SkelStart: Engine Starting Power from -40°C to 65°C

Why Mining Batteries Lose Capacity at -40°C and Above 35°C

For mining operations running from the frozen Canadian North to the scorching heart of Africa, battery-only starting is a constant liability.

• Batteries lose up to 50% of their capacity in cold temperatures

• Batteries lose another 50% for every 10°C above 25°C

• No-start situations drive unplanned downtime, boosts, and battery swap-outs

The result is shorter battery life, more replacements, and avoidable hits to mining maintenance costs across fleet operations.
