Why Car Batteries Go Flat

A car battery will lose its charge and become flat if it is not used regularly, or if the car is used for short journeys only when the battery will not have enough time to recharge itself properly. The term for this is ‘undercharging’. This leads to a hardening of the lead plates within the battery that affects its ability to hold a charge. This is known as sulphation. Geeky, we know! As a car battery works on a chemical reaction basis, the environment temperature and humidity can also play a crucial role in battery performance. A battery operates at maximum efficiency at a temperature of 26.7℃ or 80℉. Higher temperatures speed up internal corrosion within the battery’s cells which reduces the life of the battery. Colder temperatures inhibit a...

What Sets a Tesla Car Battery Apart from Others?

Tesla motors, most would agree, produce the best electric cars. Their batteries are able to outlast and outperform other car batteries in virtually every way. The reason behind this is the intellectual property of Tesla Motors and as such is a closely guarded secret, but we can still see the results of how a Tesla battery outperforms its competitors. Tesla batteries, used for homes and cars, have been shown to outperform in virtually all KPI’s. They can store greater amounts of energy within the same amount of space, and release it with lower losses of energy too. What this means for vehicles using Tesla motors is that they will be able to travel farther and longer than all of its competitors, which for many people is the chief reason why...
