Have you by chance fitted an old style lead acid battery into a car
which is intended to take a silver calcium battery?

That's the first time I've heard of a car battery being anything other
than lead-acid - except for electric vehicles of course, and historical
things like NiFe. Silver-calcium - sounds expensive - tell me more...

It's still lead-acid, but there's extra bits.


There are glass mat batteries too, but I haven't looked at what's different
about them. They are fitted to stop/start cars.
