Anti-idling system
The self-contained Eco-Air system is designed to deliver 10,000 Btu of cooling capacity per hour for 12 hours without using any of the truck’s other power sources. A patented DC Airco 12-volt air conditioner draws a maximum 46 amps. The fully integrated battery recharges using the standard truck alternator. An emergency start circuit enables the auxiliary batteries to be used in tandem with the cranking batteries when needed, virtually eliminating jump starts. The system also can supply 12-volt DC power to certain diesel-fired heaters.
