Battery maintenance and optimization

PERFORM REGULAR BATTERY INSPECTIONS

Batteries should be inspected at regular intervals for loose cables and connections and for any other problem that may contribute to premature failure.  We recommend performing a visual inspection and battery charge level test at each regular maintenance visit to identify and repair any problems before they escalate to failure.

MAXIMISE THE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT

Your vehicle’s deep cycle battery has now reached the end of its useful life and you plan to replace it with a more affordable starter battery.  But what would be the potential impact on the return on your investment by replacing your deep cycle battery with a starter battery?

Modern trucks operate as recreational vehicles working in the transportation of goods and whose energy demand exceeds the capacity of a starter battery.  When conventional batteries fail prematurely, the impact on your business could be far greater than the cost of replacing the battery.
