When it comes to semi trucks and other heavy-duty transportation, E-XTEQ take’s a special interest in how you can maximize safety and efficiency. Semi truck’s play an essential role in global commerce and transportation, hauling enormous weight and value across any length of distances. Inside these powerful vehicles we find the ever crucial 12-volt battery.
Semi truck’s commonly employ a dual voltage system, which can utilize both 12-volt and 24-volt batteries in conjunction with one another to power the truck’s functions. So, despite their size, semi truck’s can rely on 12-volts in many of the same ways that your daily commuter car does: powering lighting, communications, basic electrical or infotainment systems, and various other components throughout the truck.
Heavy duty vehicles will regularly face fluctuating and problematic conditions, often for extended periods of time. Extreme weather, temperatures, elevations, and road conditions can take a toll on the health of these heavy duty vehicles. The batteries powering the semi truck during these times, will be put under an enormous range of stress, often leading to decreased performance over time.
It makes sense that semi truck’s need standard maintenance to ensure not only the capability of that vehicle to fulfill its intended use, but also to protect the safety of the operator. An unexpected loss of power in extreme weather conditions or even in extreme climates can quickly become hazardous.
Diagnostic devices, such as our DS One can give you quick and reliable feedback on the health of your battery, information that could prove priceless in the long term.
