Vehicles in long-term storage still place demands on their 12-volt batteries, even when the ignition stays off for weeks or months. Parasitic loads, self-discharge, temperature, and existing battery condition can eventually reduce the state of charge enough to cause...
Rideshare and fleet vehicle batteries can face a harsher environment than batteries in personal vehicles, increasing the chances for early failure. High mileage is part of the equation, but frequent starts, accessory use, communications gear, and demanding duty cycles...
High-mileage vehicles need a different battery conversation because age, wear on the charging system, and the way these vehicles tend to be driven all change what a healthy battery actually looks like at 120,000 miles and beyond. A test result that would be a clear...
Picture this: temperatures hit subzero, and your excavator won’t start. What starts as a $150 battery problem quickly snowballs into thousands in lost productivity and missed deadlines. For anyone counting on heavy equipment to keep projects moving, a dead battery...
Battery reconditioning can be a topic that comes up for customers with weak batteries, and even some shops looking to extend battery life. The idea is simple: use charging cycles to revive an aging 12-volt battery instead of replacing it. On the surface, it sounds...
