Mining Batteries

Handle the Toughest Conditions in the World

Among heavy-duty applications, mining sits near the top for demanding environments and relentless workloads. The equipment is expensive to run, and in harsh conditions the weak link is often the battery. Fullriver builds heavy equipment batteries designed for every part of the operation, from the diesel machines that move the earth to the auxiliary and support systems that keep a site running. The Full Throttle series starts with thin plate pure lead (TPPL) for high cranking power, strong cold cranking amps, and fast recharge, so an excavator, dozer, wheel loader, or dump truck starts dependably from shift to shift. Every battery is packed under compression into a tough ABS case, with over-the-partition connections that hold up when the vibration kicks in. Our DC, Full Force, and EGL series add deep-cycle power for reserve, standby, and electric utility-vehicle use, all with zero maintenance and no worry of spills, corrosion, or gassing.

At Fullriver, we offer a wide range of high-quality Mining Batteries.

Full Throttle Series

Each high-performance absorbent glass mat (AGM) battery in the Full Throttle Series is built with high-compression cells and a heavy-duty case for long-lasting performance. With Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology, fast charge rates, and a variety of size options, these premium batteries are designed to handle the toughest off-road conditions.

DC Series

DC Series batteries are made of thick plates built with pure virgin lead for unrivaled deep cycle performance. These fast-charging batteries can be mounted horizontally and vertically and no maintenance is required. The DC series are ultra-durable for long-lasting deep cycling power in demanding conditions.

Full Force Series

The Full Force Series offers the same benefits of the Full Throttle series with a budget-friendly price point. These fast-charging batteries feature vibration resistance, multiple installation options, and a tough outer case that prevents leaks or spills.

EGL Series

The environmentally-sustainable Eagle Series batteries have nearly double the lifespan of a traditional golf battery. These batteries are built for high performance in electrical vehicles. By offering drop-in replacement technology, very low internal resistance, and zero-maintenance capabilities, the EGL series sets itself apart.

Reliable Battery Features

Our mining battery solutions are engineered for reliable starts, deep-cycle endurance, and consistent power across heavy equipment and support systems. Key Features:

Cranks big diesel machines like excavators, bulldozers, loaders, and dump trucks, even in cold conditions.
Deep-cycle reserve capacity runs light towers, backup power, and onboard electronics for hours.
Sealed, spill-proof, and maintenance-free, with no water to refill and no acid to spill.
Compression-packed ABS case handles the constant vibration of heavy-duty equipment and commercial vehicles.
Available in 4D, 8D, and GC2 sizes, from a single service truck to a full mining fleet.

Why Choose Fullriver Battery?

Fullriver builds heavy equipment batteries designed for the two things mining sites destroy fastest: vibration and heat. The Full Throttle Series uses thin-plate pure lead (TPPL) for high-output cranking, strong cold cranking amps, and fast recharge acceptance, so excavators, dozers, wheel loaders, and haul trucks start dependably shift after shift. The DC, Full Force, and EGL Series add deep-cycle capacity for reserve power, standby systems, and electric utility vehicle use across the site. Every battery is packed under compression in a tough ABS case with over-the-partition cell connections built to hold up when the vibration kicks in, and zero maintenance means no fluid checks, no acid spills, and no corrosion at remote pit operations.

FAQs

What kind of battery does heavy mining equipment use?

Most heavy mining equipment uses a heavy-duty AGM starting battery to crank the diesel engine and run its electrical system. Machines like excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, backhoes, cranes, and dump trucks need high cranking power and fast recharge, and large diesel machines often run two batteries in series for a 24-volt system. Fullriver's Full Throttle series uses thin plate pure lead for strong cold cranking amps and quick recharge, and its compression-packed case stands up to the constant vibration of heavy-duty applications. Match your machine's group size, then confirm the fit with our Battery Finder.

What battery works best for light towers and auxiliary power?

A deep-cycle AGM battery is the standard choice for light towers, backup and standby power, telematics, and onboard electronics that draw a steady load over time. Unlike a cranking battery, a deep-cycle battery is built to be discharged and recharged repeatedly and delivers high reserve capacity for consistent power. Fullriver's DC and Full Force series come in 4D and 8D sizes for exactly this duty, sealed and maintenance-free so they can run unattended.

Are AGM batteries a good choice for mining equipment?

Yes. AGM is one of the most practical options for mining. The sealed absorbent glass mat design is maintenance-free and non-spillable, and it holds up to high temperatures, cold weather, dust, and heavy vibration far better than a flooded lead acid battery. It also delivers dependable starting and deep-cycle performance without the higher upfront cost of a lithium-ion battery. For most heavy equipment, commercial vehicles, and support systems, a quality AGM battery is the dependable, cost-effective choice.

Why do heavy equipment batteries fail early, and how do I prevent it?

The two most common causes of battery failure are vibration and incomplete charging. Constant vibration loosens the internal connections in an ordinary battery, and a diesel machine that shuts down and restarts all shift often never reaches a full charge. AGM construction resists both, with plates locked under compression and high charge acceptance that recovers capacity quickly between starts. Choosing the right battery for the job, cranking versus deep-cycle, and keeping it properly charged are the biggest factors in reliable starts and long service life.

How do Fullriver AGM batteries hold up in extreme mining conditions?

Fullriver AGM batteries are built for harsh conditions. The sealed design handles high temperatures, sub-freezing cold, dust, and the heavy vibration around excavators, dozers, and dump trucks. Thick pure lead plates and low internal resistance support strong charge acceptance and thousands of cycles in deep-cycle service, keeping both engines and support equipment powered through every shift. With a Fullriver battery in the machine, crews get dependable power and reliable starts on every shift.

Our customers' equipment performs the best it ever has

I have had the privilege of working with Fullriver as a distributor for as long as I can remember, I think around 15 years now. The quality of their build and the knowledge of their staff is second to none. I can honestly say in the 15 years and tens of thousands of batteries we have sold; I can count on both hands how many actual warranties we have had. The reassurance we have every time we sell any of their product (DC, EGL, FT series) is a great feeling, resilient to any application we have ever sold into. We know that the moment the batteries leave our warehouse, our customers' equipment is about to perform the best it ever has.
