Thermo King’s External Battery Charging Kit provides an out-of- the-box solution by tapping a reefer’s power supply without risk of draining its battery, the company said. By allowing the reefer alternator to recharge the lift gate or other accessory batteries, the kit prevents the external system from drawing directly from the reefer battery, and the reefer unit is completely isolated during lift gate operation.
Isolating the reefer battery from the external current draw ensures continuous starting power, according to the company. The reefer unit battery is not affected, and the kit will help keep the lift gate or other accessories working all day.
