Lead Acid Batteries
This is one of the oldest batteries in the market and also one of the cheapest and most usable. Lead acid battery is also known as ‘wet-cell’ battery. It can supply voltage up to 12.6V at full capacity. Lead Acid Batteries can run comfortably for 3 to 5 years without any problem.
Silver Calcium Batteries
These batteries were designed to perform improved functions over wet-cell batteries. They are used for an electrolyte solution. However, instead of silver-calcium plates, they have lead-antimony plates.
Enhanced Flooded Batteries
This is another improved version of lead-acid battery, it worked better than silver-calcium battery. EFB also has cells filled with electrolyte solution but these are completely sealed.
Lithium Ion Batteries
These are the most common batteries for hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles. This allows the vehicles to charge very quickly and deliver maximum power right from the start. It is very light which is also necessary for electric vehicles.
