Absolutely! Carrier eCool assets are eTRUs that offer the capability of charging the battery from the e-axle when the vehicle is moving, ensuring that the asset has enough charge to last until the trip is completed and the driver is safely back at the warehouse.

Battery packs are designed to last for an average of 10 years with a residual capacity of 70%, assuming standard usage recommendations are followed.

It depends on the TRU application and battery capacity. On average, a charge can last from 90 minutes to 8 hours with current battery capacity.

It will vary depending on the application.

Several factors can impact battery performance. Take precautionary measures to improve battery performance and longevity.

All battery chemistries have unique characteristics such as power, life cycle, safety, and temperature range. Battery performance is mostly impacted by battery care and maintenance, including regularly rebalancing the battery, reducing exposure to extreme temperatures, and avoiding frequent deep discharges.

The battery displays “inactive” when it is neither giving nor receiving power. The battery displays “offline” when it is not reporting any data.

The batteries require an average of 2-3 hours of being connected to the grid to fully charge (depending on model and capacity). To rebalance the battery, the battery must be continuously plugged into the grid for 5 to 6 hours.

The battery connects directly to any outlet that can support 400 volts – 32 Amps.

The battery does not have a DC fast-charging option at this time, which could impact battery lifespan. Our current design has the plug-in capability that can charge to 80% in approximately 70 minutes.

Carrier eCool assets are equipped with an e-axle that uses the energy from the vehicle while driving to charge the battery.

Battery packs are designed to work at optimal performance when all cells have equal capacity. As the battery is used for power, battery cells become unbalanced. Rebalancing the battery cells to equal capacity is crucial to the health and life of the battery. To rebalance the battery, it must be continuously plugged into the grid for 5 to 6 hours. Batteries should be rebalanced at least once every 7 days.

Rebalancing is critical to the battery's health and life. Rebalancing becomes overdue if the battery has not been continuously plugged in to the grid for 5-6 hours at least once every 7 days.

Deep discharge occurs when the battery is drained to critically low levels, typically less than 20% of full charge (real capacity). Consistently discharging the battery to these low levels can damage the cells and reduce its health and life.

A battery produces energy thanks to a chemical reaction. As with all chemistry, temperature is a key factor. Ambient temperature can have great impact on battery capacity. Generally, temperatures below 0°C or above 55°C can impact the battery’s capacity or cause it to shut down. Exposing the battery to extreme temperatures for long periods of time may permanently damage it.

Battery packs are designed for a continuous power of 19kW.

Power mode refers to the current power source for the refrigeration of the eTRU. Electric TRUs may be powered either by the battery or by the grid when plugged in.

The battery connects directly to any outlet that can support 400 volts – 32 amps.
