Be Prepared for Winter: Stock Up on Batteries, Starters, and Alternators

While the warmth of summer may make winter feel distant, it’s never too early to prepare! Machine owners and fleet managers must ensure they maintain a reliable stock of essential parts, particularly batteries, starters, and alternators. These components are critical for smooth machine operation, minimizing inconvenient breakdowns and costly downtimes during the harshest months of the year for your customers.

Batteries: The Power to Start

Winter poses significant challenges for machine batteries. Cold temperatures reduce their efficiency, slowing the chemical reactions that generate power and making engine starts more difficult. In fact, a battery at -18°C has only half the cranking power compared to one at 27°C. Keeping a supply of batteries on hand ensures prompt replacement of any that fail due to cold or other issues, maintaining machine reliability. This preparedness is especially critical for businesses relying on a fleet of machines, as downtime can translate to significant financial loss.

Starters: The Ignition of Operation

The starter motor is essential for getting your engine running, particularly in cold weather when engines are harder to crank. Extreme cold can cause the engine oil to thicken, making it more difficult for the starter to turn the engine over. Having a supply of starters on hand can be a lifesaver when temperatures drop, ensuring that you can promptly address any starter failures. This proactive measure helps maintain the operational readiness of your machines, reducing the risk of being stranded due to a failed start.

Alternators: Keeping the Charge

Winter places additional demands on the alternator due to increased use of lights, heaters, and other electrical accessories. An alternator failure can quickly drain the battery, rendering the machine inoperable. By keeping alternators on hand, you can promptly replace faulty units, ensuring that your machines remain operational and your batteries stay charged throughout the winter months.

The Advantage of Remanufactured Parts

Opting for remanufactured parts, such as batteries, starters, and alternators, offers significant benefits. Remanufactured parts are typically less expensive than new ones, providing cost savings without compromising quality. These parts are rebuilt to meet our strict OEM specifications, ensuring reliability and performance. Additionally, choosing remanufactured parts is environmentally friendly as it reduces waste and the demand for raw materials. This sustainable choice not only supports your budget but also contributes to environmental conservation efforts.

In conclusion, ensuring you have a ready stock of batteries, starters, and alternators before winter is essential for maintaining machine reliability and minimizing downtime. Opting for remanufactured parts can further enhance your preparedness by offering cost-effective and environmentally responsible solutions.
