LOWELL, Ark. - Every fleet knows the frustration of needing to use a vehicle that has been inactive for some time, and finding that the battery is dead due to parasitic loads sapping power over time. The Solar Dash™ helps to counter parasitic loads by providing solar energy to the truck batteries even when the truck is not in use. By using solar energy, you can ensure your vehicle will function when needed. The Solar Dash is plugged into a 12 V power port and placed on the dash to help keep tractor batteries charged over periods of inactivity. The Solar Dash has a 20 W solar panel that feeds the batteries during periods of inactivity. The system works with most heavy-duty vehicles. Having these products installed on your vehicles and trailers will ensure that when you need your batteries to work, they’ll be charged and ready. Batteries kept at a high state of charge are healthier and last longer, providing added value and savings. During the longer days of summer, Purkeys’ solar products will supply more charge to equipment and generate even greater value for fleets.
