Quality of Materials:
- Cheaper batteries often use lower-quality materials in their construction leading to faster degradation
Construction and Durability:
- More expensive batteries tend to have robust construction using thicker plates, enhanced grids, and improved electrolyte composition making them more durable.
Reserves, Capacity, and CCA (Cold Cranking Amps):
- Higher price batteries often offer greater reserve capacity and higher CCA allowing for longer performance and reliable starting even in difficult conditions.
While a cheap battery might save money upfront, it may require you to make repairs such as more frequent replacements within a shorter period leading to higher cumulative costs in the long run.
