Comparison of battery types: Which battery is the most powerful and has the highest durability?

The Vietnamese market currently has three common types of batteries: conventional batteries, maintenance-free batteries, and hybrid batteries. This article will help you clearly understand the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of each type so you can find the most optimal choice.

Conventional battery

A conventional battery consists of positive and negative plates made from lead–antimony alloy, a dilute sulfuric acid electrolyte, and separators. With the ability to handle heavy loads and high temperatures, this type of battery is suitable for heavy-duty trucks. However, its drawback is a high rate of water loss, requiring frequent topping up with distilled water.

Solution from GS Battery: GS conventional batteries integrate advanced technology to improve water retention, significantly reducing water loss and thereby increasing service life and durability. GS batteries typically last up to 3–4 years, depending on usage habits and frequency.

Maintenance-free battery

A standout feature of maintenance-free batteries is that their plates are made from lead–calcium alloy and they have an “indicator eye” to monitor status. The main advantage is resistance to water loss, allowing them to hold a charge longer when not in use. However, this type of battery is still less capable of handling heavy loads.

Solution from GS Battery: GS has improved the load-handling capability of its maintenance-free batteries, making them well-suited for multipurpose vehicles and light trucks. The longer service life also helps reduce risks associated with leaving the vehicle unused for extended periods.

Hybrid battery

Hybrid batteries combine elements of both conventional and maintenance-free batteries, using a lead–calcium positive plate and a lead–antimony negative plate. This type of battery can handle heavy loads, but it still faces the issue of water loss.

Solution from GS Battery: GS has developed hybrid batteries with improved materials to minimize water loss, enhance durability, and reduce maintenance costs. GS batteries represent an advanced technology from GS that optimizes the benefits of both hybrid and maintenance-free batteries while remaining reasonably priced. In particular, there are not many brands offering hybrid batteries in the Vietnamese market today, which highlights.

Choosing the best battery depends on your specific needs, but GS batteries, with outstanding improvements in technology and materials, have led the market in durability and performance. GS is a Japanese battery brand trusted by well-known vehicle manufacturers such as Suzuki, Honda, Isuzu, and Yamaha as OEM parts. Whether you need a battery for a heavy-duty truck or a multipurpose vehicle, GS Battery provides peace of mind in terms of quality and cost-effective maintenance. In particular, all GS batteries come with a 6-month warranty, ensuring users’ benefits.
