Best Electric APU for Semi Trucks - 24V System (10,000 BTU and 300CFM)

[@jasonrobinson8765]

I’m definitely coming your way soon to get this installed

[@clintonkirker5154]

If you rest during the day anywhere in the south, I’d highly recommend 600 amp hour. I have 800 amp hour at 12v and can go a full 34 with 550 watts of solar.

I would suggest a 600ah system for our 24v system. It uses more electricity to power the higher BTU unit

Hey Ryan. Quick question. Can OTR performance diagnostic install/ calibrate a new VGT Actuator ? Thank you sir.

[@SuperMobly]

Hi Ryan what type of battery would you recommend to be put under the Sleeper? Thanks

[@truckingandfixing]

We highly recommend our starter lithium batteries. 5 year warranty, smart duo purpose batteries, not only start your engine, but also provide 400ah for APU needs. We will cover more topics of the batteries in the future videos.

​@@truckingandfixinghow much is the battery?

[@MrRyanrk12]

Hey Ryan are you going to look into being able to offer merlin solar

[@truckingandfixing]

We are in the process of sourcing good solar panels. Will look into Merlin solar as well! Thanks. 🙏

[@bryanwoodard284]

That’s pretty good

[@truckingandfixing]

Thanks

Hey Ryan, I have a new to me 2020 International LT with factory installed Maxxforce Eaton EPU 300 alternator, 800ah battery system that works great for me. Mid roof cab. The truck has auto start/stop feature programmed to start truck when battery voltage drops below 12.3v and runs truck for about 70 minutes which I get about 2-3 hours before it repeats. On days that I run 9 hours or more, I get about 4-5 hours before the truck starts. Obviously on cooler days, I get longer run times. My question is upgrading to the lithium and would it improve my run cycles particularly in hotter regions? I’m working to get ThermoKing solar panels installed hopefully in the next month or so, upgrade my batteries because the one’s under my step are not AGM’s nor deep cycle batteries. I think the previous owner didn’t want to spend the money and really didn’t know how to get the best operation out of this system. I’m not sure how changing the batteries over from AGM to lithium would affect my system because the manual says that all 8 batteries should be AGM’s. What’s your opinion for those of us who have factory installed EPU’s?

[@truckingandfixing]

Great question. Are you able to give us a call to discuss in details about your EPU setup? So we can give you some advises.

[@tuandriverga]

I want to run by generator?

[@2hotscottpro]

$8k-15k Man truckers getting ripped off ! Ten year warranty on Li bats is normal.

[@jhonnygarcia7396]

Still over priced, no difference than a 10k apu

[@waltmartin92]

how can a Dometic RV roof top ac (google prices of them). Dometic RTX 2000 Air Conditioner - 2000W, 12V - 9600028490 $2,399.99 and these guys want $8000- check that site out Dometic.... they even talk in the video about it how to set battery V drawdown for OTR trucks.

He is marking up parts by 300-400% plus his outrageous labor rate…this is KZbin certified eAPU pricing 😂 You can get this exact same unit directly from the manufacturer for around 1k. If you do your own installation with batteries (price will vary depending on the size of 🔋) and all the hardware you should be around $2500 or even less. do the math.

[@truckingandfixing]

Sounds like you are comparing the ac unit to our 400AH APU system. Our system comes with dual purpose lithium batteries as well! Each $950. Does it make sense?
