Sealed Large-Cell Batteries for Starting and Continuous Use
Deliver a surge of power to start automobiles and other vehicles, and provide power over a long time. These batteries are deep cycle, so they can handle many charge/deep discharge cycles. All are dry cell, so they have an absorbed glass mat (AGM) that soaks up the electrolyte and can be used in any position except upside down. They can be recharged hundreds of times.
Reserve capacity is the number of minutes that a new, fully charged battery can continuously discharge at 25 amps at 80° F. Marine cranking amps is the maximum amps that a new, fully charged battery can continuously deliver for 30 seconds at 32° F.
Warning: Batteries should always be charged and discharged in a ventilated area.

Large-Cell Batteries for Starting
Deliver a surge of power to start automobiles and other vehicles. These wet-cell batteries contain electrolyte in an unsealed container, so they must be mounted upright. They may occasionally need to be filled with distilled water.
Cold cranking amps is the maximum amps that a new, fully charged battery can continuously deliver for 30 seconds at 0° F.
Warning: Batteries should always be charged and discharged in a ventilated area.

Fast-Charging Large-Cell Batteries
An alternative to wet- and dry-cell large-cell batteries, these lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries charge more quickly and can be recharged thousands of times. With excellent chemical stability, they reduce the risk of thermal runaway if exposed to overheating or short circuiting. Use them for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and emergency lights.
Note: These batteries must be used with LiFePO4-compatible chargers.
Chargers (sold separately) automatically switch from fast charging to maintaining the charge level, so they won’t overcharge and damage the battery.
