Can your trucks get too cranked up?

Truck Battery Cranking

Yes. When it comes to your Cold Cranking Amps (CCA), excessive cranking power is not a good thing for class 8 truck batteries.

According to The Maintenance Council’s (TMC) Recommended Practice manual (RP 131B) excessive CCA’s can degrade connections throughout the cranking system, tax the drive assembly, ring gears and pinion as well as create a higher potential for starter burnout.

The better alternative is a battery that offers optimized cranking power balanced with cycle service capabilities to better protect the longevity of your vehicles.

Batteries with over a 1000 CCAs are usually excessive. Multiply that CCA overage for each battery in a bank of four and you get unnecessary system stress.

Not only do Fahrenheit batteries keep it cooler, but they have a more optimized CCA rating than some other competitor offerings, and that’s by design. At 925 CCAs you’ll have plenty of engine cranking power, you’ll also maximize the system’s efficiency and its longevity.

If you’re going to get “cranked up” about anything, it should be the value you receive from Fahrenheit technology. You get the industry-leading technology at an extremely completive price, and that’s worth being excited about.
