Battery-powered APU technology is relatively new to the trucking industry, so there are not many options when it comes to repairing or improving these systems. This means that not many long-haul drivers have had the chance to trial a lithium-powered battery in their APU and see if it\u2019s worth the higher upfront cost. At Roadwarrior, we developed lithium batteries instead of lead-acid ones because they make truck APUs work much better. We\u2019re talking about a maintenance-free battery with a 10\u00d7 longer lifespan, that doubles the power in sleeper cabs and improves fuel efficiency!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But with a higher price point, we don\u2019t expect drivers or fleet managers to take our word for it that lithium is better! We gave The Erb Group of Companies<\/a> enough LightningVolt<\/a> lithium batteries to trial in trucks they run from Northern Canada down to California, Texas and Florida. 10 months later we came back to chat with Senior Corporate Fleet Director Jim Pinder about the results! Jump down<\/a> to watch the video or read on to learn about The Erb Group of Companies and the trial run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
