Battery manufacturer of the IONIC brand of lithium batteries LithiumHub has announced its latest IC-12V100-S4S lithium starter battery. The product is specifically designed for heavy-duty diesel equipment, including semi-trucks, dump trucks, and yellow iron machinery, and it promises to redefine the standards of power and reliability in the industry.
With an impressive 3,000A cranking amps, the IC-12V100-S4S is the most dominant diesel starting battery available on the market for a Group 31 size. This is a significant advancement when compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, which typically offer only 1,200A cranking amps.
Unmatched Features and Technological Advancements
The IC-12V100-S4S not only outperforms in strength but also offers a host of advanced features that set it apart from the competition:
- Emergency Start/Reserve Function: Reserves 25% of the battery’s power for emergencies, allowing operators to jumpstart equipment even when the battery is depleted. This can be activated via the “IonicRedBattery” App or by long-pressing a button on the battery.
- Built-In Heater System: Ensures reliable charging and operation in cold conditions, making it ideal for heavy-duty diesel equipment in harsh environments.
- Bluetooth Monitoring: Allows users to track battery health and status via their smartphone, providing valuable insights for fleet managers and operators to ensure equipment readiness.
- Significant Weight Reduction: Weighs only 30.8 lbs. (14 kg), approximately 50% lighter than traditional lead-acid batteries, improving fuel efficiency and simplifying installation.
- Longer Lifespan: Unlike lead-acid batteries that often require replacement every 16 months, the IC-12V100-S4S Lithium Starter Battery comes with a 5-year warranty and is expected to last up to 10 years, offering a significantly longer lifespan for fleet operators.
A Commitment to Safety, Longevity, and Cost Efficiency
LithiumHub’s dedication to safety and reliability is evident in the design of the IC-12V100-S4S. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, which are prone to frequent maintenance and shorter lifespans, this lithium battery offers a lifespan that is four times longer. Additionally, it charges up to five times faster, ensuring that equipment downtime is minimized and productivity is maximized. This long-term cost efficiency, combined with reduced service calls and maintenance, makes the IC-12V100-S4S an indispensable asset for operators of heavy-duty equipment.
“This is certainly a game changer for the industry, especially for large diesel engines using lithium starter batteries. The cranking amps are in unheard of territory, and features such as turning the battery on or off with a simple long press directly on the battery or through your phone app bring a new level of convenience and reliability to the table.”
