The main power supply installed on cars, recreational boats or ATVs must be replaced periodically. Choosing a new battery involves studying several parameters.
Among the characteristics specified by manufacturers are capacity, starting current, and type of battery terminals. It can be difficult to visually determine this parameter, even if you purchase a battery identical in markings.
Car battery: how much does it weigh and what dimensions does it have?
Posted on January 4, 2018 by generator-prosto. No comments yet
When do we think about the weight of a car battery? That's right, at the moment when we need to remove it or put it on the car. And also, if necessary, move it to a certain distance. Do you know how much a car battery weighs? Today we will look at this issue. In addition, we will cover the topic of battery sizes. This parameter is used when choosing a new battery and is therefore important to understand.
AGM batteries for UPS 12V and electric vehicles 6V
Batteries made using AGM technology are based on the principle of a non-flowing electrolyte. The difference between AGM batteries and conventional lead-acid batteries is the use of absorbed electrolyte. AGM batteries were developed specifically for use in uninterruptible power supply systems. These batteries work perfectly in a UPS in buffer mode.
For use in uninterruptible power supplies, batteries with a voltage of 12V are used, and for children's electric vehicles - 6V. Chargers for 12V UPS and 6V electric vehicle batteries are most often used the same, since many of them have a charging voltage selection switch.
Advantages of 12V gel and AGM batteries for UPS
Gel and AGM batteries have many similar advantages:
- Adapted for operation in a UPS in buffer mode
- Long service life 5-10 years (gel up to 12 years)
- Vibration resistance
- Installation in any position except upside down
- Maintenance free
- Tightness
- Work at temperatures down to -30 C
Peculiarities
- Heavy weight
- Sensitive to overcharge
- Discharged storage is not allowed
A successful example of an AGM battery for uninterruptible power supplies is the product of the DELTA Battery company.
Battery for UPS model Delta HR 12-12.
Batteries for UPS of gas boilers
Batteries for gas boilers do not differ fundamentally from batteries for UPS of computer and office equipment. However, they are required to have a much larger capacity, since they must provide power to the gas boiler for several hours or even days in the event of a prolonged power outage. The Delta Battery company also produces high-capacity AGM batteries for UPS boilers.

Batteries for children's electric vehicles 6V
Batteries for children's electric vehicles are manufactured using AGM technology, as are batteries for uninterruptible power supplies. However, an important difference is the output voltage, which for electric vehicle batteries is 6V. For use in children's electric cars, we recommend using the 6-Volt Delta battery series.

What parameters are used to choose a battery?
When choosing a battery, parameters such as capacity, starting current, dimensions, and polarity are usually taken into account. The weight of a car battery does not directly affect the choice, but knowing this value will be useful in some situations.
For example, the weight of a car battery may be useful to you if you plan to move the battery from its regular place to some other place. Let's say you started tuning. In this case, it will be useful to know how much a car battery weighs in order to calculate the load on the car’s structural elements and select fasteners to secure it. The weight of the battery is useful if you need to move the battery over a considerable distance. Knowing the weight, you can estimate what equipment you will need for this.
And just for general development, it will be useful to know how much the battery weighs. Where can I find this information?

What types of terminals are there?
The biggest problem in battery operation is oxidation or destruction of the terminal. In this case, the terminals must be replaced. In the car market you can find devices made of lead, copper and brass.
Lead
Most car owners prefer a lead terminal. This material has good conductivity, it is softer than other metals, which is very good for crimping, in addition, it is resistant to the effects of electrolyte, does not create a galvanic couple with it, and therefore does not corrode. In addition, lead is cheaper than others, but it has a low melting point, which can lead to unpleasant consequences, especially in hot weather.
Weight of car batteries
In most cases, the weight of car batteries is indicated on a sticker. You can check this value yourself by weighing the battery on a scale. But here it is worth considering that the mass in this case is indicated for a dry-charged battery, that is, without electrolyte.
The model and manufacturer have a key influence on the weight of the battery. Larger models require a lot of plates and active mass. Accordingly, the weight of the battery increases.
Thus, for batteries in passenger cars and small commercial vehicles, the weight ranges from 12 to 20 kilograms. Batteries for trucks weigh in the range from 20 to 45 kilograms. This is the case for automotive lead-acid batteries. As for alkaline batteries, in their case the weight is calculated using a special table based on the parameters of a particular model.

