I was commenting on an article and realized I needed to know more about the different types of batteries used these days because my comment would be mostly for the types of batteries found in most non-hybrid and non-electric based 4, 6 and 8 cylinder vehicles. However, I realized after thinking about it that there are many different types of batteries that would cause various different problems if one were in such a vehicle in an accident. Some would simply short out, some would leak battery acid on people in overturned cars and trucks, and some would have other problems. I didn't find out exactly what I wanted to know about but I put all these buttons above for any of you that want to do more research on the subject.
