FAQs
How Do I Choose the Right Battery for My 4WD or 4x4 Vehicle?
This will come down to how you use your 4WD. Consider factors such as how much power you’ll draw from accessories, the type of battery chemistry you prefer (AGM or lithium), and the space you have available. Match your preferred battery with a compatible DC–DC charger and isolator for reliable performance.
What is the Typical Lifespan of a 4WD Battery?
Most 4WD batteries will last a good 4 to 8 years, depending on the quality, maintenance, and how often they’re discharged. Making use of smart chargers and isolators will help extend their life.
Can I Use a Standard Car Battery in my 4WD?
While you can, we strongly advise against it here at Autobox. Standard batteries aren’t built for deep cycling or powering accessories for longer periods, and they’ll wear out much faster under heavy load.
How Do I Maintain and Care for My 4WD Battery?
To maintain good battery health, it’s best to keep terminals clean, inspect the battery for corrosion, and avoid ever fully draining your battery. Regularly checking charge levels with a monitor will help maintain performance.
What is a Dual Battery System in a 4WD Vehicle?
A dual battery system utilises a second battery to power accessories while keeping your starter battery fully charged. It’s an ideal setup for touring, camping, or undertaking remote work.
Why Should I Install a Dual Battery System in My 4WD?
A dual battery system will ensure you can run fridges, lights and other gear without draining your main battery. This provides greater peace of mind when you’re off-grid.
Can I Install a Dual Battery System Myself?
You can if you want, but we’d advise against it if you don’t have previous experience doing so. Professional installation helps ensure everything’s safely rated and wired correctly.
