Faster recharge rates High-performance batteries can recover from discharge quicker, ensuring they're always ready to go, even after short trips or accessory usage. Increased reserve capacity (RC) This refers to the battery's ability to power essential electrical components when the engine is off.
For high performance applications, AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries or Lithium batteries are the best options. AGM batteries are known for their high performance, while Lithium batteries offer tremendous power storage capability and can be lighter than lead-acid based batteries. However, Lithium batteries do have some downsides.
Notice that they don't even say they're Lithium+. The High Performance batteries will be replacing all HP and HP+ batteries, High Performance still has the 2 extra terminals as HP, the only major difference is the circuitry in the new batteries is much higher quality than before. High capacity is what they call the batteries that are 4ah and above.
High capacity is what they call the batteries that are 4ah and above. Wow! Is the better circuitry meant to fix overheating issues? I believe so, it should also help with performance when the batteries get low.
Yes, high-performance batteries offer a significant advantage for performance driving by providing consistent power, faster recovery and improved reliability under demanding conditions. It's important to note that not all performance needs are created equal.
Higher cost As mentioned earlier, high-performance batteries come with a price premium. It might be overkill for some applications If your car doesn't demand the extra power, a high-performance battery might be a little excessive.
