A dry cell battery, or N75 battery, is a battery that has absorbed electrolytes into its separators. This means the battery is spill-proof and safe to use in various positions. There are several types of dry car batteries, as discussed below:
Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries
These batteries are also called wet batteries. They contain liquid electrolytes (water and sulfuric acid) and are the most commonly used lead-acid batteries. Wet lead-acid batteries are reliable and cost-effective, but they need regular maintenance (like topping up the water) and are not spill-proof.
Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Batteries
AGM batteries are great for start-stop vehicles, have high CCA ratings, and are deep cycle. They also have CCA ratings that support heavy and frequent discharge currents, making them ideal for deep cycle and start-stop vehicles. Another dry car battery N75 type is the Gel cell battery.
Gel Cell Batteries
Gel cell batteries are sealed and have gel electrolytes. They are maintenance-free and can operate in extreme temperatures. However, they are a bit more expensive than other dry car batteries.
Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) Batteries
SLA batteries, like the N75 battery, are completely sealed and have lead electrodes. They are maintenance-free, reliable, and affordable, but their energy efficiency is low compared to other dry car batteries.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Batteries
These batteries have high energy density, a long life cycle, and a fast charging rate. Unfortunately, they are highly-priced and have a low self-discharge rate.
The N75 battery is a 12-volt battery commonly used in vehicles. It is important to read the manufacturer's instructions to understand the specifications of each N75 battery.
Voltage
The N75 batteries have a voltage rating of 12 volts. This voltage is standard for most car batteries. It is enough to power the car's electrical systems and crank the engine.
Capacity
The capacity of the N75 batteries is measured in amp-hours (Ah) or reserve capacity (RC). The amp-hour rating shows how much energy the battery can supply over time. Reserve capacity is the number of minutes the battery can power the car's electrical system without a charge. The N75 batteries have an amp-hour rating of about 70 Ah and a reserve capacity of 120 minutes.
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)
The CCA rating is important for starting the engine, especially in cold weather. It measures the maximum current the battery can supply for 30 seconds at 0°F (-18°C) without dropping below 7 volts. The N75 batteries have a CCA rating of about 600-700 amps.
Size and terminal type
The size and terminal type of the N75 batteries are important for fitting in the battery tray and connecting to the car's electrical system. The N75 batteries have dimensions of about 315 x 175 x 175 mm (L x W x H) and use top-post terminals (M6).
Weight
The N75 batteries weigh about 75 kg. The weight affects the battery's performance and life. Heavier batteries tend to last longer and provide more power.
Maintenance schedule
It is important to follow the maintenance schedule to keep the N75 batteries in good condition. The maintenance activities should be done at the recommended intervals. This includes checking the battery terminals for corrosion, cleaning the battery case, and checking the electrolyte level (for flooded lead-acid batteries).
Charging
Use a charger designed for the N75 batteries. Follow the instructions to set up the charger. Connect the charger to the battery terminals. Make sure the cables are secure and not touching anything. Then, turn on the charger and let it charge. This may take several hours, depending on how low the battery was. When fully charged, the charger will shut off automatically. Disconnect the charger from the battery terminals in reverse order of connection. Start the vehicle to ensure proper functionality of the N75 battery.
Choosing a suitable N75 battery for a car requires careful consideration of various factors to ensure compatibility, performance, and reliability. Here are some tips for choosing an N75 battery:
It is essential to have a good battery in order to start a car. But, if the battery is drained or dead, it is important to replace it. Replacing an N75 battery is very simple, and it can be done by following the steps below.
Firstly, to replace the dry battery N75, the following tools and materials will be needed:

Step-by-step guide to replacing dry car battery N75:
Q1: What is the N75 battery?
A1: The N75 is a categorization used to recognize the size and specifications of a battery that is compatible with particular vehicles. It is commonly associated with batteries that have been developed for use in Audi, VW, and other VAG (Volkswagen Group) brands.
Q2: Is the N75 battery a good thing?
A: The N75 battery is a good thing for vehicles that require it, as it gives reliable starting power and deep cycling capabilities. Nevertheless, it is a lead-acid battery, so it has disadvantages, such as being heavy and having a limited cycle life compared to other battery technologies.
Q3: Can I replace an N75 battery with another type of battery?
A: Yes, the N75 battery can be replaced with other suitable 12V batteries. Nevertheless, it is recommended that the SLA 12V 7Ah or the 12V 7.2Ah Yuasa YTX7A-BS, which is a maintenance-free, dry battery, be used. Before choosing a different type of battery, please consult the owner's manual or a professional mechanic to ensure compatibility.
Q4: What does the N stand for in the battery code?
A: The letter N is used to classify batteries and is used in many dry car batteries. The N in the battery code means that the battery was designed for normal usage. The N classification is given to batteries that are used in regular driving conditions, with minor variations in the climate and road conditions.
Q5: Is N75 battery good for start-stop technology?
A: The N75 battery is not specifically designed for Start-Stop technology. However, if it is replaced by a modern dry battery, it can support the Start-Stop function. For vehicles with Start-Stop technology, it is recommended to use an AGM or EFB battery, which is designed to withstand frequent discharges and recharges.
