Refining the Electric APU
Diesel APU
(Diesel Generator)
A veteran of the industry, this APU uses a small diesel engine to generate electricity. This electricity then runs the air conditioning and heating unit in the truck cabin.
Electric APU
(AGM Battery)
This option takes a battery-based approach by using sealed lead-acid absorbent glass mats to power the climate control system and other appliances.
Electric APU
(Deep Cycle Lithium Battery)
Proven in the RV and marine markets, this is the most cutting-edge option leveraging lithium iron phosphate batteries for quiet and efficient operation.
Electric APU
(Cranking Lithium Battery)
Direct drop-in replacement for your lead acid cranking batteries, 2-in-1 dual purpose starting and eAPU, all season battery, weight reduction and smart operation, quick installation, and truly the simplest APU setup ever for trucks.
The Simpler The Better
Diesel APU
(Diesel Generator)
-
Fuel Consumption & Emisson: Despite reducing idling, they burn diesel fuel, increasing operating costs and contributing to air pollution.
-
Maintenance Demands: These mechanical units require regular maintenance and are prone to wear and tear, potentially leading to breakdowns.
-
Noise disruption: Their operation can be noisy and cause vibrations, disrupting driver sleep during rest periods.
-
Cost: People spend 12k-15k for one unit, plus continuous fuel cost, maintenance cost and repair cost.
Electric APU
(AGM Battery)
-
Battery Weight: a Group 31 AGM battery weighs roughly 70 lbs, over 2 times over heavier than a lithium battery
-
Alternator Upgrade : Electric APU application which contains AGM batteries requires truck alternator to be upgraded to 300 amp or more. Wiring and cabling have to be updated as well.
-
Quick Degrade: Excessive deep discharges below 50% capacity and sustained high heat levels above 77°F can degrade AGM batteries prematurely
-
Life Span: 3-5 years
Electric APU
(Deep Cycle Lithium Battery)
-
Battery Weight: a Group 31 lithium battery weighs roughly 20-30 lbs, significantly lighter than AGM battery
-
Isolated Lithium Battery Bank: Because this lithium battery can't crank the truck, it has to be setup as an isolated battery bank to supply power for A/C. It needs a battery charger for charging purpose, however, the charging speed is high depended on the charger.
-
Alternator life: Due to additional lithium battery bank added to the alternator load, alternator is working more, and the alternator life will be shortened.
Electric APU
(Cranking Lithium Battery)
-
Battery Weight: a Group 31 lithium battery weighs roughly 30 lbs, significantly lighter than AGM battery.
-
Drop-In Solution: Direct replacement of your starting batteries, no additional battery box and cables needed.
-
Installation: Quick and Easy, same as your replacing your starting batteries.
-
Smart: This battery is designed for starting the truck and power all your household needs. It automatically shut off at 12%/25% (depends on the outside temperature)
-
All Season Operating Temperature: -40F-149F.
-
Simplest and Transparent APU: No more secrecy from the Diesel APU and most electric APUs, Polar Fox eAPU's standard package includes two components: BATTERY and A/C unit. The simplier and the better!!!
