Why is my battery not working but it is only a few months old!!!

When a battery has been fully charged it can quite happily be stored away for 2-3 months or left on the vehicle. However when a battery is flat, storing it for this period would almost certainly damage it beyond repair.

The reason behind this is a chemical process called sulphation. When a battery is charged this chemical process cannot take place. However, when the battery's voltage falls below 12.4V this process begins. The process causes Sulphur crystals to form on the lead plates inside the battery, which in turn increases the battery's electrical resistance. The longer this process is allowed to continue the worse the effect. Eventually the battery will become so electrically resistant, that you will be unable to charge the battery, let alone draw power from it.

• 100% 12.7v or + No action required, battery recharged
• 75% 12.4v No action required
• 50% 12.1v Battery must be recharged
• 25% 11.6v Battery needs a full recharge as soon as possible
• 0% 10.5v Fully discharged battery, to be recharged as soon as possible
The more a battery is discharged before each recharging, the more it loses capacity and it’s life is shortened as a result. It is imperative never to fully discharge a battery

Looks like a new floor could be required! The horse that came off this box had a very lucky escape, with this gap in the floor forming right under its hind feet.

Dont forget to lift the rubber and check your horse box/trailer floor and ramp on a regular basis. The winter off-season is the ideal chance to clean out your horsebox, and check all the floors. Better a day too soon, than a day too late!

Drop us a message anytime for a no-obligation quote to replace your horsebox floor or ramp.
We can supply new rubber matting, or in a lot of cases reuse the matting already down to save cost💰💰

Its gone rather chilly!🥶
Don't forget at this time of year to make sure all water tanks and pipes on your lorry are empty, to avoid frost damage causing your lorry to leak like this come spring!
However, if you have missed the boat and already have a leak, then give us a call and we can get it sorted for you!
