Buy Automotive Batteries Online

There’s no shortage of ways to buy automotive batteries online, but if you purchase anything other than an ODYSSEY^® battery, you’ll just be wasting time and money. If you want a true “set it and forget it” battery, the ODYSSEY^® battery from EnerSys^® will be the obvious choice. Not only will our battery last three times as long as a traditional lead acid model, but it will also deliver twice the overall power. You simply can’t find a better battery – anywhere.

How An ODYSSEY^® Battery Compares to the Competition

Most batteries you’ll find online are known as flooded lead acid batteries. They have plates inside of them that are soaked in sulfuric acid. The plates hold positive and negative charges that help the battery deliver current. Sulfuric acid is a form of electrolyte, which also plays a role in providing power to a car.

There are a lot of disadvantages to the flooded lead acid battery design. One of them is that you have to charge it regularly – on average, every three to six months. If this type of battery chemistry doesn’t receive a regular charge, it will start to sulfate and will eventually lead to battery failure.

That is not an issue with an ODYSSEY^® battery. The reason is that it contains Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) technology. AGM batteries are internally sealed. In a regular battery, as you already learned, the lead plates are submerged in an electrolyte (sulfuric acid). On the other hand, in an AGM battery, the plates are separated by fiberglass. The fiberglass keeps the electrolyte secure. As a result, you won’t have to add water.

Another advantage of AGM design is durability. Since the plates are so secure, they can hold up to shock and vibrations. As a matter of fact, you can mount an AGM battery in just about any position except upside down, and the electrolyte won’t leak out or spill.

AGM Plus TPPL – An Unbeatable Combination

But there are quite a few AGM batteries out there in the market. What really separates an ODYSSEY^® battery from everything else is its Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology. We use a proprietary TPPL design that we combine with AGM technology.

When plates are made of high-purity lead, you can make them thinner than what you’ll find in a conventional lead acid battery. Since they’re thinner, we can put more of them inside an ODYSSEY^® battery. The more plates a battery has, the more power it will produce. The higher number of plates provides a broader area for electrochemical reactions to take place. Therefore, an ODYSSEY^® battery delivers two times the power of conventional lead acid models.

However, as important as power is, that’s not the only benefit TPPL technology provides to customers. It dramatically slows corrosion, which is the reason an ODYSSEY^® battery lasts three times longer than most competitors. In addition, an ODYSSEY^® battery will reach a total charge in just four hours.

The next time you buy automotive batteries online, do yourself a favor and choose an ODYSSEY^® battery from EnerSys^®. It will be one of the best decisions you could ever make when it comes to your car. Learn more by using our online form.
