Logistics is more important than ever, with customers expecting faster and more predictable deliveries. In this competitive environment, fleet owners are focusing on reliability and total cost of ownership. Indeed, when a truck is off the road, it leads to customer dissatisfaction, unused labour and capital and potential fines or penalties.

Exide designed its battery range for superior performance and to reduce the risk of breakdowns due to non-starting. As a true expert in OE batteries, Exide helps you select the right battery. For fleet owners and installers alike, it is vital to make the right choice for the conditions of use. Three important criteria to consider in battery performance are: vibration resistance, cycling endurance and cranking power.

MAIN FACTORS WHEN SELECTING THE RIGHT BATTERY FOR CV APPLICATIONS

For trucks with rear-chassis battery installations (e.g. Euro 5/ Euro 6 trucks), robust and high-vibration-resistant batteries are mandatory to avoid breakdowns. Vibration resistance is also required for any vehicle operating on bad roads or rough terrain.

VIBRATION RESISTANCE

High cycling endurance is important for long-haul trucks with life on-board, commercial vehicles doing intensive urban deliveries, and any commercial vehicle with extensive energy requirements. This maximizes battery lifespan and ensures a safe battery start.

CYCLING ENDURANCE

High cranking power allows for engine starts in cold climates and is required for many power-intensive vehicles in agriculture and construction.
