During the winter months, your battery needs a certain amount of cold cranking amps.
24VDC * a 12VDC battery with 1,225 cold cranking amps * a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery * a completely sealed, absorbed glass mat (AGM) technology that contains only a small amount of electrolyte in each cell chamber [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Also, practically no maintenance beyond checking and recharging (if needed) is required, except for removal of dust, dirt or very rare corrosion buildup on the exterior of the battery.
Many factors define the type of battery you'll need for your vehicle, physical size, cold cranking amps, top or side mounted terminals, and more.
