| = Battery recommendation = * Batteries can be classified as low-maintenance or maintenance-free. * A low-maintenance battery may require water refill from time to time. Refilling can easily be accomplished since these batteries feature a detachable lid. Low-maintenance batteries are recommended for warm climates. * Maintenance-free batteries are sealed and last longer than the non-sealed type, and charge faster as well. '''Sealed batteries are not recommended in hot weather because water cannot be added.''' |
