Truck & Commercial Vehicles

Which starter battery is right for my commercial vehicle?

The easiest way is to use the data of your old battery. Make a note of the capacity, voltage, base strip and circuit. For 100% accuracy you should also measure the size (length, width and height) of the old starter battery. With this data you can easily find the right starter battery.

You don't know what to do? Then send us pictures of all sides of the old battery. We will be happy to help you find the right starter battery for your truck / commercial vehicle.

What is the difference between the battery technologies?

● Acid: Inside the battery is liquid acid which should be refilled at regular intervals - this is usually the cheapest price variant. We offer sealed lead acid maintenance free options
● AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat Technology): With AGM batteries the electrolyte (acid) is completely bound in a glass fibre fleece, therefore the batteries are leak-proof - medium price variant.
● GEL: The acid in these batteries is thickened to a gel. Like the AGM battery, they are leak-proof and extremely durable - high-quality price variant.

What is the difference between a starter battery and a utility battery?

Our powerful AGM starter batteries are used when starting the engine. They are then recharged during the journey. Utility batteries supply your on-board devices (refrigerator, lighting, multimedia, etc.) while you are standing. The supply batteries can also be recharged either via solar cells or during the journey.

What is a Dual Battery?

Our dual batteries are both starter and utility batteries. The Dual Batteries are ideal for use in small motorhomes. We recommend the use of a starter battery and one or more utility batteries.

How many utility batteries can I install?

Basically, you can adjust the quantity of your utility batteries to the available space. However, please keep in mind the weight limit of your vehicle. You can find more information in your vehicle manual.

Our batteries are packed and dispatched directly after your order by our automated packing line. The delivery time is between 1-3 days. If you need further information about your order, simply contact our service team or use the shipment tracking.

Can I return my old battery?

You can return the old battery to us in our shop. Alternatively, please dispose of the used battery at a recycling centre or scrap dealer.
Important: Ensure the respective company provides written confirmation about the disposal of the used battery.

How can I recharge the starter and utility batteries?

The starter battery is automatically recharged during a longer journey. If you wish to recharge the battery after a longer period of stationary, use a charger.

How long does it take to fully charge my starter battery?

 

The starter battery is recharged while driving by the alternator. The starter battery cannot usually  be charged enough during frequent short distances. In order for your new starter battery to last longer, you should fully charge it by driving longer journeys or using an optional charger. Alternatively, you can also install an additional solar cell.

How do I recognise the correct connection?

The easiest way is to use the data of your old battery. Or have a look at the instruction manual of your truck / commercial vehicle.

Trucks usually have a voltage of 24 volts. If you are unsure, check your old battery or your vehicle instruction manual.

What capacity do I need?

To choose the capacity you should use your old battery as a template. If you are unsure, check your used battery or your vehicle manual.

How do I know if I have Start-Stop?

Many vehicles switch off the engine during short standstills. When choosing the right starter battery, please make sure that your vehicle also has a Start-Stop automatic. For further information, please refer to your vehicle manual.
