Exploring Low Voltage Batteries for Heavy-Duty Trucks

Episode 301: In the old days, batteries for heavy-duty trucks had an easy job. They powered the starter to start the truck and they provided power for the interior lights, the radio, and maybe the clock on the dashboard. These days, batteries are tasked more than ever before. They power HVAC components, safety components, and the many computers inside a modern-day truck. If your batteries are dead, the 21st-century truck just won’t function, let alone start. In this week’s episode, we’re speaking to Clarios, one of the leading battery manufacturers in the world. They’re pioneering low-voltage battery solutions for electric and ICE trucks. These 12-volt batteries can power features with a constant power draw, leaving the high-voltage batteries for starting the truck. Listen to the episode to find out more about low-voltage batteries and how you can avoid premature failure of your batteries.
