The Top 5 Dry Batteries for Cars and Bikes in Pakistan

A few months ago, we published a detailed informational blog titled A Guide to Choose Suitable Car Battery. The principles laid in this blog are equally applicable while shopping for a motorcycle’s battery. If you are looking for information on what to look for when buying a battery for your car or bike, you need to read the blog. It also contains comparative information on the difference between traditional, wet cell batteries and dry cell batteries.

This blog, however, is on the most popular dry cell battery brands in Pakistan, which will also contain their current price. Moreover, there is some confusion regarding dry cell and maintenance free batteries. The latter are often considered dry cell batteries, which is not always the case in reality. For the sake of convenience, both batteries will be mentioned in this blog with focus on locally-manufactured batteries.

What is a Dry Cell Battery?
