How many hours does the system run?
Our standard 400Ah system can run between 8 to 20 hours depends on the setting of the a/c unit and draws from other systems.
Can I use the auto-start feature from truck after install the Polar Fox electric APU?
For newer trucks that has the factory auto-start feature, Polar Fox electric APU system will be seamlessly integrated into trucks equipped with auto-start functionality.This integration enables automatic engine startup for battery charging purposes.
Will Polar Fox eAPU installation connect to truck air ducts?
For the price listed above, we do not connect to truck air ducts. However, if customer requests, we will gladly connect to truck factory air duct. It only cost $300 for the additional labor and material. If you want to know how it looks without connecting to the factory air ducts, you can watch our showcase video on our website.
How long does it take to install the whole system?
1 day for cooling only, 2 days for cooling, heating and inverter.
What is the installed weight of the Polar Fox eAPU system?
Total installed weight: 188 lbs.
a/c unit: 36 lbs, battery: 132 lbs, heating: 10 lbs, inverter: 10 lbs.
Total weight removed from the truck (while replacing the lead-acid starting batteries): 232 lbs.
Gross weight after installing our system: -44 lbs
Why does Polar Fox eAPU system use lithium batteries, not AGM batteries?
AGM batteries are widely used by other electric APU installers. However, they are nearly 3 times heavier than lithium batteries (type 31). To run eAPU system, typically, installers use 8 AGM batteries, those are about 600 lbs added to the truck. And AGM batteries require upgraded alternator to be able to charge them full during a 8 hours driving period. However, in other hand, lithium batteries are much, lighterbetter technology, faster charging, no need to upgrade truck alternator. All in all, lithium batteries are better suited for eAPU system.
