對於汽車電池, 您有幾熟悉?
汽車電池可以用到幾耐?
可以用幾長時間?
日本製或歐洲製就一定係最好?
未繼續答更多既問題之前, 首先大家都一定要知最基本既野, 就係到底有咩電池類別, 同埋應該揀邊一個類別.
總括黎講最常用既汽車電池分為三類別 - 普通電池, EFB電池, 同埋AGM電池.
(仲有另外兩款, Deep cycle 同埋 Lithium. 呢兩款就睇下會唔會遲啲再講)
另有三款分別為 Deep Cycle, Lithium, 及 Gel
Deep Cycle 「深循環電池」或「深放電電池」係常用於船上. 當年 Tesla Model S 都有用 Deep Cycle 電池. 但最近得知之後有啲款開始, 已經由 deep cycle 改為其他款既電池.
Lithium 鋰電池 係出面比較多人聽到, 話特別好既電池, 話耐用. 係電動車未出現之前已經有傳. 但有冇諗過點解係汽油車時代都仲未通行? 但現時電動車時代都冇用黎做12V. 原因, 可以了解下您自己部手提電話就知道.
Gel 電池係電單車常用既電池. Gel 唔係 AGM 電池. 由於我從來冇見過, 所以我都唔知價錢同是否岩用於 Benz 的輔助電池
呢三款入面應該揀邊一款?
如果您部車係沒有iStop 功能(中文好似係叫 停車時自動熄匙功能), 就只需要用番普通電池就夠.
現時香港有9成幾既汽車用電池都係 "免維護(Maintenance Free)". 即係用家無需要去睇電池入面液體夠唔夠, 唔駛好似以前咁需要加蒸餾水.
私家車同van 仔用既電池都只會搵到"免維護", 除左部分貨車都仲可以買到水電. 不過對於個啲想買水電既車主, 有冇諗過唔係真係次次都俾您加到水就可以著番部車 ?

How well do you know automotive batteries in the market?
How long can it be last?
How long can it be used?
Those made in Japan or made in Europe are the best recommendation.... or is it?
Before coming into further questions, it is a basic to know what type of battery you actually need for your vehicle.
In general, there is 3 types commonly used for your vehicle - The standard battery, EFB, and AGM.
(There is another 2 types of batteries, deep cycle and Lithium which maybe explained in the future)
Let's make a quick explanation on another three types of battery that can also be found in the market.
Deep Cycle battery is normally used in boat. Tesla Model S also used Deep Cycle battery. But hearing from customers that latest models are swapping deep cycle with other types of batteries.
Lithium batteries are rumored to be especially good and durable even before electric vehicle released. Yet, it is not commonly installed in petrol vehicle, and not even in electric vehicle as originally equipped for 12V. For the reason, you could check out your smartphone for it.
Gel battery normally used in motorcycle. Gel is not AGM battery. I have never seen one before so I do not know if it can be used in Benz as auxiliary battery.
So which one should you choose?
If your vehicle do NOT have an iStop function (idling stop function, which automatic switch off your engine when your vehicle comes to a stop), a standard battery is enough for your vehicle.
In these days, the way that automotive battery work is now known as "Maintenance Free", which implies users do not need to keep track of the liquid level of the battery. (unlike last time when you need to top up the battery using distilled water)
The after market batteries are all "Maintenance Free" except one or two brands available in Hong Kong market. However, those non Maintenance Free batteries are only available to Long Lorry vehicle and Truck.
Battery inspection and other inspection service are only available to Tyrehood customers who at least pre-purchase two tyres and one battery (battery brands must be available on Tyrehood website such as Acdelco, Eneus, Solite etc).
For walkin customer, please contact the supplier for any query or questions related to your product issues.
-------------------------------
Out of topic, but something to be known. Automotive industry in Hong Kong is classified into three categories - tyre retail store, automotive garage, and automotive detailing.
Tyrehood is a tyre retail store at this moment. Therefore Tyrehood do not provide services such as oil changing which are provided by a garage.
