Why Batteries Fail (And How To Keep Them Running Longer)

Using a standard car battery could mean risking your productivity this harvest. But to understand the importance of premium batteries, it’s important to understand why they fail in the first place:

Vibration: the number one killer to all batteries. Extended vibration can crack battery welds and plates, causing electrical shorts.
Temperature: when it’s hot, batteries discharge more and sulfation (which is the crystallisation of Lead Sulfate) reduces the ability for the battery to charge. In cold situations chemical reactions are delayed, restricting power production when it is needed most.
Periods in storage: Agricultural seasonal machines have extended periods in storage.

To counter the effects of vibration, temperature and periods in storage, a truck or car battery will simply not do! There are two things you need to counter the effects - a tried and tested premium battery that has been built for the agricultural industry plus a professional charger for when batteries have been stored for an extended period of time (for example between seasons) and need a kick start.

MagnaPower™ Batteries: Made For The Heavy Duty World

MagnaPower™ Batteries by Case IH are built to take the pounding that is created when your machine bounces across a field or job site. The batteries contain larger and heavier lead connections than typical off-the-shelf batteries. They utilise a unique epoxy bonding design to secure the internal grids to prevent shorts caused by excessive vibration and shocks.

MAGNA POWER™ BATTERY FEATURES:

Heavy-duty cast grid
Oversixed top strat and heavier terminals
Superior construction and more lead weight
Expoxy-flooded base keeps grid connected
