Trucker’s invention * USA - Now a Mack option

The system uses absorbed glass mat batteries to provide stored electrical power for heating, air conditioning and amenities such as television... The five sealed long-life AGM batteries are housed under the sleeper’s bunk... The batteries can be recharged by the truck’s alternator when the engine is running, by a shore power connection when the vehicle is stopped, or through a connection to the reefer unit for tractors hauling refrigerated trailers...
