Of course, AGM (spiral wound included) is a different story 
Spiral wound: Instead of many separate plates bound together in each cell by a cast-on strap, a spiral wound battery uses two plates only (one positive, one negative) that are long strips of lead wound into a coil and separated by an absorbent glass mat separator(nasty stuff to work with). Six of these coils at 2V each are joined together like a six pack to make a 12V battery. One advantage is the lower chance of shorts within a cell because of fewer parts. Shorts are a huge manufacturing problem.
It's funny to watch arguments about Duralast vs Everstart on other forums when I know that they are exactly the same  |
You may have stated this already, but with your knowledge of batteries, which battery/batteries would you recommend for my 99?
