Idle Right
Havis’ new IdleRight2 minimizes idle time by monitoring the battery’s voltage while the vehicle is turned off and electronics, such as light bars, radios and computers, are still on. When the battery voltage drops to a pre-set level, the system triggers the remote starter to run the engine long enough for the battery to recharge, then turns the vehicle off again. This process significantly reduces the vehicle’s idle time, which is key to saving fuel, preventing unnecessary engine wear and decreasing harmful emissions. The product features an LED diagnostics system that allows users to quantify their savings by outputting the number of idle hours saved. This data can then be plugged into the Return on Investment Calculator to determine total savings in fuel, money, miles and maintenance. Havis
