EnerSys has launched its Odyssey Performance Series batteries for buses.
Optimised to meet high load demands, EnerSys says the batteries offer a solution to fleet operators who are facing a sharp rise in battery-related vehicle breakdowns.
It says today’s vehicle and driver systems are demanding ever-higher levels of performance, beyond what conventional batteries were designed for.
A typical battery challenge is to support a ‘hotel load’ without the need to restart the engine, while retaining enough reserve power to reliably start the engine again the following morning – and to repeat this without fail throughout the battery’s operating life.
The Odyssey Performance Series are improved by Advanced Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology, which provides “unrivalled” capacity, strength and life, meaning vehicles are more reliable, and the total cost of ownership is substantially reduced.
Phil Arrowsmith, Director Specialty Market EMEA at EnerSys, says: “The Odyssey Performance Series battery range is what modern transport and service vehicles have been waiting for.
“Tried and tested in the heavy-duty vehicle market for more than five years, these superior batteries harness the power of TPPL battery technology to deliver massive starting and endurance ability.”
