Zusammenfassung:	An HVAC control system for a passenger compartment of an over the road vehicle comprises a controllable air conditioner for directing cooled air flow through the passenger compartment and a controllable heater for directing heated air flow through the passenger compartment. A battery selectively powers the air conditioner and the heater. A sensor senses battery energy. A control panel includes user input devices for manually selecting operating parameters of the HVAC system and a battery remaining time display. A controller is operatively connected to the air conditioner, the sensor and the user control panel, the controller determining estimated battery remaining time based on battery energy and the manually selected operating parameters, and displaying the estimated battery remaining time on the battery remaining time display.
