Chargeguard introduces new model to expands features of original vehicle power management system

LEDCO-CHARGEGUARD, formerly CHARGEGUARD, Inc., today announced the introduction of its new CHARGEGUARD Select model, which expands upon the company's original automatic shutdown timer for mobile electronics by adding more user-friendly settings and diagnostic features. 
         
The new CHARGEGUARD Select model continues to offer the standard features of the original CHARGEGUARD while adding new features, including more selectable sensing modes; improved high and low voltage surge protection with a new voltage diagnostic LED to indicate voltage problems; protected terminals; easier setting of timeout delay switches; and MIL-STD 810F compliance.    
          
“With the increasing cost of the radios, electronic and computer equipment found in today’s emergency vehicles, it’s vital to have an easy-to-use power management system like CHARGEGUARD that protects this valuable equipment, prevents dead vehicle batteries, and enables emergency workers to focus on their job,” said Mike Zani, president of LEDCO-CHARGEGUARD. “At an $89 list price, it's a low cost insurance policy.”  
        
In addition to being the standard vehicle power management system for emergency vehicles, the new CHARGEGUARD Select is also applicable for use in any vehicle that is reliant on radios, mobile electronics, computers and GPS navigation systems, such as boats, trucks, farm equipment, construction equipment, and military vehicles.
