6 StrongBox For all makes of heavy- and light-duty farm, ranch and construction equipment, utility and lawn and garden equipment, and marine. StrongBox batteries are built tough to demanding John Deere specs. No other brand compares with the high-quality construction and internal and external components. Battery Freshness John Deere has previously offered StrongBox batteries only as a dry-charged form. The StrongBox dry-charged process ensures that batteries remain in a state of life animation until they are activated with electrolyte at which time they are born as brand-new wet-charged batteries. The freshly activated battery is in fact a brand-new wet-charged battery especially if immediately receiving a brief freshening charge. Data is on file of drycharged batteries stored for 50+ years and still performing as new after an activation followed by a boost charge. Lower-Cost Convenience Now, John Deere offers some high-volume StrongBox batteries in an activated form pre-filled with electrolyte and charged. These batteries are ready to install when they arrive at the dealership. They provide the same high-quality components and construction as the dry-charged StrongBox with the convenience of ready-to-install. Some dealers prefer the labor and cost savings of electrolyte that comes with the activated StrongBox batteries. In addition to potential savings at the dealership, these batteries have a lower manufacturing and distribution cost resulting in a lower price than a similar dry-charged battery. 6

7 1 Dry-charged or activated at the factory, offering a choice with the same high-quality components. 2 Through-the-wall welded intercell connectors are 12-percent larger than some brands to provide increased power for quick starts in extreme cold. 3 Super radial grid design with inboard lug provides higher cranking amps, faster charges, and a more efficient design for lowering electrical resistance. 4 Extra-heavy plates give extra reserve power, especially in extreme cold. 5 Microporous plastic envelope separators eliminate electrical shorts and keep positive material from touching the negative plate. 6 Epoxy-anchored plates are four times stronger than traditional plates to reduce vibration damage a leading cause of failure in commercial batteries. Backed by the John Deere warranty. See pages for specific test data Features shown are applicable to heavyduty, commercial StrongBox batteries and StrongBox special-application tractor batteries, and are not necessarily applicable to all types of StrongBox batteries. 7

8 StrongBox Silver Technology Advanced, maintenance-free technology perfect for heavy- and light-duty farm, ranch, construction, utility, and lawn and garden equipment. Maintenance-free StrongBox Silver Technology is particularly suited to high-temperature operating conditions. Silver tech alloy construction resists corrosion and provides longer service life in high-heat conditions. Efficient radial pattern provides faster high-voltage starts. Full-perimeter frame rails increase durability and provide longer service life. Positive cast-grid design with increased internal grid wire diameter improves corrosion resistance and increases durability. Small grid windows improve active material retention. Large lug width and height increase durability and prove longer service life. Epoxy-anchored plates for reduced vibration. Maintenance-free no need to add water during normal service life. Backed by the John Deere warranty. In addition to the same superior features as a regular StrongBox, these batteries feature a special alloy grid designed to extend life in high-heat operating environments. 8

10 StrongBox Test Data At John Deere we have always known that our StrongBox branded battery was the best battery available for John Deere equipment because of the specifications that our factory engineers require. However, many competitive battery companies also boast about their own brands of batteries. So how can you as a dealer or your customer tell the difference between battery performance when all batteries look alike? To prove that our battery will perform better than the competition we decided to have the John Deere StrongBox battery tested against the most common competitive battery brands in the U.S. and Canada. To provide an unbiased comparison we had an independent battery test laboratory run a battery of SAE tests on a John Deere StrongBox battery as well as comparable batteries branded by Interstate Batteries, Deka, and PowerVolt. The test results shown in this battery guide prove that the John Deere StrongBox battery provides performance in the SAE J930 Vibration Test and the SAE J2185 Life Test that exceeds the other three brands of batteries. The graphs included in this guide indicate that StrongBox batteries will provide more reliable engine starts and longer battery life than the competition.

12 StrongBox AGM For all makes of a wide range of machines including trucks, agricultural, and construction equipment. StrongBox AGM batteries boast absorbent glass-mat technology, whereby all acid is retained in a thick and absorptive mat that acts much like a sponge. Since the acid can t spill or expand through freezing, the battery can be used in any orientation without damage due to leakage even if the battery s case is somehow broken. 1 Extra-heavy straps create superior conductivity, strength, and durability for long battery life. 2 Heavy cast grids for superior quality and durability that ensure long, trouble-free battery life. 3 Flat-plate absorbed glass mat means no free-flowing electrolyte will leak from the battery. 4 Six-valve isolated design allows gas to escape in the event of an overcharge without compromising seal quality. 5 Through-the-partition intercell welding ensures ultimate conductivity and resistance to vibration. Backed by the supplier warranty This relatively new technology employs an absorbent glass mat to create a battery that excels when nonhazardous leakproof performance and long life are essential. 12

In general, 50 percent of batteries fail due to the natural internal corrosion process that reduces chemical effectiveness. Continuous use in extreme heat applications is also key to battery failure. The other 50 percent of battery failure is due to poor maintenance, improper charging, or abuse. Unfortunately, improperly charged batteries are often mistakenly considered failed and discarded or turned in as a warranty claim, which is costly for both dealer and customer. TO PROLONG BATTERY LIFE: Check batteries every spring and fall for leakage, state-ofcharge, and loose or frayed wires. Ensure terminals are clean of corrosion. Always use the right battery type for the application at hand. Never overfill batteries with electrolyte this may cause leakage that can damage a battery. Disconnect the battery ground cable if equipment will not be used for a long time. This will reduce power drainage and help prolong battery life. Use of a John Deere automobile battery maintainer safely charges most batteries that require long storage periods. 23

For applications that require a true dualpurpose battery. StrongBox AGM batteries are engineered to provide at least 2x the cycle life and 14x the vibration resistance versus conventional flooded lead-acid batteries. They are ideal for over-the-road trucks, boats, RVs, construction and agricultural equipment, audiophiles, emergency vehicles, and a litany of other applications that demand a significant increase in life durability versus conventional flooded lead-acid battery. Less maintenance StrongBox AGM line of batteries means reduced maintenance. Most of the expense, time, and safety concerns typically associated with conventional flooded battery maintenance are reduced or eliminated under normal operating conditions. This includes cell watering, acid spills, corrosion damage, and self-discharging combined with longer intervals between battery replacements. Required charging profile StrongBox AGM batteries are designed to operate under normal temperature compensated voltage and current alternator ranges when in vehicle use, but require a specific recharge profile when using standalone chargers to maximize battery life. Failure to follow the recommended guidelines could shorten the expected battery life and void the warranty. 35
