Reduced energy costs
October 1st 2005

Independent frozen food wholesaler, Yearsley Group, is switching the batteries on its entire lift truck fleet to the Hawker brand from EnerSys. The company says it is making this move because the combination of Hawker’s PerfectPlus battery and Powertech high frequency charger provides better performance, longer battery life and, with the Hawker Aquafil single point topping up system, easier maintenance. Lower mains electricity consumption is also reported.

The Powertech charger automatically detects the battery’s level of discharge and supplies only the amount needed to restore full charge. This means less power is required to charge the battery, significantly reducing energy costs.

Highly versatile, the charger will automatically accommodate batteries of different capacities.
