First National Battery keeps SA trucks moving

The efficiency and performance of trucks on South African roads has a significant bearing on the competitiveness of local industries that rely on road freight. The reliability and durability of truck batteries is vital to the functioning of the freight operation itself.

World-class technology made locally

"Our heavy-duty Raylite truck batteries are made specifically for the challenging conditions of South African roads," says First National Battery Marketing Director, Andrew Webb. "They can withstand the poor road conditions and rugged terrain that long distance haulers - and agricultural equipment - are subjected to."

"Competitor batteries simply don't match up to the First National Battery standard," adds Webb. "The most common problems experienced by customers when using standard batteries are broken straps, acid spillage or the disintegration of active materials, so we've crafted our batteries to combat all of this possible damage."

The industry standard

Many South African industries, other than freight trucks, rely heavily on Raylite batteries to function. Industrial machinery reliant on these batteries includes long-distance haulers, construction vehicles, open cast mining vehicles, tractors, harvesters and refuse removal. In short, First National Battery's technology is at the heart of many flourishing South African industries.

Innovation that delivers

Heavy-duty Raylite batteries are fully equipped with world-class technological enhancements, for increased battery performance and extended cycle life. Features include:

  • Enhanced performance
  • Improved safety
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Maintenance free (under normal operation conditions)
  • Proven reliability
  • Longer life
  • Two-year warranty

    "When your most precious cargo is on the back of a truck, the benefit of a reliable, state-of-the-art, durable battery is significant," says Webb, "Add to that the fact that our batteries are fully recyclable and come with a two-year warranty, and it's a no-brainer."
