Truck Battery FAQs
At Battery Giant, we want our customers to be happy with their truck battery purchase. We achieve this by providing our customers with all the information they need regarding truck batteries. Below are basic truck battery FAQs to help answer any of your general truck battery questions.
Q: How does a truck battery work?
A: A truck battery works similar to other common batteries. Truck batteries store energy in a chemical form that can be released on demand as electricity. Each truck battery cell consists of positive plates, negative plates and an electrolyte solution. Truck batteries produce electricity because of the chemical reaction between these elements.
Q: What should I consider when purchasing a replacement truck battery?
A: There are three important factors to consider when buying replacement truck batteries. While shopping for replacement truck batteries, it is critical to consider size, power and warranty. Although it is recommended to consult the manufacturers recommended guidelines in attaining the correct replacement truck battery, below are some general factors to consider while selecting a replacement truck battery.
First, you have to make sure the replacement truck battery will fit. Check the physical dimensions of the new truck battery with that of your original truck battery. Next you need to consider what the required power is for the replacement truck battery. Finally, you need to consider the truck battery warranty period. We recommend choosing replacement truck batteries with a warranty period that best fits your needs.
Q: What causes batteries for trucks to fail?
A: There are several factors that contribute to the failure of replacement batteries for trucks. Excessive heat causes corrosion, which can dry out the replacement truck battery cell. This is probably the number one reason for the failure of replacement batteries for trucks. Extreme cold weather can sometimes put a heavier drain on truck batteries. This also is a contributor to truck battery failure. Also, if a truck battery is not securely held down, vibrations can shed the active material from the truck battery plate grids. This will cause failure in most batteries for trucks. Overcharging a truck battery may cause overheating. Although typically a prolonged process, overcharging can eventually cause truck batteries to depreciate. Other possible factors that can cause truck batteries to fail include corroded terminals, sulfation due to inactivity, or electrical shorts in the truck battery itself. These are just some of the common causes of truck battery failure. Truck batteries can vary in composition, which can influence how truck batteries depreciate.
Q: Where is the best place to store truck batteries during the off season?
A: Before storing a truck battery, make sure it is fully charged. Remember that fully charged truck batteries will not freeze, but a discharged truck battery can freeze. Test your truck battery and charge the truck battery if necessary. It also might be wise to purchase a truck battery maintainer. After a full charge and test, now you are ready for truck battery storage. It is important to store truck batteries in a cool, dry and well ventilated area out of the reach of children or pets. Check the level of the truck battery charge every 30-45 days. A trickle charge using a truck battery maintainer or low amperage charge overnight might be necessary for some truck batteries depending on their age and composition. Also a good truck battery storage precaution is to check the fluid level inside the truck battery. If the fluid level is low inside the truck battery, add distilled water.
Q: How do you properly charge truck batteries?
A: Proper charging of truck batteries is important. While the truck battery charger or truck battery maintainer is still unplugged, connect the leads to the proper (+)(-) terminals. Wiggle the truck battery connectors to ensure a good connection. Adjust the settings on the truck battery charger for correct voltage and amperage. Now you can plug in the truck battery charger and turn it on. While charging truck batteries in a well-ventilated area, periodically check on the truck battery for any obvious signs of truck battery charging malfunctions. Make sure that while charging truck batteries that there is no signs of overheating. If the truck battery is too hot to touch or if the truck battery is gassing profusely, turn the charger off immediately. Once the truck battery is fully charged, turn the charger off, unplug it from the wall and unhook the truck battery charging cables. Always use caution when charging truck batteries.
Q: What can I do to help preserve the life of truck batteries?
A: Follow these guidelines every 3-6 months to help extend the life of truck batteries.
- Check truck batteries for cleanliness - If the truck battery tray is dirty or corroded, first remove the truck battery cables, followed by the truck battery unit. Wash the truck battery tray with a water and baking soda solution. Flush the truck battery tray with water and thoroughly dry it off. If necessary, further clean the truck battery with a brush or a special terminal cleaning tool. It is also safe to wash most truck batteries with the baking soda and water solution, however, be sure that the truck battery vent caps are on tight (if the truck battery is not sealed) to prevent anything from entering into the truck battery cells. Clean truck batteries, in a clean tray, will ensure the best connection.
- Check truck battery hold down brackets - Make sure the brackets holding the truck battery to the frame are secure. Excessive vibration may cause premature failure in truck batteries. If the truck battery brackets are loose, tighten them and spray them with a corrosion preventative spray. This will keep the corrosion on truck batteries from rebuilding.
- Check the truck battery case - The condition of the truck battery case can indicate if you have a problem. If the truck battery case is swollen on the sides (concave) there is probably a charging system problem. If the truck battery case is cracked, the truck battery should be replaced. These truck battery problems are non repairable. In these incidences, it is recommended to replace the truck battery immediately.
- Check fluid levels within truck batteries - Remove the vent caps and check on the fluid level inside the truck battery. If you see fluid, the truck battery is most likely fine. While looking in the cell of a truck battery, if you see an exposed lead plate, distilled water should be added. Be careful not to overfill the cells in truck batteries. As with most batteries, the fluid level in a truck battery should stop approximately 1" under the top of the truck battery.
