One of the biggest challenges fleet managers face is keeping truck batteries charged—particularly with the greater electrical demands on today’s trucks. But maintaining fully charged batteries is not an issue with the Delco Remy Remote Sense technology.
Remote Sense monitors voltage at the battery with a second wire that reads the actual voltage and signals the alternator to boost its output to compensate for any voltage drops. This increases the life of a battery and boosts its efficiency. In fact, it can improve battery charge time by as much as 50 percent. And, not surprisingly, that’s led to a decrease in warranty claims by 30 percent.
Alternators with Remote Sense are particularly effective on vehicles that
make frequent stops, such as school buses, delivery trucks and trucks with
lift gates. That’s why we’ve included it on our newest alternator models for
heavy duty applications, including the 28SI™, 35SI™, 36SI and 40SI.
When there’s a job to do, there’s no time to wait for batteries to charge–
or worse–for them to be jumpstarted or replaced (not to mention the costs
accompanied with both!). At the end of the day, Remote Sense can make the
difference between batteries that are fully charged and those that aren’t—
and your customers’ ability to do their jobs as a result.
Remote Sense is ideal for any application that makes frequent stops including:
• School buses
• Trucks with lift gates
• Delivery trucks
