Remy’s New Technical White Paper on the Connection Between Alternator Efficiency and Fuel Savings
Improving fuel savings is one of the most important goals of any fleet on the road today. Inspired by this fact, Remy Inc. recently published a new white paper entitled, “Improving Alternator Efficiency Measurably Reduces Fuel Costs,” in order to share its expertise and benefit the entire industry.
The Remy Inc. 32-page white paper provides an in-depth explanation of how an alternator works, examines where and how power losses can occur within the alternator and quantifies how efficiency plays a role in fuel consumption. Actual vehicle test data is provided to support the cost savings that can be experienced when upgrading to a higher efficiency alternator.
Battery Charging and Diagnostics
Here are six tips to use when diagnosing a vehicle with a dead battery.
Diagnostic Strategies For Stop/Start Systems
This function of the power management system uses several modules to decide when the engine needs to stop and start.
Why A 12-volt Battery is Still Essential in EVs
A device similar to an alternator, called a DC-DC converter, charges the 12-volt battery from the high-voltage battery pack.
Smart Battery Management
Most modern systems will measure the internal resistance.
Batteries For Stop/Start Systems
On all stop/start vehicles, the life and performance of the battery are measured by the vehicle in several ways.
Diagnostic Procedures For Stop/Start Systems
Stop/start technology is more than just a switch wired to the brake pedal and starter.
Auto Care Association Expands Demand Index Product Coverage
It announced the release of 25 new product lines, as well as the addition of Annual Unit Volumes for 15 Demand Index Product Groups.
Battery Charging and Programming Diagnostics
Temperature changes how the battery discharges and the amount of current that can be delivered.
Electric Power Steering
Today’s systems have been refined.
