🔋 Cold-resistant batteries and boosters – How to Ensure Starting in Winter

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:

  🔹 Ensure a reliable start – 5 tips before the freeze
