Battery and Electrical System Maintenance

There is no time of year that puts more strain on a machine’s electrical system than winter. With the need for heaters, wipers and lights, batteries become drained and need to work harder to start engines.

Your battery needs special attention in winter. Clean the battery and its connections, and make sure it is at full charge. A fully charged battery at 2° F has only 40 percent of its normal starting power. In cold conditions, it is critical to run the engine long enough to return the charge lost by starting. That may be as short as 10 minutes, but it may take up to 30 minutes in extreme cold temperatures.CRC Battery Cleaner and Battery Terminal Protector are two products which can help you maintain your battery for improved winter performance. CRC Battery Cleaner instantly neutralizes acid and removes corrosion by-products. Just spray on and rinse off. CRC Battery Terminal Protector is specially designed to protect battery terminals from corrosion, a leading cause of hard starting and battery failure. The protector leaves behind a lead-free soft protective coating.Stay Safe!
