Deep cycle batteries: provides sustained power over a long period of time. ideal for marine vehicles, small recreational vehicles, and golf carts. also used to store solar and wind power. thicker plates inside increases charge capacity. high discharge rates - cannot be used in cars. If you do not drive your vehicle for a long time, then you will not be able to charge your battery sufficiently. These are also very expensive.'''Deep cycle batteries''': provides sustained power over a long period of time. ideal for marine vehicles, small recreational vehicles, and golf carts. also used to store solar and wind power. thicker plates inside increases charge capacity. high discharge rates - cannot be used in cars.

These are lighter and provide a more fuel efficient drive. But these are also extremely expensive and have a very short lifespan, typically about three years irrespective of use. They are also incompatible with the majority of vehicles.lead-acid-batterylead-acid-battery.jpg1189x854Serviceable battery[/caption] '''Silver calcium battery''': It has a calcium alloy that is on a different charged plate. This reduces the fluid loss and hence slows down the rate of discharge. The bubbles moving through the fluid are important as they are responsible for mixing the different acid densities. However, the battery gets seriously damaged once overcharged. '''Valve regulated lead acid batteries''': The name describes safety valves present on the battery casing which are pressurized. This is one of those maintenance free batteries as mentioned above. These are designed in a way that they require less to no maintenance and no addition of water to the battery cells. As they are sealed, by containing the gas in the battery it will mix and form water, so you stop any fluid loss and so it does not spill. Hence they cannot be serviced and can only be replaced.Lithium ion batteries: These are mostly used in high-performance vehicles and electric cars.

This type of battery is very good but is not the best for a starter battery.    Absorption glass mat (AGM) batteries –   They deliver a higher rate of power in short bursts compared to other sealed batteries thanks to a fast reaction between the electrolyte and the thin fiberglass surface mat. agm       Gel cell batteries – (called so because of their silica-based electrolyte)   These typically work best for deep-cycle applications (like marine vehicles and golf carts), but are less effective in extreme cold or hot temperatures.
