Full power package June 1st 2007 David Callis, operations
manager at Powercell
Industrial Battery Engineers,
advises lift truck users to
seek out suppliers who can
offer not just a battery, but a
full package that includes
cost effective chargers,
watering systems and
preventive maintenance.
A high frequency charger
provides the most cost
effective charging. Add to
this a single point filling
system – which avoids tank
corrosion and overspill,
topping up each battery to
the correct level every time.
The use of the battery can
also be optimised thanks to
the facility to generate
reports over the last one
hundred cycles to assess
how the battery has been
used. This allows the
supplier to advise the user
on how to get the best from
batteries, improving the
efficiency and extending
battery life. More articles from Powercell Industrial Battery Engineers Ltd: |
