    On One Hand: Exide Batteries Are Safe And Durable

    Automobile batteries from Exide, such as the Champion or Napa, are advanced lead-acid batteries that have been known to be durable over their lifetimes, even in demanding conditions. The batteries contain spherical cells, separated by grids that stop the acid from leaking. Acid leakage is one of the biggest threats associated with automotive batteries, and Exide products are able to maintain their integrity, even having endured shocks, punctures or cracks.

    On the Other: Not All Automotive Batteries Suit All Cars

    Battery manufacturers such as Johnson Controls Industries and Delphi also offer automotive batteries, and there are different brands under each manufacturer. The most important features in choosing a new battery are group size and cold-cranking amps (CCA). Some automotive batteries are more suited to some cars than others, in terms of vehicle type and group size, and installing an Exide battery in a vehicle that performs better on a Delphi will not give optimum results.

    Bottom Line

    Exide is a trusted automotive battery manufacturer and has a broad range of products. In choosing a new battery, vehicle manufacturer, group size and the battery's CCA should be considered, as an Exide battery may not always be the best choice for all cars.

    Exide battery has an extended product lifetime compared to a standard battery because of the following reasons:
    - larger capacity reserve provided by the use of thicker plates
    - better resistance to discharge and recharge
    - better corrosion resistance
    - high starting power and reliability in all weather conditions
