Deep discharge is one of the most expensive problems in internal transport
How often did this happen to you last year? Pallet trucks, aerial work platforms, and other internal transport are often driven well below the safe limit in practice. The result: unexpected downtime and permanent battery damage — often seen as an "isolated incident," while it is usually creeping, cumulative damage.
What happens in your warehouse without StartProtect
- Trucks are driven until the "last bar".
- Trucks are sometimes left on; phantom drain empties the battery outside working hours.
- Batteries regularly drop below the recommended 20–30% remaining capacity.
- Trucks fail in the middle of a busy period or in an awkward spot.
- Batteries need to be replaced sooner than planned.
- Maintenance and repair costs increase year after year.
Every deep discharge increases the chance of malfunctions and shortens the lifespan of your battery.
The cost of doing nothing
Rule of thumb: one battery is often 5–10× more expensive than prevention.
How StartProtect Works
You don't need to connect anything, configure anything, or monitor anything. StartProtect is placed between the battery and the vehicle, monitors the voltage, warns in time, and automatically switches off before deep discharge occurs.
1. Continuous monitoring
StartProtect continuously measures the battery voltage during use. The thresholds are tailored to 24V internal transport batteries.
2. Clear warning
As soon as the battery voltage drops below the set threshold, a clearly audible and visible signal follows. Immediately clear: this truck needs to go to the charger.
3. Safe shutdown
If the warning is ignored and the voltage drops further, StartProtect switches off in a controlled manner. The battery remains protected.
- No intervention in CAN bus/software or control system
- No "setup project" or new procedures
- No extra monitoring or administrative burden