Production technology
Sb/Sb (antimony, low antimony)
Old classic technology. The battery uses antimony in the lead, which strengthens the lead and prevents it from falling out of the electrodes at the slightest vibration. The main disadvantage of antimony batteries is the need for constant maintenance. The water evaporates and you need to constantly monitor the electrolyte level and top up as necessary. Antimony batteries cannot be stored without recharging for more than a month. The combination of antimony and lead causes water to break down into hydrogen and oxygen at low voltage and electromotive force. When oxygen is released, the positive plates oxidize. Oxidation occurs faster in antimony batteries than in others.
Sb/Ca (Hybrid)
The positive electrode of the hybrid is made using low-antimony battery technology from lead and antimony. Negative electrode using calcium technology made of calcium with the addition of lead. The lead-antimony plate ensures power resistance to deep discharges. In turn, lead-calcium provides a reduction in water evaporation and reduces the self-discharge factor. Hybrid batteries combine and combine the strengths of antimony and calcium battery types and minimize their disadvantages.
Ca/Ca (Calcium)
It is a type of rechargeable battery whose plates are made of lead doped with calcium. The amount of the last element in percentage terms is extremely insignificant. As an alloying element in such batteries, calcium replaced antimony, which had been used for these purposes for a long time, but had a number of disadvantages, to eliminate which it was necessary to select another substance. The owner of this battery does not need to carry out additional manipulations, such as measuring the level and density of the electrolyte. Having installed a new calcium battery, you can simply forget about it for almost the entire period of operation, periodically paying attention to recharging. The main disadvantage and the main difference between calcium batteries and their hybrid or antimony counterparts is their sensitivity to deep discharges. Just one deep discharge is enough for such a battery to lose a fifth of its capacity. A single full discharge - and the battery will lose half its capacity, while a device that has survived 9-10 discharges becomes completely unusable.
AGM
The most modern technology of maintenance-free lead-acid automotive batteries. Due to the special composition of the fiber, the electrolyte does not spread or evaporate, forming a dense adsorbed mass. Such batteries have a high starting current, inertness of the plates to vibrations, absence of gas evolution and evaporation of the electrolyte, resistance to deep discharge, resistance to frost and fast charging.
EFB
This battery is an improved type of lead-acid battery; it is more productive in operation than models of the previous generation. In this model, the lead plates are much thicker, and each plate is wrapped in a bag of special material, which is impregnated with electrolyte. A polyester mesh located between the separator and the plate keeps the active mass inside and prevents it from being washed out. A fiberglass pile is glued to the separator to maintain the correct position of the plates. The volume of electrolyte is reduced three times. Increased resistance to deep discharge, this allows the battery to be restored one hundred percent. The starting current indicators have been improved to almost fifty percent.
This innovative technology allows the batteries to last longer than classic lead batteries. But at the same time, such batteries are more affordable than AGM batteries.
GEL
Lead-acid maintenance-free batteries in which the electrolyte has a jelly-like state, since silicon dioxide is added to the electrolyte. The technology allows you to increase the number of possible discharge and charge cycles and the ability to recover after a deep discharge. At its core, a gel battery is a power (traction) battery, most suitable for electric vehicles and forklifts, as well as for backup power supply systems. Starting characteristics are worse than AGM or EFB.
Car battery sizes
Unlike weight, the size of a car battery must be the overall dimensions when purchasing it. Battery sizes do not exist on their own and are not pulled out of thin air by manufacturers. In many ways, they are determined by the main parameters that characterize the operation of the battery: capacity and starting current. The higher these indicators are, the more electrodes and the volume of active mass are required. Accordingly, the size of the battery case increases. Surely everyone has noticed that batteries for trucks with large capacities are larger in size than those for cars. Precisely because they contain more plates in their composition.
The easiest option when buying a battery is to choose one with the same dimensions and performance as the previous battery. But to help you get your bearings, let’s look at the main battery sizes on the modern market.
European size
European standard battery sizes are suitable for use in European and domestic vehicles. In appearance, they can be immediately distinguished by the terminals recessed in the battery cover.
Asian size
The dimensions and appearance of an Asian battery are noticeably different from European ones. The battery terminals are flush with the plane of the cover, and the body itself has a greater height and shorter length. Please note that most cars from Asian manufacturers have exactly these batteries. In addition to differences in size, these batteries are mounted differently in the engine compartment. For the European type, the fastening is carried out by the protrusion at the bottom of the battery case, and the Asian type battery is pressed with a bar on top using screw clamps. Therefore, you need to buy a battery with dimensions and type similar to the old one. Otherwise there will be problems with the installation.
American size
The North American battery is similar in size to the European type, but has different dimensions. They are located on the side of the long side of the battery. The terminals have internal threads and the terminals are attached to them using bolts. This design is used on vehicles that are supplied to the North American market. In Russia, batteries of this type are not very common.
Below you can see a table where batteries with different capacities are collected. Perhaps it will help you navigate when choosing a battery.

