Battery Accessories
Sigma Automotive gathers for you a few most advanced & innovative automotive battery (& related) accessories. When your car battery functions at most optimal condition, you help the environment & enhance your car performance by:
-
prolonging battery lifespan thus generating less hazardous waste
-
restoring battery condition (e.g.: desulfating) thus alleviating the workload on the alternator, which translates into improved mileage
-
expanding energy storage via the use of on-board super capacitors thus creating a more powerful energy source
- minimizing inadequate grounding so that vehicle performs better in terms of power & fuel consumption
- minimizing voltage fluctuation so that vehicle performs better in terms of power & fuel consumption
Batteries may create the following potential environmental hazards:
- May cause burns or other detrimental health issues to eyes & skin.
- Leach lead & acid into soil, groundwater, surface water systems.
- Pollute the lakes & streams as the metals vaporize into the air when burned, and cadmium & lead may end up in the ash.
- Contain long corrosive acids.
- Contribute to heavy metals that potentially may leach from solid waste landfills.
Battery Facts:
- A car battery contains 18 pounds of lead and one pound of sulfuric acid.
- Household batteries contribute many potentially hazardous compounds to the municipal solid waste stream, including zinc, lead, nickel, alkalines, manganese, cadmium, silver, and mercury.
- In 1986, 138,000 tons of lead-acid batteries were disposed of in the US.
- In 1993, 80 to 95% of automobile batteries were recycled.
