Is the electric vehicle battery better with a water battery or a dry battery?

Regarding the question of whether the electric vehicle battery is better with a water battery or a dry battery:

The water battery itself is heavy and expensive, suitable for heavy cargo use. Dry batteries are lighter and affordable, suitable for light duty use. The difference between them is that there is a lot of water, which is troublesome to charge, and has a large capacity; the one with less water, which is convenient to charge, has a small capacity.

Water battery is a type of lead-acid battery. Because there is a lot of liquid in the battery, it is usually called a "hydro battery". The liquid in the hydro battery is relatively easy to lose, and it needs to be replenished frequently, so it is also called a maintainable battery. This kind of battery is mostly used in automobiles and motorcycles, and the discharge current is relatively large. So it is also called a traction battery and a starter battery.

A dry cell battery is a voltaic battery that uses some kind of absorbent, such as wood dust or gelatin, to make the contents into a non-spillable paste. It is often used as a power source for flashlight lighting, radio, etc.

If it is freight and the space in the car is enough, then you need to install a large-capacity battery, and a large-capacity dry battery will be very expensive. From the perspective of cost performance, you will choose water. If it is a scooter, you must choose dry ones, and dry batteries are divided into lithium batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Lithium batteries are more expensive and light. You can use them on mobile phones. There is no high capacity and volume requirements. Maintenance-free is fine, that is to say, you can choose the one that is popular in the market.

The dry battery is a maintenance-free valve-regulated battery. The shell is opaque, and the liquid cannot be seen when the filling hole is opened. Dry batteries require little maintenance.

The shell of the hydroelectric battery is generally transparent, and the electrolyte inside can be seen from the outside. Generally, the small capacity is a dry battery, and the large capacity above 120AH is a hydroelectric battery. If the water battery is well maintained, the service life will be longer than that of the dry battery. If the maintenance is not good, the service life will be shorter than that of the dry battery.

The most feared thing about the water battery is the lack of liquid. Regularly observe the liquid level of the battery. When the liquid is short, add distilled water or electrolyte in time (depending on the battery power, add electrolyte when the battery power is obviously low, and charge it in time). Maintain the battery while maintaining the battery. Apply a little lubricating grease on both ends of the + and - electrodes of the battery to prevent corrosion at both ends of the electrodes and prolong the service life of the battery.
