Odyne's system utilizes a high-voltage, maintenance-free 14.2 kWh or 28.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack designed for rugged work trucks. It is sized and located to suit the hybrid truck application.

The system's battery management strategy maintains the battery and optimizes the recharging rates for:

• Extended battery life throughout the plug-in hybrid truck lifecycle
• Reduced maintenance cost
• Minimal battery charging cost – charging the batteries during off-peak hours
  with 25 kWh per night at $0.10 per kWh = $2.50 per work day

Each plug-in hybrid truck battery pack weighs approximately 400 pounds (181 kg) and contributes to a lower total hybrid truck system weight when compared to other hybrid truck systems using less advanced battery technology. Each pack is mounted in a location to suit the hybrid truck application and doesn't compromise ground clearance.  

Johnson Controls provides the lithium-ion batteries incorporated into Odyne Systems products.
