My battery became dead in hot climate ,how can i choose new battery suitable for my car ?
If you want some information on batteries, the Consumer Reports have done tests and the magazines are usually in the local Library. Just look up in the Periodicals under Battery Tests and the Issue should be listed.
There are some newer type "Gel" batteries that do not use water or an acid bath so it will not evaporate in heat. These cost about 3 times the normal price. There are also some acid bath batteries listed for Hot climates in the Consumer Reports article.
I like the "MAX" series sold at Walmart. You can get Warranty service anywhere in the Nation (through Walmart) and a longer Free Replacement. I believe the Consumer Reports liked the NAPA and NASCAR brands.
Batteries are sold in sizes, then by Power. Your battery will have a case number like 27F and then have Power ratings like 650, 750, 875, and so on. The bigger Power numbers can do more and have more Reserve to drain or run down before failure.
There are a lot of opinions about brands, that is why I suggested reading the Consumer Reports tests. You will find that at idle a more Powerful battery will raise the power windows quicker and the fan will run a little stronger.
