Overview

As with HGVs, Coaches are often on the road for days at a time and must power many items of on board equipment such as on board toilets, air conditioning and communication devices. Buses, or PSVs, require a power source suited to shorter Start/Stop, multi pick up journeys.

For both applications, the battery needs to be able to withstand extreme discharge and recharge regimes, meaning; Reliability, Starting Power, Durability and Premium Performance are required. APUs (Auxiliary Power Units) & HVAC (Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning) systems that place strain on the batteries are as follows:
