house i want to ask between a wet cell and a dry cell battery which one is better and can anyone suggest good car battery and where to get it and the price range.

this is a very good topic you have. my opinion is that wet cell or water battery is better. A dry cell battery manufactured in China for example is ready to use from that day. if it is shipped to Nigeria immediately after production, (which is not necessarily the case most times) it takes about one month to get to Nigeria and another one month to clear depending on the congestion at the ports. If it is finally taken to the retail outlet in the third month and it takes him 2 months to sell (which might be more). this process has taken 4 to 5 months out of the original life span of the battery which may be 18months to 2 years. On the other hand the wet cells becomes active when you have added acid or distilled water to it and if the life span is the same with the dry cell, it starts counting from that date. so your guess is as good as mine

Quite educating post you have there @chyjoke1.

In the real sense there is nothing Dry in the "dry cell batteries": They are called maintenance free by the manufacturer (that's the spec). They are made with more advanced components though.

so wet cell is better ko?

Good analysis by chyjoke, but remember that shelf-life is not same as useage. The trend is moving towards the maintenance-free bateries (know as dry cell in Nigeria) because they are more reliable.

One for one, a wet cell will withstand the stay on the shelf better than a Maintenance-free type, but they all come with a date-tag that can show when the batery was manufactured. Also the average Maintenance-free battery have an expected shelf-life of about 1 year.

so wet cell is better ko?

If you are looking at batteries from the same Manufacturer, Maintenance-free (dry-cell) batteries are better and will cost more.

more opinions pls

so wh one is better now?
