For individuals traveling with batteries, lithium-ion tends to get the most attention. Airlines have begun to ban all Li-ion batteries in checked baggage on passenger flights, largely limiting the transportation of lithium batteries that are not already in consumer goods to cargo airplanes only. But lithium batteries are not the only type that can cause serious damage during transit. Lead-acid batteries should be transported with care to limit the risks of shipping a hazardous material.

If you depend on batteries in business or at home, then you know that real-world results -- and tips -- beat marketing hype every time.

As we write this, we're more than a year into a global pandemic – and a worldwide transportation shortage. Add raw material shortages and high demand, and it's a recipe for costly delays.

When factories move their business overseas it hurts not only the families that depended on that job, but also the community as whole. At Crown Battery, we’ve brought jobs to the United States for more than a decade, and we proudly manufacture all our lead batteries here in Fremont, OH, USA. Read how you, and our team, benefit from Made in USA quality.

Your customers want to know that the battery investment they make is going to last. They want to feel secure that they are not going to find their forklift dead during a busy shipping season or their boat stuck in the dock on the first day of fishing season. Of course, all batteries die at some point. But the better a battery is maintained, the longer its life will be. And it is your job as a dealer to make sure that your customers know how to maintain their battery purchase.