Now you have an idea of the weight and size of batteries.
This will be useful when choosing a battery for your car. If the weight of the battery is not always taken into account when choosing, then the dimensions should definitely be taken into account. Otherwise, problems may arise with installing the battery in the engine compartment. If you still have questions or have additions to the material, write them in the comments. Published in Batteries
Dimensions and terminal locations
The design of the vehicle ensures that only the appropriate size battery is secured. The size of European and Asian batteries is different . Therefore, batteries for Asian cars are very difficult to properly install in European cars and vice versa. Operating a car with a poorly secured battery is dangerous, as a short circuit and fire may occur. While driving, the battery dangles, so it can jump out of its place and short-circuit the contacts against the metal of the body or engine.
Each car is designed for a specific location of battery terminals. On passenger cars, the circuit most often used is: negative wire on the radiator grille side, positive wire on the windshield side. However, there are cars in which both wires are located on the same side. It is impossible to install a battery on such a car, the terminals of which are located on different sides. American cars use batteries whose terminals are located not on the top, but on the side, and the wires are attached to them in a completely different way. It is impossible to install such a battery on a Russian, Japanese or European car without serious modification of the power cables and seat.
High current 18650 batteries for vape and screwdrivers
18650 batteries for vape and screwdrivers are lithium-ion cells designed for high discharge current. On such rechargeable batteries they either directly indicate that they are for electronic cigarettes (for Vape) or write the maximum current rating, for example, 20, 25, 30, 40 A. In addition, such elements must be safe, since the evaporator with the battery is located directly next to faces. These requirements are met by 18650 lithium-manganese, lithium-manganese-nickel and lithium iron phosphate batteries, as well as the high-current series of 18650 lithium-cobalt batteries.

Reasons for battery failure
Before choosing a car battery, you should find out the reason for the failure of the old device. If the current source has served for 5-7 years, then the on-board system is most likely not to blame. If the battery fails earlier, there may be problems in the car's electrical circuit.
- The main culprits of battery failure are electrical appliances such as the generator and starter. After starting the engine, the generator must provide the car with electricity and at the same time recharge the battery. If the starter malfunctions, increased electricity consumption is required when starting the power unit.
- Mechanical damage to the battery casing causes the battery to fail. In this case, electrolyte leaks often appear or defects are visible during external inspection.
- Sometimes the battery quickly loses its power after charging. The reason for this phenomenon may be quite trivial. A car enthusiast simply does not know how to properly charge a car battery. If the current parameters are incorrectly set, or if the charging time is insufficient, the battery does not have time to fully recover. Therefore, the car owner should correctly connect the charger and calculate the charging time of the car battery.
How to check the battery when purchasing
When purchasing a battery, be sure to check it. First connect the load plug to the battery. If within 5 minutes the value does not fall below 9 Volts, then the battery is in good condition and works perfectly, therefore, feel free to buy it. Otherwise, continue with your selection. As a rule, such a device should be in every normal store. For example, when buying a battery on the market, you may encounter a scheme where the performance of the battery is checked not with a plug, but with a regular 12-volt light bulb. This is incorrect and these measurements do not in any way confirm the full serviceability and functionality of the battery.
Conclusion
There are not many basic parameters for the correct selection of a battery:
- Capacity. Designated Ah or Ah. For example, 55Ah or 65Ah
- Starting current – letter designation “A”, amperes. Example: 450 A, 550 A.
- Reserve capacity. It is marked on the case in minutes. Example: 90 min, 100 min, 110 min.
In addition, do not forget about the size of the battery, the location of the power terminals and their size. European manufacturers have them thicker: plus – 19.5 mm, minus – 17.9 mm. For Asian ones: the positive terminal is 12.7 mm, the negative terminal is 11.1 mm. If you don’t want to “collective farm” or tighten the clamps of the power wires on the battery, be careful when choosing.
It is recommended to study the old battery, find out its main parameters and dimensions before choosing a new one.

