Maintenance Free Battery Available For Use In On-Highway Trucks And Buses{1401}

Usage:

A group 31 size maintenance free battery is available for use in many on-highway truck and bus applications. The 3T8198 Battery is a 12 volt battery that is rated at 625 amperes and has a reserve capacity of 160 minutes.

These new batteries can be used as a replacement for most group 29H and 30H 12 volt batteries. Also, three of these new batteries can be used in applications where four of the group 4 or 4H six volt batteries are used. Under these conditions, the three 3T8198 Batteries will have the same voltage as the four group 4 or 4H batteries, but, the 3T8198 Batteries will have 25% more power for starts.

For a list of applications in which the 3T8198 Battery can be used, see the Caterpillar Battery Cross Reference Guide, Form PECP3300.
