wet battery (or flooded battery)
The wet battery (or flooded battery) still dominates. The wet battery consists of all but freely suspended plates that are insulated from each other usually with the negative plate being sealed in a small polythene separator bag. The price factor of the wet battery is the main reason why this design is so prominent. Even though a normal car battery contains around 130 components, the production method has been refined and the material can be relatively basic. The result is a low price battery that offers something that is adequate to meet the needs of many people.
The wet battery is very sensitive to gassing, when charging. Even if the waterloss caused by gassing can be compensated by refilling the battery, it's recommended to avoid gassing. Gassing occurs when the battery is charged with to high voltage, too long time. You can either monitor your cheap linear charger, or use a switch mode battery charger.
