BUFFALO BULL AGM
COMFORT FOR LONG DISTANCES
THE POWER FOR LONG-DISTANCE HGVS WITH AGM-TECHNOLOGY
Nowadays, a long-distance HGV is more than just a means of transporting goods from A to B. It’s the trucker’s place of work as well as their home for more than 3 days a week. Banner is launching the new Buffalo Bull Absorbent Glass Mat to meet these extensive demands.
The optimum starter and on-board electrical system battery for long-distance HGVs (long-distance lorries) in the toughest sustained deployment.
Always enough power! For starting the engine and supplying the electrical system – in other words, perfect living comfort. Always and everywhere! Even while using the largest power consumers, such as air conditioning, auxiliary heating, refrigerator, lighting and entertainment.
+ Full starting power and MEGA comfort are guaranteed by the new Buffalo Bull Absorbent Glass Mat starter and on-board electrical system battery for every long-distance HGV and therefore for every trucker.
+ More than enough power for starting the engine and on-board power supply. Enough starting power in the morning without having to run the engine overnight.

|
The driver spends the night in the vehicle and uses a large number of different electrical consumers. Overnight stays: up to one week. |
|
|
Charging the battery while driving within 9 hours at low voltage (14.3 V/battery), which means that the battery must be optimally charged. |
|
|
Guaranteed extreme vibration resistance, even with integral rear installation of the battery in the HGV. |
PRODUCT BENEFITS

ENERGY-INTENSIVE ELECTRICAL CONSUMERS
THE BIGGEST ELECTRICITY CONSUMERS IN THE LONG-DISTANCE HGV
 |
Fridge |
The fridge consumes about 1-3 Ah (depending on the outside temperature). If it remains switched on over the weekend, a fully charged battery can be discharged by more than 50%. If the battery is not fully charged, deep discharge may occur.
 |
Air conditioning |
The air conditioning in the HGV consumes approx. 10-30 Ah and switches off when the battery state of charge reaches 45%. At an outside temperature of +30 °C and a cab temperature of +26 °C, the air conditioning can be used for 8-10 hours. At a cab temperature of +20 °C, this time is reduced to approx. 4-5 hours. So, always choose an inside temperature that is similar to the outside temperature.
 |
Lighting and entertainment |
Lighting and entertainment are other large electricity consumers. The interior lighting consumes about 5 Ah. If the TV and an audio system or laptop are used, another 4-5 Ah are consumed.
 |
Auxiliary heating |
With an energy requirement of approx. 4-10 Ah, the auxiliary heating is often the biggest consumer of electricity in winter. As this is used at low temperatures, the battery power is significantly reduced. At an outside temperature of -18 °C, for example, the battery capacity is reduced to only about 50%.
Long-distance transport – HGVs are the driver's home and workplace and are more comfortable than some hotel rooms.
