- Battery for northern territories
In the Far North, you can ride not only reindeer, but also cars. Only the rechargeable battery needs to be selected so that it does not inadvertently freeze. In the northern regions of Russia, car owners often purchase additional batteries for the winter period, which are more resistant to harsh conditions. And by the summer they change them to those that used to stand.
It should be noted right away that gel batteries that are popular nowadays are not very suitable for northern conditions, since the gel in them does not like severe frosts at all. It freezes corny and does not give the desired result. The review presents batteries that allow you to safely drive around the wide expanses of the North.

Conclusion
So, if you intend to use a car for trips around the edges, where the climate is harsh, then when looking for a battery, it is recommended to especially take into account such indicators as capacity and current strength. After all, an ordinary battery is designed to perform its functions at 27 degrees - the temperature that allows the battery to demonstrate the greatest power. Which is difficult to achieve at minus 25, for example.
And in general, it is better to take the choice of a battery with sufficient seriousness so that later you do not have to drag a car with a dead battery to the garage with the help of a reindeer team.
