Glacier Bay has partnered with Trojan Battery Company to provide a ClimaCab climate control system with Trojan's OverDrive AGM 31 Battery
.

"Their OverDrive AGM 31 battery is designed specifically for the ClimaCab application," said Charles Fetter, ClimaCab general manager. "Customers will reap the rewards of an extremely efficient idle-reduction technology package."

ClimaCab is an all-electric auxiliary power unit (APU) climate control system for Class 8 trucks designed to provide air conditioning and heating during driver rest periods without idling the main truck engine. ClimaCab includes the Power Management Module (PMM) to maximize battery charging, battery life, and system run time. The PMM matches the charging system to the battery's factory-set profile, resulting in higher battery efficiency, longer duty cycles, and reduced operator costs, the company says.

Trojan's OverDrive AGM 31 deep cycle is a sealed, absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery built specifically for idle-reduction technology in the heavy-duty truck industry. Its high power density, cycling and deep discharge characteristics provide a steady current over extended periods of time when truck engines are turned off.

"The battery is a critical component of any electric APU, and the electrical demands of today's APUs require a battery with true deep cycle design characteristics," said Elke Hirschman, vice president of marketing for Trojan Battery Company.
