Hardcore – No.1 for range, cranking power and capacity in agricultural batteries.

In the past most agricultural machinery was just that – agricultural, basic. Batteries in these older tractors and harvesters were required to start the engine, nothing more. There was little if anything in the way of accessories apart from maybe a set of headlights.

Fast-forward to the 21st century and most modern farm machinery is fully-loaded with a host of electronic systems, creature comforts, monitors, computers and automated systems that previous generations of farmers could only dream of.

These improvements have made newer farm machinery far more efficient and productive, but have also changed the role of the battery from basic starting device, to vital power storage component of the entire electrical system.

Hardcore Agricultural batteries are at the forefront in introducing an entire new range of ultra-high capacity batteries to meet these increased demands, to ensure original equipment specifications can be maintained or even exceeded, ensuring OEM quality and reliability continues long after the original battery dies.

Commercial vehicles can be very hard on batteries – none more so than mining applications. 

Large and powerful machinery operating in the harshest of environments demand batteries of the highest quality and highest capacities to survive where ordinary batteries fail in short order.

The Hardcore Commercial Batteries range includes several sizes designed and built specifically for mining industry use, with several significant features and upgrades proven to deliver more power, more reliably, and for longer.

• Thicker, stronger full frame plates made from lead-calcium alloy with high tin content and added silver
• Taller plates with more surface area deliver increased cranking power and higher reserve capacity
• Anti-vibration double lock-bonded elements
• Large 3mm plate to busbar radius improves reliability and safety (reduced risk of explosion)
• Silver-Calcium plate technology provides lowest water-loss, even in high-heat environments, further reducing risk of explosion
• Diesel Genset models feature maintenance-free internals in serviceable casing to meet Worksafe guidelines
