Plummeting temperatures can create havoc for farmers with cold weather significantly increasing the chances of battery failure in tractors this time of year.
Battery performance is a vital component in keeping agricultural machinery and vehicles running efficiently, especially during the winter months when multi-tasking tractors are crucial to operations.
If unexpected downtime isn’t an option for you this winter, it could be time to upgrade to a durable, high performance solution like ODYSSEY® Battery.
The battery is optimised to meet the heavy electrical demands of farm vehicles in temperatures as low as -40°C.
ODYSSEY batteries provide the performance of two batteries in one, delivering deep cycle capacity to power the computers and accessories on tractors without compromising the cranking power needed to start the engine time and again.
Produced by leading manufacturer EnerSys®, the batteries are engineered with next generation TPPL (Thin Plate Pure Lead) technology, which promises to keep tractors and farm vehicles running efficiently, even in the toughest conditions.
Tom Spinks, transportation group product manager at EnerSys, said: “When your farm is your livelihood, having a tractor that doesn’t start on a cold winter morning can be a real headache so it’s crucial to choose a high performance battery that won’t let you down.
“Unlike conventional batteries, ODYSSEY batteries are unaffected by extreme temperatures and are engineered to cope with the high electrical loads of modern agri vehicles, so there’s no better solution for farmers who can’t risk unexpected downtime.
“The average vehicle battery loses up to 60 percent of its starting power when temperatures drop below freezing and it takes up to twice as much power to get the engine running in cold weather, which is why weak batteries are more likely to die this time of year.
"Upgrading to a superior high performance solution like ODYSSEY Battery means a failing battery will be one less concern for farmers this winter.”
Engineered with the same innovative technology used in military and aerospace applications, the batteries provide twice the power and three times the life of conventional batteries.
They can also be stored at room temperature for over two years without the need for charging or maintenance.
Backed by an industry-leading warranty, ODYSSEY batteries are a smart investment for farmers looking to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and lower the risk of unexpected downtime during the winter months.
