Battle Born Launches 24V Power Pack for Idle Reduction in Long-Haul Trucks
Dragonfly Energy unveils 24V configuration of DualFlow Power Pack — all-electric system powering sleeper A/C, heat, and electronics without idling. With diesel at $5.38/gal, every idle minute counts.
⚡ Battle Born Expands to 24V — More Power for the Sleeper
Dragonfly Energy, manufacturer of the Battle Born battery system, just launched the 24V configuration of the DualFlow Power Pack — an all-electric idle reduction solution for long-haul trucks.
The system allows drivers to power air conditioning, heating, and all sleeper electronics without idling the engine. With diesel at $5.38 per gallon, every minute of idle counts.
🔋 What is the DualFlow Power Pack?
The Battle Born DualFlow Power Pack is a LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery system that:
- ✅ Powers the entire sleeper — A/C, heat, microwave, TV, laptop, chargers
- ✅ Recharges automatically — while the engine runs, the alternator recharges the batteries
- ✅ Compact under-bunk design — flexible mounting options
- ✅ Protects starter batteries — prevents deep discharge of the starting bank
- ✅ Supports 12V and 24V — compatible with more truck platforms
What's New: 24V Configuration
Traditionally, the DualFlow Power Pack was only available in 12V. The new 24V configuration enables:
- Greater compatibility with fleets operating 24V systems
- Powering larger loads without voltage converters
- Better efficiency in trucks with native 24V electrical systems
💨 Powers the Fresco 9000 Maxx (Auxiliary A/C)
Battle Born is also the battery system that powers the Fresco 9000 Maxx, a battery-powered auxiliary air conditioner designed specifically for truck sleepers.
The Fresco 9000 Maxx:
- Produces 9,000 BTU of cooling
- Runs 100% on batteries — no engine idle, no diesel APU
- Integrates seamlessly with the Battle Born DualFlow Power Pack
"The demand for more power in the sleeper is growing", said Wade Seaburg, CCO (Chief Commercial Officer) at Dragonfly Energy. "Drivers want comfort without burning diesel unnecessarily".
💰 Why Idle Reduction Matters
With diesel at $5.38/gal (national average), EVERY minute of idle counts:
- 🔥 A heavy truck at idle burns 0.8-1.2 gallons per hour
- 💵 10 hours of daily idle = $53-$64 burned in diesel (without moving)
- 📅 30 days of idle = $1,590-$1,920/month wasted
Idle reduction solutions like the Battle Born Power Pack can save over $1,000 per month in fuel costs.
🔌 Other Idle Reduction Solutions
The idle reduction market is growing fast. In addition to Battle Born, another leading option is Go Green APU, which offers:
- ✅ Full air conditioning and heating without idling the engine
- ✅ 120V and 12V outlets for all sleeper equipment
- ✅ All-electric APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) system
- ✅ Professional installation in Houston TX (713) 455-5566, Dallas TX (469) 775-9715, and Altoona PA (814) 942-9407
It's not a question of one being better than the other — they're two different approaches:
- 🔋 Battle Born / Fresco: Battery system that recharges while you drive
- ⚡ Go Green APU: Auxiliary unit with built-in generator
Both accomplish the same goal: avoid main engine idle and save diesel.
📦 Installation and Availability
The Battle Born DualFlow Power Pack 24V is available through authorized distributors. Installation is professional — requires integration with the truck's electrical system.
Installation features:
- Modular design — adapts to different sleeper sizes
- Under-bunk mounting — doesn't take up driver space
- Compatible with most Class 8 tractors
🚛 Idle Reduction: The New Normal
With diesel prices at historic highs, fleets can't afford to burn $2,000/month per truck in unnecessary idle.
Idle reduction solutions are no longer optional — they're essential for the financial survival of owner operators and small fleets.
How Much Can You Save?
Real example:
- 10 hours of daily idle = 9 gallons/day
- 9 gallons × $5.38 = $48.42/day
- $48.42 × 30 days = $1,452.60/month
An investment in Battle Born Power Pack or Go Green APU pays for itself in 6-12 months — after that, it's pure savings.
