Driver monitors his truck’s power system using the Battle Born mobile app.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 14, 2024 – Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: DFLI) (“Dragonfly Energy” or the “Company”), an industry leader in energy storage and maker of Battle Born Batteries®, unveiled at the American Trucking Associations’ annual Management Conference & Exhibition its Dragonfly IntelLigence™ technology for the heavy duty trucking industry. This patent-pending smart battery technology gives fleets and truck drivers real-time system monitoring and app-based connectivity, providing full visibility over their battery system. Building upon the proven reliability of Battle Born Batteries, Dragonfly IntelLigence represents the next generation of the Company’s energy storage solutions, designed to optimize performance and efficiency in demanding commercial applications.
Dragonfly IntelLigence communication technology empowers drivers with real-time insights into their entire battery system, providing visibility at both the individual battery level and the system as a whole. By combining a wireless mesh network with Bluetooth connectivity, drivers can use the Battle Born mobile app to monitor battery life, set custom alerts, and access historical usage data. This comprehensive connectivity, unique to Dragonfly Energy’s system, provides a significant advantage over competitor Bluetooth solutions, and will provide drivers with peace of mind and enhanced control over their power source. Additionally, through the Dragonfly IntelLigence Hub, OEMs can transmit battery data via external communication protocols, such as RV-C (Recreation Vehicle-CAN), allowing for seamless integration with in-cab displays and fleet management systems.
This new, advanced smart lithium solution provides a powerful addition to the Company’s award-winning Battle Born® All-Electric Auxiliary Power Unit (“APU”), delivering enhanced capabilities beyond what was previously available. The advanced monitoring capability of Dragonfly IntelLigence, gives drivers the visibility to now have complete confidence in the company’s lithium powered system’s ability to maintain power during rest periods, eliminating the need for idling or auto start/stop.
“The integration of our patented Dragonfly IntelLigence technology marks a significant advancement for our APU solution,” said Wade Seaburg, chief revenue officer of Dragonfly Energy. “This upgrade gives drivers comprehensive visibility over their battery system so they can rest easy knowing the battery won’t drain nor the truck restart while they are trying to sleep. By prioritizing driver experience and efficiency, we’re helping fleets reduce costs and improve sustainability.”
The Battle Born All-Electric APU, equipped with Dragonfly IntelLigence as an optional upgrade, is available now to fleets and OEMs, with public availability to owner/operators expected by the end of the calendar year 2024.
