Summer Trucking Heat Hack No.13: Electrical Failure
This summer trucking heat hack is of a paramount importance. By and large, heat can corrode the battery’s current conducting grids, as well the battery sulfating will occur more rapidly in summer months.
Not only that, summer trucking can cause a high risk of corrosion of the:
- Wiring;
- Cables;
- Batteries;
First and foremost truck drivers should inspect the wiring and cables for any corrosion as well as frays. From here on truck drivers should have in mind that when working with a battery there is a high risk of electrical shock. So be precautious!
Further, summer trucking and tire pressure can lead to additional vibration when in motion. Later on, that results in a potential battery destabilization.
