Racing Batteries

A racing engine produces a lot of power needed to accelerate the vehicle from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than 5 seconds or even faster. However, being able to release a huge amount of horsepower and torque from the combustion, it demands incredible cranking power to start, which almost no standard battery can provide. This is when racing batteries come into play. Specially developed and designed for racing and high-performance applications, they can provide twice or three times more cranking power than their stock counterparts, while lasting longer than traditional batteries in extreme conditions of the track.

Due to the specificity of their application, racing batteries must provide enhanced performance, reliability and safety. The latter is especially important since racing often involves an increased risk of high-speed collisions. For this reason, more and more racers today give preferences to the safest, yet the most-efficient types of car batteries, which are AGM and lithium-ion batteries. The first of them are built using one of the most advanced battery technologies available today. Unlike traditional lead acid batteries that are filled with liquid electrolyte, in AGM batteries, an electrolyte is absorbed into a very fine glass, which eliminates the risk of leaking even if the battery housing gets cracked.

Lithium-ion batteries for high-performance and racing applications get very popular these days. We have used the same battery technology in our laptops, mobile phones and other smart devices for many years. They provide several clear benefits over other types of batteries, including an extremely long lifespan, and superior cranking power. Lithium-ion batteries can survive 2000 recharge cycles with no problem, while most lead acid batteries can last not more than 500. At the same time, they maintain their cranking power across their service life. No less important is their light weight, especially when it comes to racing applications where each extra pound means slower acceleration.
