​ High-frequency liftgate applications require fleets to pull power from every available source to keep liftgate batteries charged. Liftgate charging systems like Purkeys’ SELECT and DIRECT utilize the stinger cord,…

​ Trucks that sit on the lot for long periods of time have a hard time keeping batteries fully charged. This is because parasitic loads slowly drain batteries over time.…

< Multimeters are devices that combine multiple electrical measurement functions in one unit. These instruments typically measure voltage, electric current and resistance. In order to get the most from a…

The concept of charging a battery is simple. There must be higher voltage to push against the battery to force charge into it in order to keep it fully charged.…

​ Batteries operate more efficiently when they are fully charged. This applies to the battery that runs the hydraulic motor of a dump trailer. When the battery can stay almost…
