Ensure your vehicle starts first time, every time
Battery Guard provides the OEM & Fleet operator with a level of assurance never before possible, a guarantee that their vehicles will start first time - every time! Making a flat battery a thing of the past.
Battery Guard constantly monitors the available battery voltage when the engine is not running, if the battery voltage falls below 24.1v (or 12.1v), a voltage-sensitive timer in the Battery Guard ECU is triggered. If the available battery voltage remains below 24.1v uniformly for a full 4 minutes, the ECU will pulse the latching relay and the batteries will be isolated to guarantee starting power. At this stage there will be no power for ignition, the vehicle operator must press the flashing reset switch and start the engine.
Battery Guard also offers vehicle operators the ability to manually isolate the batteries via the Battery Guard reset switch, simply press & hold the switch for 2 seconds and the batteries will be isolated.
