How to choose which battery is suitable:
EverExceed manufactures both AGM and GEL batteries which adopts latest technology. So when trying to decide which battery to purchase consider a few things.
1.What application are you using the battery for?
2.Will the battery have to function in below freezing temperatures or high temperature?
3.How will you recharge the battery?
4.Do you need a slow discharge rate or will you require bursts of power?
