Today’s Electric Car Batteries Can Boost the Running Capacity to 600kms!

Electric cars have come of age and soon the world may see a range of cars that run on battery support. The good news is the automotive batteries themselves are now more powerful, more efficient and pack more features than ever before!


The latest Tesla model S, is slated to go up to 410 kilometers, closely matched by the Chevy Bolt with an estimated range of 380-390 kilometers. The soon to be launched Tesla Model 3 is expected to have a range of 350 to 500 kilometers! Even the recently shown prototype of Nissan, the Nissan leaf 2018 promises 240-300 kilometers!

This is soon going to become better and better. And these cars could well signal the way the future of vehicles could go. As the cars take on new dimensions so have car batteries. Technology and R&D have been poured into them and the outcomes have been stunning!

A leading battery company has come out with batteries containing electrical modules that can be added on to it while on the run. These modules can each take the car for a specific number of kilometers. Today, with all its modules filled the battery to power up the electric car to run 600 kilometers and beyond! That’s almost twice the need of the present cars’ running capacity!

The shift from ordinary cells to prismatic cells heralded the new age efficiency of the batteries. Tesla itself showed the way with development of cylindrical cells capable of holding more power. Now the latest is multi-functional battery pack that enables drivers to remove and add on charged modules to the battery itself, thus taking its power further and further.
 
What was once in the realms of science fiction is a fact of life now. And, a common occurrence in the future.  These electric cars can well be the answer to air pollution, fine particle pollution and the heating up of the ozone layer issues. The car batteries then are the support that can turn the earth a little greener again.

Check SF Sonic Car Battery Types, Capacity & Warranty

Just as there are no one kind of cars, there is no one kind of batteries. Today, this field has seen enough technological advances to offer a range of benefits as befits the cars. The electronic age has thrown up another great advantage; the batteries can easily be bought online. Just choose the battery needed for your car, check the price, choose the warranty period that’s most expansive and buy.

Before you do that, take a look at some of the car batteries available in the market.


Different types of automotive batteries
  1. Wet or flooded battery: Most popular for being less expensive. Here, freely suspended plates with the positive and the negative charges are separated in different bags. They are fully sealed batteries so remain absolutely maintenance free! Do not require gas /fluid topping ups or replacement.
  2. Calcium-Calcium batteries: These fairly long lasting batteries can be bought at very low prices. These batteries contain a calcium alloy on the side of the negative and positive charged plates. This is mainly to reduce the fluid loss during transmission. 
  3. Valve Regulated Lead Batteries: The pressurized valves in the batteries compress the gas into forming water so there is absolutely no need to replace water in this kind of battery. These batteries are of 2 types:
    • Absorbed glass mats. The mats keeps internal resistance at a minimum and so are able to generate more power per crank.
    • AGM or Gel formula: Silicon is used to make the lead acid become a gel like substance. This makes the battery last longer but is not necessarily good to generate more power when needed.
  4. Deep cycle batteries: These batteries are ideal for smaller vehicles like golf carts, electric cars and small boats that run short distances and don’t require quick power surges. Thicker plates enable these batteries to last long. Their high discharge rate makes them good for small but frequently used vehicles.
  5. Lithium Ion batteries: Very expensive but with some great advantages. They’re not heavy and so they’re perfect for vehicles that offer fuel efficiency. Ideal for electric cars and dual fuel cars and energy saving vehicles. 

SF Sonic’s Flash Start advantages: The rugged, power supremo!
The SF Sonic offers more power per crank with a few smart changes in the components:

The calcium-silver alloy which increases resistance power and reduces over charging enabling the battery to start, whatever the weather, in seconds!

Corrosion resistant calcium-calcium grid that enables the battery deliver more power for every crank, be resistant to heat and weather changes and to vibrations in the form of bad rod or bumpy roads.
Now, take an informed decision when you want to buy new car batteries or want to just replace your old batteries with more advanced ones.
