Amabhethri amanzi ane-asidi yomthofu asetshenziswa kakhulu kogandaganda, amabhayisikili amathathu, ukuqalisa imoto, njll., kuyilapho ibhethri lamahhala le-lead-asidi lisetshenziswa kakhulu, okuhlanganisa amandla angenakuphazamiseka, amandla emoto kagesi, amabhethri ebhayisikili kagesi, njll. Ibhethri le-lead-acid can can zihlukaniswe zibe ukuchithwa kwamanje okuqhubekayo (okufana nokuphakelwa kwamandla angaphazamiseki) kanye nokukhipha ngokushesha (okufana nebhethri eliqalisa imoto) ngokuya ngezidingo zohlelo.
