What is the Law Enforcement Series?

Energy Xtreme’s idle reduction technology, the Law Enforcement Series, utilizes a unique power management system to operate a car’s full auxiliary electrical system without engaging the engine. The Law Enforcement Series eliminates the number of dead batteries caused by the constant power draw of auxiliary electrical systems, recharges while the vehicle is driving and can also provide engine ignition power in case of a dead engine battery. Law enforcement departments are using the Law Enforcement Series to save money on wasted gasoline, to slow wear and tear on vehicle engines and to reduce emissions.

How does the Law Enforcement Series work?

The Law Enforcement Series provides electricity to the vehicle’s on-board auxiliary electrical system when the gasoline engine is turned off, providing power to mission critical tools, such as lights, radio, laptop and camera.

Is the Law Enforcement Series just a battery?

No. The Law Enforcement Series is a solid state, redundant power management system.

How is the Law Enforcement Series installed?

The system installs into the trunk of the vehicle and fits in most police cruisers, including the Chevy Impala, Dodge Charger, Ford Crown Victoria and Chevy Tahoe. The Law Enforcement Series is connected to the alternator via one wire and includes and in-dash LCD display screen so that power may be managed from the driver’s seat.

Does the Law Enforcement Series turn a car into a hybrid?

The car is not turned into a hybrid in a propulsion sense as the system does not power the movement of the car. The Law Enforcement Series does, however, enable comparable or even greater savings by allowing the engine to be turned off while still running the full auxiliary electrical load of the vehicle.

How much money does the Law Enforcement Series save customers?

The money that can be saved varies from department to department and with fluctuating gasoline prices. However, the Law Enforcement Series can pay for itself in less than two years based on data collected from clients’ real-world experiences. For example, the Dallas Police Department uses the Law Enforcement Series for an average of 4.85 hours per day. Assuming 300 work days per year, a gas price of $3.26 per gallon and .75 gallons of gas burned per hour while the vehicle idles, the department goes financially positive in less than two years.

What do I do when my auxiliary loads which are powered by the Independence Package® shutoff? i.e.; Light bar, radio, laptop.

You need to start the vehicle, once the vehicle is started your auxiliary loads will return to normal operation. Now you need to allow the unit to charge for a minimum of 40-90 minutes depending on vehicle type, before shutting off the vehicle so the Independence Package® has ample time to recharge.
