How to Identify What Type of Battery You Have?
Let's take the following picture as an example:
Manufacturers
Part No.
E51
Reserve Capacity
1) Reserve Capacity: 80Ah
The Reserve Capacity is a time measurement that explains
how long a fully-charged battery can deliver a 25 amps current
in an 80°F- environment before the battery is discharged and
drops to 10.5 volts.
2) Battery Type: AGM
Please refer to this list to check the most commonly seen lead-
acid battery types for your reference.

This is the oldest/most common car battery type, also
known as "SLI battery." The Flooded Battery is usually
made of 6 cells with a liquid electrolyte solution of
sulfuric acid and water that needs to be topped off
periodically. This battery typically supplies a voltage of
This battery type also uses a liquid electrolyte solution.
However, differently than the Wet Flooded Lead Acid,
it is sealed and maintenance-free. The Enhanced
Flooded, usually seen in cars with simple start-stop
technology, can provide up to 85,000 engine cranks.
