42 Volt Technology
•Today
vehicles
come with a large number of accessories like the infotainment systems, climate
controls, passenger comfort features like the heated seats etc. and many safety
systems.
•Also,
there are a large number of electronic
sensors and
actuators in these automobiles. And technological advancements in conversion of
hydraulic/mechanical systems to electronic systems are making electrical system
in vehicles more and more complex.
•All
this is increasing the load on the 12V car battery, which one day will
eventually be unable to cope with the power demand of the increasing number of
electrical and electronic systems in the vehicle.
•Even
today some high end vehicle manufacturer are facing this problem of electric
energy. A possible solution to this is the 42 Volt
battery technology.
The 12V batteries which are used in today's car are charged by a 14V supply.
So, 42V is actually three times 14V, i.e the voltage of the battery will be 36V,
it will be charged by 42V supply.
•The
42-volt technology will reduce weight, improve fuel economy, permit the
replacement of many mechanical parts with electrical ones, power all sorts of
new gizmos and most of all, it will improve efficiency for all
automotive electrical devices.It will
also reduce the complexity of the current 12-volt electrical systems.