Battery maintenance rules
In many respects, the duration of trouble-free operation of a battery depends on maintenance. Therefore, the driver is required to maintain minimal care of the car battery.
The car battery can be serviced at home
- First of all, it is necessary to control the charge level. Even if the car is on the road every day, it is recommended to fully charge it once every six months using a stationary device.
- To prevent self-discharge of the battery, it is necessary to periodically clean the terminals from salt deposits.
- In serviced models, the car owner must regularly check the electrolyte level and, if necessary, add distilled water.
- You should not turn on the starter for a long time if the engine does not want to start. First you need to find the reason for the poor start, and not discharge the battery to a minimum.
These simple recommendations will help car enthusiasts solve the problem of choosing a battery, check its performance and give it the opportunity to work for many years.
Choosing a battery for a car
The most popular battery case size is 242×175×190 mm
But perhaps the main parameter is not even the size of the unit, but the capacity. This is what you should focus on, already understanding the required dimensions. Power sources are alkaline and acidic, with direct polarity and reverse polarity. In Soviet times, domestic cars plied the roads of our vast country, and it was easier to choose. The location of the terminals and their polarity did not differ. At least, it was possible to buy a battery of straight polarity and the required capacity, without particularly delving into other characteristics. Today there are a lot of classifications, as manufacturers are constantly modernizing their products. At the same time, the composition and performance characteristics change and, as a rule, the cost of the product increases. AGM batteries, gel versions, and alkaline and calcium hybrids appeared. But, let's talk about everything in order.
How to find out what battery is in the car
There are several ways to find out the battery parameters. First, your car manufacturer's website will describe the battery that is recommended for it. Secondly, you can look under the hood and read the information indicated on the battery case. But if you purchased the car second-hand, and the battery is not original, then this method will not be true in the first instance. Agree that the previous owner could not have chosen the most suitable model, but for example the one that was the right size and was cheaper. However, the car owner makes his own conclusions about how well the unit coped with its functions. This also depends on how long the power source lasted and under what circumstances it failed. The third way is to select a battery by car brand or parameters in an online store selling batteries.
Selection of battery according to parameters
Understanding the characteristics, you can enter the selection criteria in the appropriate fields and buy the battery online yourself. However, this requires some experience and knowledge. The fact is that when choosing from the proposed options with the same characteristics and different prices, it is not always worth making a choice in favor of more expensive models. It is in such situations that you will need an understanding of how to evaluate units and not buy an expensive and useless model. So, let's take a closer look at the important selection criteria.
Battery capacity
It is estimated in ampere-hours and is a parameter showing the amount of energy accumulated by the battery. The value indicated on the battery case reflects the maximum capacity value in a fully charged state.
You should not buy a 60 Amp-hour battery when the indicated capacity is 55 Amp-hour. You won't make things better, you'll just waste your hard-earned money.
Our website presents a catalog of batteries for cars with a capacity from 35 to 110 A*h.
Battery terminals: size and connection type
With the spread of the Japanese automobile industry in the Russian Federation, and recently also cars from Asian manufacturers, it is necessary to take into account the type of body. Surely, when you were selecting a battery by size, you paid attention to such a characteristic as the Asia case type. For example, the BOSCH S4 60 R+ ASIA (D23) battery is made in Europe, but is intended for cars manufactured in Asia and Japan. As a rule, these are taller and narrower housings of the units. In the example considered, the dimensions of the battery case are 230*175*225 mm.
The terminal connection type refers to polarity. This is another important parameter when choosing. There are 2 types of polarity:
- straight when the “+” electrode is on the left side of the body. Most often, straight polarity corresponds to power supplies for Russian-made cars;
- reverse, when the “+” electrode is located on the right.
In essence, polarity lets us know in what order the electrodes are located on the battery body. Example, a battery of the European popular standard Cone A with a positive current lead of 19.5 mm in diameter and a negative lead of 17.9 mm in diameter. The length of the installation wires corresponds to the correct location of the terminals. That is, if after the purchase it turns out that you made a mistake and mixed it up, then the length of the wires may not be enough. But something worse is that if you choose the wrong polarity, you risk getting a short circuit.
Choose the terminal size that matches your car. If you find it difficult to do this yourself, then we are always happy to assist you in matters of selection and purchase. Just order a call back on the website or use the online consultant service.
