Dragonfly Energy introduces all-electric APU
Deep cycle lithium-ion battery supplier Dragonfly Energy has introduced the Battle Born All-Electric APU (auxiliary power unit). The lithium-ion battery system provides ample wattage to run auxiliary power on trucks, even when they are not running.
The APU allows truckers to operate HVAC, appliances, and other electronics while the truck is off, with zero harmful emissions and no loud engine idling. The unit also recharges while the truck is being driven.
With one-fifth of the weight compared to traditional lead-acid batteries in the same physical space, the APU provides truckers with more capacity for their payload, according to a news release.
