Don’t let cold weather leave you or your team stranded. Take care of fall maintenance now, starting with your trucks’ batteries…to make sure your truck(s) start even on the coldest days. And stock up on new semi batteries with our truck battery special!
Temperature’s Effect on Semi Truck Batteries
High temperatures can age batteries prematurely. Just for that reason, getting truck batteries checked before winter is a good idea. However, cold weather makes everything harder for truck batteries, so you need your battery operating at its best.
Cold weather:
- Slows down the chemical reaction that powers your batteries, resulting in less electricity sent to your starter and other systems. Batteries that are only partially charged may not have enough power to start your truck.
- Increases a semi truck battery’s self-discharge rate. (Starting your truck daily will help counteract that.)
- Can cause a temporary reduction in battery capacity…especially if your battery has been in a partially charged state for an extended time.
