Introduction 

The frosts of November put your equipment to the test – and often the first component to give in is the battery. When you need to get on the road in the morning but there isn’t enough power for even a startup, you’re quickly out of luck.
Fortunately, with the right battery choice and a quality booster, you can prevent these issues completely. Now is the perfect time to check your power sources before the coldest mornings of winter arrive.


🔹 Why doesn’t the battery handle the cold?
Cold weather affects your battery in several ways:

  • The battery’s chemical reaction slows down, reducing starting power
  • Power consumption increases at startup (thick oil, preheating, lights)
  • An old or undercharged battery freezes more easily 

    👉 Tip: Check your battery’s charge level, terminal condition, and age before the cold sets in – prevention is always cheaper than being stranded with dead equipment.


🔹 Arctic Power – the battery made for Finnish winter
Arctic Power batteries are designed to withstand exactly the conditions November brings: cold, humidity, and vibration.

  • High starting current (EN rating) ensures reliable startups even in low temperatures
  • Robust cell structure and excellent vibration resistance
  • “Magic Eye” charge indicator makes it easy to check battery condition
  • Available in multiple sizes for 12 V and 24 V systems – for trucks, heavy machinery, and buses 

    🟩 Proxel’s tip: Replace the battery in time before problems occur – a frozen battery is often beyond repair. 

    🔹 NOCO Boost – instant power, anywhere
    When you run out of power on the road, a reliable lithium booster is worth its weight in gold. The NOCO Boost series offers a compact yet powerful solution that’s easy to keep with you: 
  • 12 V and 24 V models up to 3000 A
  • Spark-proof, reverse polarity protected, and impact-resistant design
  • USB charging and a bright LED light make it a versatile tool 

    🟦 For example: 
  • Genius Boost XL (12 V, 1500 A) – for passenger cars and vans
  • Genius Boost Max (24 V, 3000 A) – for heavy-duty professionals

    🔹 Ensure a reliable start – 5 tips before the freeze
    ✅ Fully charge the battery before the cold season
    ✅ Inspect terminals and ground connections
    ✅ Keep a reliable booster with you
    ✅ Start the engine regularly during long idle periods
    ✅ Store the battery in a warm place if the vehicle will sit unused for a long time
