showrooms and the front brochures that are provided by the tyre manufacturers,
every tyre providing company can give you the benefits and the features of a
tyre. When you visit a showroom for buying a 4WD tyre ask them how much
practical they are, about the real-life experience they have driving off-road and
lot more. You can even ask the people standing there about their experience
with different types of tyres and the tread patterns. You will definitely find
people having knowledge and experience to give you some smart advice.

companies work on making their tyres more strong so that they would be
available at their particular dealers only. They show their major emphasis on
four wheel driving. Also these companies offer their staff to make an
experience by driving off the road and should test the different tread
patterns.
Some companies even allow you to come and
know how they make and design their 4WD tyres. People visit them and come to

Enhance the Battery Life of Your Vehicle with Dual Battery System
If you are looking for improving the efficiency of your
battery, then investing on a dual battery system will definitely help you. This
could be a little costly but it will help you in solving a number of issues
regarding insufficient power supply for any type of vehicle that you have.
The basic meaning of
a Dual battery System:
This is an electrical device that separate and distribute
direct current to the other related branches very effectively. It allows the
current to pass in one direction in every area that is asking for power supply.
This dual battery system allows you to discharge one battery completely without
discharging the preliminary battery. This is not just useful for car owners but
it is highly useful for fishermen for their boats. Because they have to travel
a lot and they cannot ask for any help in the middle of the ocean or sea so
they have to make arrangements for making the battery life of their boat go
longer.
This is one of the simple and technologically advanced
methods for programmed battery isolation systems. The units present in the
battery are mounted in between the batteries. They are connected with each
other through a common ground. This helps in charging procedure of the
batteries. It also continues to produce isolation between the two batteries
when the origin of charging is inaccessible. The little and rugged size of
these batteries allow an easy and a quick setup for the inexperienced drivers.
You can divide this
battery isolator into two types:
- Solenoid Isolator
- Diode Isolator
Solenoid Isolator:
Solenoid helps you to control the current flow between the two batteries with
the help of high-current relays. One of the major advantages of this Solenoid
Isolator is that it allows maintenance of voltage across the contacts. However,
people who are using this type of isolator says that it is not very much
dependable as compared to the isolators based on diode.
Diode Isolator: This
type of isolator contains two high current diodes. They function as heat sink
that is known as the best for the car batteries. The very common example for
dual battery systems are ATV dual battery system and smart battery system.
Installation of this type of battery is easy with their installation kits and
guide. The major benefit of this type of battery system is it has a very long
life and do not ask for regular maintenance.
The most important advantage of using the dual battery kit
is it allows you to charge several batteries from a single resource at one time
without even connecting the battery terminals together. This ensures you that there
are enough power to initiate the engine and it can also accommodate high
electric current loads.
