The Role of batteries in Commercial Truck Safety

For each vehicle, the proper functioning of every component is essential to ensure safe movement on the roads. One of the most critical elements for reliable performance is the battery which can be the frequent reason of trucks stopping on the road.
What is the battery used for?

The truck battery is the source of energy. It does a few important things:
• Starting the engine – a strong diesel engine needs a good battery.
• Powering electrical systems – lights, radio, heating, cooling, and many other things work because of the battery.
• Saving energy – when the engine works, the generator gives energy. But when the engine is off, the battery keeps the power.

What Problems you might face if a battery is bad

If the battery is weak or broken:
• The vehicle may not start at all.
• Lights and other devices may not work properly
• You may stop suddenly on the road
• The generator can also get damaged because it works too hard

How to maintain battery health?
• Check the battery charge level regularly with a multimeter
• Replace the battery in time
• Remember that in winter the battery works harder, so take extra care!
