Trojan batteries are name-brand batteries that are most commonly associated with deep cycle batteries. For more than fifty percent of the population that does not own a boat, golf cart, solar-powered vehicle, or RV, you may have no idea what a deep cycle battery is. Even if you do own one of those items, you may not know how such a battery differs from a standard battery or that there are different kinds of deep cycle batteries. Here is an education on these kinds of batteries, what makes them different from standard batteries, and what makes deep cycle battery types different from each other.
Standard Batteries vs. Deep Cycle Batteries
Imagine turning on your car engine. You use just a little of the battery's "juice" to get the car started. There is still plenty of charge in the battery to keep starting your car for months, even years, without really worrying about it.
Then there are deep cycle batteries. The engines that use these batteries literally suck almost all of the charge out of a single battery in one use. That does not mean you use these batteries once and toss them. It means that the battery has to fully recharge after a use.
Sometimes that means that the vehicle's system does the charging. At other times you have to plug the vehicle into an outlet to charge the battery (e.g., golf carts and motorized shopping carts). While these differences separate standard from deep cycle batteries, manufacturers take things further with different deep cycle battery types.
Different Types of Deep Cycle Batteries
Regular deep cycle batteries are the basic version. Then manufacturers created flooded, solar, solar smart carbon, and gel/solar gel batteries.
When the gel batteries are also solar batteries, you get an environmentally friendly, no muss-no fuss closed battery for ongoing power.

Hello everyone, my name is Denise. Welcome to my site about industrial equipment. When I was a young kid, I studied the function of each type of industrial equipment in great detail. I loved to watch all of those TV shows about the manufacturing processes for different industries. I have continued my studies about industrial equipment in my free time to increase my knowledge base about how everything we use is made. I created this site to share this information with you all to help everyone learn about how products are manufactured. Understanding industrial processes helps you better understand the world around you.
