If the truck battery fails, the truck sits idle; this leads to a costly downtime. These batteries are great for vehicles with start/stop systems and regenerative braking while operating in extreme weather and requiring high electrical demands. Trucks need heavy-duty batteries for their various requirements and functions. A battery is a contained unit that produces electricity. Trucks need higher values of capacity and cold start current. These parameters are greater than the ones of passenger car batteries. Thus, the batteries designed for trucks have a number of special features and differ markedly from the batteries for passenger cars. The various features of a Truck Battery are:
• Extended use
• Robustness and Durability
• Dependability
• High cranking power
• Endurance in Severe temperatures, Various weather conditions, Deep cycling use, High vibrations, Rugged terrains
• Extreme performance
The truck batteries have a reinforced structure, with high resistance to vibration. There are several benefits of using a commercial battery in truck as it improves performance and safety of the truck. The batteries are designed in a format which leads to corrosion resistance and longer life. Most truck batteries last between 3-5 years. However, there are many factors that affect battery performance like weight of load, temperature, time of day and duration of drive. The best way to maintain a truck battery is to have an annual service and also have it tested if you are unsure about its condition.
