Vacation with the caravan is enjoying increasing popularity. Many appreciate the flexibility that this type of travel brings with it, as you don't have to book accommodation in advance and you can also adjust the route at short notice to meet individual needs. A caravan offers all the advantages of an apartment, albeit on a smaller scale. He has a bed, shower, toilet and kitchen. However, in order for everything to work in the caravan, he needs a strong batterythat can supply the necessary energy for all devices. This is how the electric heating has to be operated and ideally the stove and the light have to work at the same time. And of course you don't want to do without the radio either.
the right battery
Essentially stand three various Battery types available as a supply battery. the Lead acid, the AGM and the Gel supply battery. Which one is most suitable depends on the one hand burden and on the other hand from Place of installation. the Differences between the batteries we now explain.
Lead-acid battery
The lead-acid supply battery is cheap compared to the other battery types. They are easy to charge with commercially available chargers and are optimized for cyclical loading. The maintenance effort is usually limited to the fact that something can be done under permanent heavy loads distilled water must refill (because of evaporation). When installing it is important that the battery stand upright installed because it is not completely protected against leakage. Furthermore, when installing in the interior, it must be ensured that the gases and the acid mist via a degassing hose to be diverted to the outsideso it doesn't have to Re-ignition comes.
AGM battery
AGM stands for the English term "absorbent glass mat". Translated it means something like "absorbent glass fleece“This glass fleece has the advantage that the electrolyte is firmly bound in it and the AGM battery leakproof is. In addition, it is significantly more cycle-proof than the cheaper lead-acid battery. Further advantages result from the fact that they valve regulated, high current capability and gas tight is. It is practically maintenance free and good for Inverters for Home suitable because large amounts of electricity can be drawn in a short time. It can be charged faster and with a higher voltage than any other battery. It is largely resistant to cold. The AGM battery, on the other hand, does not like heat that much.
Gel battery
The gel supply battery is the most expensive type of battery available for the caravan. But for the high price, it also delivers remarkable performance. That's how she is maintenance-free and deep cycle, which means that long storage times are also possible. Self Deep discharges The battery usually survives without any problems. However that is Shop expensive, because on the one hand it is a very lengthy process and special chargers are required. A gel battery can even be in Inclined positions can be installedbecause the battery acid has been converted into a gel-like state. Unlike the AGM battery, heat is the lesser problem for the gel battery. On the other hand, performance can suffer from the cold.
You still have to pay attention to this
The battery types described are of course not only used in caravans or caravans, but are also in boot and Yachts installed. In the case of watercraft, it is advisable to use the leak-proof AGM or Gel batteries to use. It is also necessary when using on the water shock-proof specimens to put. There should also be a seal of approval on the battery.
Of course, that wasn't the end of it!
