STOP IT! BENDIX LAUNCHES NEW RANGE OF HEAVY DUTY DISC BRAKE PADS
Get Some Led In Your Indicators Get A Life Po Says Projecta
Leading Australian brake manufacturer Bendix has released its latest development in high performance brake pads providing solutions engineered for heavy duty applications on commercial vehicles.
They’re designed and engineered to combat the extreme pressures heavy duty vehicles, such as concrete agitators, refuse compactors, big rigs and city route buses, are exposed to on a daily basis and Bendix says they’re specially engineered to meet Australia’s demanding conditions.
The range meets ECE-R90 regulations and are FE rated which calls for brake pads to be tested for braking capabilities, speed sensitivity, cold performance and may only deviate from the frictional characteristics of their original equipment counterparts by no more that 15 per cent. Bendix says the new range covers the most popular heavy commercial vehicle applications and is now available from leading Bendix stockists.
PROJECTA HAS LAUNCHED A NEW 12V LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE (LIFEPO₄) BATTERY RANGE, WHICH IT SAYS PROVIDE POWERFUL, YET SAFE AND RELIABLE PERFORMANCE FOR A RANGE OF APPLICATIONS INCLUDING 4X4, RV, TRADE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES.
The range’s LiFePO₄ chemistry is claimed to be the safest lithium technology available, and is inherently safer than lithium cobalt competitors.
They feature a built in Battery Management System (BMS), to protect from under/overvoltage and over/ underheating and monitors individual cell voltages.
Projecta says they are capable of delivering over 2000 cycles, up to eight times more than lead acid batteries, and also offer superior charging and discharging rates.
There are two models, the LB100 with true 100 Amp discharge current, capable of powering 1000W inverters as well as a fridge and is equivalent to a 160Ah lead acid battery and is covered by a two year warranty, as well as the high discharge LB100-BT, which delivers an impressive 150 Amp discharge current, ideal battery for four-wheel drive and caravan owners, and is capable of powering 2000W inverters.
The LB100-BT status can also be monitored via smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth and comes with a three year warranty
Projecta’s new lithium batteries are available from leading automotive, camping, caravanning and four-wheel driving outlets nationwide.
