Smart Energy Solutions, Inc., developer and manufacturer of the Battery Brain electronic controller for vehicle and marine batteries, has developed and is launching a new high-capacity Battery Brain for the truck and bus markets. The company worked with several major truck and bus fleet maintenance managers to develop and test this product.
There are over 8,000,000 commercial trucks and buses in the United States, with the top 10 truck fleets having over 350,000 vehicles. Battery failure is a major concern for all fleet managers and the new Heavy Duty Battery Brain product is available for 12-volt and 24-volt systems and will withstand starter battery current draws of up to 2,000 amps. Several major fleets in both the United States and Mexico through company-approved distributors have purchased our initial production run and placed orders for the new model currently in production.
"After extensive testing and customer input, Smart Energy Solutions is pleased to introduce this new model of Battery Brain for all vehicles that have high amperage draws, diesel engines and/or multi-battery configurations," stated Pete Mateja, CEO of Smart Energy Solutions. "This new product can pay for itself in less than six months by reducing battery related service calls and delaying battery replacements due to deep cycling when batteries run down.
"The Heavy Duty Battery Brain is ideal for fleets, including the beverage and courier markets, where trucks are turned on and off frequently daily, as well as the construction and logging markets, where vehicles are known to stand idle for prolonged periods of time.”
Battery Brain is Smart Energy's flagship technology that constantly monitors electrical discharge of the battery for nearly all kinds of vehicles including automobiles, SUVs/trucks, medium and heavy duty trucks, military, buses, RVs, boats, commercial vehicles and personal watercraft. Should Battery Brain detect that the battery is losing the required charge needed to start the vehicle's engine, the device automatically disconnects the battery to preserve its starting power. In addition, Battery Brain offers a built- in anti-theft feature on some products and will extend the life of the battery.
