PowerRush, a new line of high-performance 12-volt batteries engineered for transport refrigeration units, are available through the North American dealer network of Carrier Transicold, a business unit of United Technologies Corp.

Offered by Carrier Transicold in partnership with Interstate Battery System of America, PowerRush batteries feature an 18-month free-replacement warranty backed by Carrier Transicold dealers coast-to-coast.

These batteries come in three capacities of cold-cranking amps (CCA): the 950 and 750 CCA Heavy-Duty PowerRush batteries and the 700 CCA High-Cycle PowerRush battery with specially engineered plate stabilizers for extra cycle life.

All PowerRush batteries feature durability and vibration protection to handle the frequent start-stop cycles and harsh temperature demands of refrigerated unit applications. Vibration protection includes epoxy-bonded plates to prevent movement, and the ribbed housings are made of rugged polypropylene along with bottom stone-guard protection. A computer-optimized end-wall design protects the plates inside.
