I'm sure the Interstate battery would likely start thingts the full 85 months, but I have extraordinary expectations from my 80, just like I did when I helped send $100,000 loads of frozen meat out the gate. Thus, I typically R&R the primary battery in my personal vehicle every 4 years. That sort of hard use does cause a few more problems than say, riding around in a LandCruiser, All I can say is try putting anyone else's batteries in that sort of service and see what happens. And their batteries rarely cause any issues short of that warranty in applications other than semis. But it doesn't cover things like loss of a load, obviously, no more than if your fridge went down at home. Interstate does stand behind their warranty. BTW, I'm no expert on battery chemistry, so that's the best way I can put it from a conversation more than a decade in the past. Riding in the nose of a semi for 4 years extracts a cost. Yes, there are ways to generally extend it, but they all suffer from the fact that the plates in your battery are being altered to less efficiency and becoming brittle and subject to vibration damage. Why? It's the basic limitations of lead-acid battery technology. But as a management strategy, if you want near-absolute reliability from your battery, change it every 4 years. You can't just throw a new battery in every season, which we had a problem with some techs taking an easy out for things they didn't want to dig too far for - and sometimes justified to get a load out of the gate on time. Going for absolute reliability is important with reefer batteries. On the other hand, you typical reefer unit has one battery and operates unattended most of the time.

Batteries in your truck-tractors are important, but every modern diesel has several, plus a driver who's paying attention to how it's starting, etc. I used to be involved in supporting fleet maintenance for a large grocery wholesaler. And this had input from our Interstate guy, off the record, but forthright as they do stand behind their warranty on this for lengthier periods. The second point is a broader one on batteries as we tend to know them in our automotive applications, usually some form or variant of basic lead-acid battery chemistry. Just enough to satisfy customers needs, with regular restocking. It’s designed to replace original-equipment AGMs and provide the additional power required for performance vehicles and those with a high number of accessories or plug-ins.

I've been in their local warehouse and have enough experience to see they run a tight shop in terms of turnover and fresh stock. Interstate MTX-49 12V H8 Group Series Battery The MTX delivers ideal life and power for starting and accessories. Since Interstate does batteries.yeah, that's it.their stock is pretty fresh in general. Your point on batteries being consumables brings two things to mind. Good service was a plus back when I used to buy a lot of batteries from my Interstate dealer. Most Interstate Battery outfits are independently owned, but I suspect they set a pretty high standard for partners.
