Efficient, rechargeable and economical battery systems are needed in a wide variety of industries.
Versatile charging solutions can range from generator sets to transceiver base stations, from onboard chargers for electric vehicles to water pumps. Proper recharging and maintenance of these batteries requires an intelligent charging system that can vary the charging voltage based on the state of charge and use of the battery. And while these battery chargers can differ in terms of design and the battery chemistry they are suited to, with proper selection and use, a battery charger can restore even a flat industrial battery to a fully charged state.
