New Battery Protection Product for Fleets from Idle Smart
Idle Smart, the provider of an automatic engine start stop solution, has announced Battery Protect™, a new feature that continuously monitors battery voltage levels and will start and run a vehicle’s engine to recharge batteries.
The goal of the new product is to help ensure fleet uptime and hassle free starting.
“With Battery Protect, fleets have the ability to customize voltage thresholds and recharge run times,” said Ryan Bennett, VP product and marketing at Idle Smart.
“Idle Smart constantly monitors truck battery voltage, automatically starts the engine when it drops to a pre-set level and runs it for a pre-determined amount of time, eliminating the need for electric shore power-based systems or someone to go out and manually start the truck,” Bennett added.
The need is substantial.
“Battery drain is an issue for fleets, at parking facilities where drivers require hotel loads for comfort and convenience items, and especially during 34-hour rest periods required by new Hours of Service regulations,” Bennett continued.
“Battery Protect can intelligently monitor and help eliminate battery drain so trucks are ready to meet operational needs, and avoid the high cost of a service call and possible downtime.”
