Types of Commercial Truck Batteries
Continental Battery Systems carries a wide range of flooded, AGM and MIXTECH lead-acid batteries designed to provide reliable power and longevity for commercial applications.
Flooded batteries, or conventional batteries, are ideal for RV owners who are serious about maintaining their land craft. Lead-acid batteries are less expensive than other types of batteries, and they’re rechargeable. (The lifespan may be shorter than other types of batteries if they’re not properly maintained.)
Absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries are maintenance free, spill-proof and long-lasting. AGM batteries can be more expensive than flooded batteries, and can be more sensitive to charging in extreme heat and cold.
MIXTECH, from battery manufacturer Discover, is a patented technology that mixes electrolyte inside the battery as your vehicle moves. This prevents acid from settling to the bottom of the battery preventing acid stratification.

How to Choose a Battery for Your Car
A battery replacement can feel like a go-through-the-motions kind of task that doesn’t require a lot of forethought or planning. While it’s certainly fine to take your car into the shop and ask for the same battery you’ve always had, there are several factors you should consider to ensure you’re getting the best performance and longevity out of your new battery — and your vehicle.

The Evolution of Battery Technology: What’s Next for Automotive Applications?
Battery and automotive technology have been intertwined for more than a century. In 1912, as automobiles began to gain mass popularity, Cadillac developed the first starter motor. This innovation eliminated the need for hand cranking and required a reliable power source — a lead-acid battery. By 1920, most new vehicles were equipped with electric starters powered by batteries.
