Because they cover completely different needs!

• There is a huge difference in required cranking current (CCA – Cold Cranking Ampere) between a small petrol car engine and a large (eg 10 – 12 thousand cc) diesel engine with very high cylinder compression.

• There is a huge difference in capacity, since the batteries of a truck for eg international transport should cover entertainment and use requirements for 10-12 hours during the rest period of the professional driver (and therefore engine off).

• There is a huge difference in reliability requirements, since we are talking about vehicles that are moving 365 days a year and even in foreign countries and far from their base.

• Finally, there is a huge difference in depth and discharge cycle requirements. An automotive battery faces significantly milder use with significantly lower mechanical and electrical stress needs and requirements.

At Standard we have the ability to meet any need you may have for trucks/buses, earthmoving, agricultural and lifting equipment.
