situations that the driver is exposed to, especially when he is surprised that the battery is unable to operate. car in the morning.

Avoid shops and maintenance centers that are not very popular with customers
because this means that the batteries they have are not recent in production. It is known that the chemicals that make up the battery are affected by the time factor, even if it is not installed in the car. Therefore, care must be taken to know the battery production date before making a purchase decision, and to prefer the most recent production so that you do not buy any battery that has been produced for six months.

Attention to obtain the battery that is proportional to the size of the part designated for it in the car,
as there are several groups of sizes for batteries. Choosing a battery of an inappropriate size makes it unstable, which reduces its life span.

Knowing the reserve capacity of the battery,
which represents the distance or period that the battery can run the car on its own without being recharged automatically in the event of a sudden failure in the electric generator (dynamo) in the car. This ability is an important element in assessing the efficiency of the battery and is found in the accompanying booklet and not on the label on the side of the battery.

Efficiency and price
Consider buying the new battery well before the old battery expires so that you can make the right decision and buy the most suitable battery in terms of efficiency and price. Because if the old battery is damaged and unable to start the car, the driver will find himself obliged to buy the new battery from the nearest store and of the available quality, which means that he may encounter many problems in the future.

Knowing the warranty period, the
more well-made the battery, the longer the warranty period is provided by the manufacturer. Also, the warranty certificate and after-sales service are very vital for the battery, which may discover after its purchase its inefficiency or the presence of an industrial defect in it. Usually, the producing company offers two types of guarantee. The first is the right of the customer to replace the battery completely if it is proven to be ineffective within a period ranging between three months and three years, and the second guarantees free maintenance and repair, and it is usually longer than the first.

Commitment to the capacity of the battery determined by the company that produced the car.
There is a variety of size and capacity of batteries. Of course, buying a battery with a capacity less than the required capacity for the car means that it expires quickly and may affect the efficiency of the engine’s work. As for buying a battery with a higher capacity than required, it is a waste of money without any justification and without obtaining an additional return

Finally,
if you find the seller trying to convince you to buy a battery with a longer life span at a price that is twice the price of a regular battery, choose the regular battery on the basis that buying two batteries within four years, for example, at the same price as one battery that is said to be able to work for four years is the best and most realistic option.