Starting current
The starter cranks the engine that is not yet heated, and the “starting current” indicator shows how much energy is supplied to the starter. It would seem, why bother with the issue of selecting a battery based on the starting current parameter? But, it plays an important role in difficult climatic conditions. Of course, when you want to buy a car battery in Moscow, don’t worry about critically low temperatures. But a harsh winter is difficult to predict even for Moscow. But the standard unit is designed for operating conditions of +27 degrees Celsius. This is the operating temperature at the battery's maximum capabilities. At -20, starting indicators lose power by 50-60%, at the same time, the same requirements are still imposed on them. To start the engine even in cold winter, you must select the starting current correctly.
The starting current range in amperes on our website ranges from 300 to 1,000.
Type of factory supplied battery
You may have come across the concept of a dry-charged car battery. It has a long shelf life and contains no electrolyte. This is one type.
The next one is a flooded type of battery, ready for use immediately. The product contains an electrolyte. For this type, the date of manufacture indicated on the case is important.
In terms of serviceability, batteries are divided into:
- Serviceable, that is, suitable for repair;
- Low-maintenance, partially adapted for repair;
- Maintenance free.
Maintenance-free batteries are more suitable for European winters with their mild climate. Under conditions of sudden and severe temperature changes, such devices quickly fail.
Sequence of actions when selecting a battery:
The easiest way is to seek advice from a professional, in which case you will save time and money. AKB-PROF specialists take their responsibilities responsibly, offering the client not the most expensive models, but reliable ones with suitable characteristics.
Car battery cost
Power supplies can be roughly divided into three classes from the point of view of pricing policy: economy options, standard and premium. The price of a battery directly depends on its production technology. The standard battery has an optimal balance between price and characteristics. Unless, of course, the car requires the use of advanced technologies.
Batteries from the Tyumen Battery Plant are the most popular among domestic manufacturers. This is not surprising, because the products of this brand invariably win the tests. In terms of price-quality-reliability ratio, it has practically no equal. If we go back to the beginning of the article and remember what the most popular battery size is, then we should highlight 2 options with dimensions of 242 * 175 * 190. On our website the price of Tyumen Battery in Moscow is 2,350 rubles. for the models listed below when returning the old battery for credit.
Which battery is better to choose?
Car battery manufacturer
The brand plays an important role in pricing. For example, the Austrian Banner is always more expensive than the Tyumen battery with similar parameters. The point here is not only in the costs of transportation from Europe, but also in the cost of components in the homeland of their manufacture. In addition, advertising costs have a direct impact on the cost of the battery.
Summarizing all of the above, selecting a battery by size is not limited only to length/width/height. A detailed study of the parameters is required.
What we have not yet talked about on the topic is the markings on the case. Since we are talking about choosing a battery according to its parameters, you need to understand how they are designated.
- Rated capacity, that is, the electricity delivered when discharged to the maximum permissible value with a fully charged battery. Example of designation 60 Ah or 70 Ah;
- Starting current, for example 550 A or 640 A.
- The nominal voltage in volts is indicated on the case as 12V or 12V.
Be sure to correlate the number and nature of your car’s electrical equipment with the battery you intend to purchase. It makes sense to consider high-tech batteries precisely when it is required that the device allows uninterrupted operation under conditions of increased energy consumption. For example, a start-stop system or satellite alarm in combination with heated mirrors and seats may be a reason to buy an AGM battery in Moscow. In the case of using an average car, purchasing expensive Absorbent Glass Mat technology will not be practical.

Is it time to replace your battery?
Let's decide when it is necessary to change the battery? Firstly, if your battery does not hold a full charge. What does it mean? This means that when you come to your car in the parking lot or garage in the morning and start to start it, you see an indicator on the panel that tells you that the battery has a low charge - it is discharged. Or you may encounter a situation where it has completely lost its charge, although yesterday there were no problems, the battery was charged, the car started up perfectly and no indicators were on.

Secondly, your battery refuses to charge. Or if you try to charge it, but it doesn’t charge. This often happens if you don’t use your car often or for long trips, especially in winter. That is, during a short trip the battery does not have time to charge and therefore constantly loses charge and capacity.
Thirdly, mechanical damage to the battery. What does it mean? For example, for one reason or another, the battery leaked, or cracked in the case, or there were some other mechanical faults. These damages prohibit further use of this battery.
