Description
A Kia battery is a rechargeable battery that supplies electrical energy to your auto.It is also known as an SLI battery (abbreviation of starting-lighting-ignition) and its principal purpose is to start the Kia engine.
Once the engine is running, the alternator supplies power for the auto.
Typically, starting discharges less than three per cent of the battery capacity. SLI batteries are made to discharge a high burst of current, measured in amperes, and then be quickly recharged.
They are not designed for deep discharge, and a total discharge can reduce the battery’s lifespan.
