New battery power indicator released

Updated Mar 22, 2011

Phillips Industries has introduced the new Battery Status Indicator, designed to show the power available in any truck battery with one quick look. The Battery Status Indicator monitors the state of power for any battery, particularly lift-gate batteries, and alerts operators during pre-trip inspections when a battery may be lower than required.

According to Phillips, when battery voltage is more than 12.4 volts or 75 percent power, the Battery Status Indicator flashes a green light. When the voltage falls to 12.39 volts or below, the light will blink red to indicate the battery needs to be charged or changed.

The Battery Status Indicator part number is 60-9000, and is available through all Phillips authorized distributors.
