1. Lead-Acid Batteries:
- Standard Lead-Acid: Approximately 12 kilograms (26 pounds) to 18 kilograms (40 pounds)
- Enhanced Flooded Lead-Acid (EFB): Slightly heavier than standard lead-acid batteries, around 14 kilograms (31 pounds) to 20 kilograms (44 pounds)
- Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) Lead-Acid: AGM batteries tend to be slightly heavier than EFB and standard lead-acid batteries, usually ranging from 15 kilograms (33 pounds) to 22 kilograms (49 pounds)
2. Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries:
- Li-Ion batteries, commonly used in hybrid and electric vehicles, are generally lighter than lead-acid batteries due to their different chemical composition. They typically weigh around 5 kilograms (11 pounds) to 10 kilograms (22 pounds), making them significantly lighter than their lead-acid counterparts.
3. Gel Batteries:
- Gel batteries are a type of lead-acid battery that uses a gel electrolyte instead of liquid acid. They tend to be slightly heavier than standard lead-acid batteries, often ranging from 16 kilograms (35 pounds) to 24 kilograms (53 pounds).
It's important to note that the weight of a car battery can also vary based on its specific brand, model, and manufacturing process. For precise weight information regarding a specific car battery, it's best to refer to the manufacturer's specifications or consult with an automotive professional.
