Winter Tractor Battery Maintenance
Cold weather puts extra strain on tractor batteries, making maintenance essential for reliable starts all winter.
Batteries produce less power in freezing temperatures, and a low charge can leave you stranded when you need your tractor most.
Key Tips for Winter Battery Care:
- Keep it charged above 70% to maintain starting power in cold.
- Remove corrosion with a wire brush and baking soda solution to ensure a good connection.
- For lead-acid batteries, add distilled water if needed to prevent damage.
- A trickle charger prevents discharge during cold storage or long idle periods.
- Keep batteries indoors in a cool, dry place above freezing when not in use for extended periods.
Regular maintenance extends battery life and helps you avoid frustrating winter startup issues.
