Faster top-ups for small users
June 1st 2008 Having experts maintain a
battery/charger, or fleet of
batteries and chargers will
ensure that they are not
only working as efficiently
as possible, but that they are
as safe as possible,
according to Derek
Anderson, managing
director of Powercell.
He comments that small
users can sometimes be
overlooked when it comes
to safety and maintenance
issues. Powercell has a new
low cost system designed
for small users looking for
faster battery topping up
while avoiding problems of
spillage and over-topping.
The Flexi-Topper is a
watering system that can
attach directly to a battery
filling system via a quickrelease
coupling. This allows
the battery to be topped up
to the correct level
automatically, avoiding the
risk of either over-topping or
spillage.
By using the battery filling
system, a user can reduce
corrosion and increase
battery life by ensuring
precise electrolyte levels.
Each cell indicates when it is
full and shuts off with a
white float indicating that
the process has finished.
Suitable for operations
using one to five batteries,
the unit provides a further
health and safety benefit of
eliminating the risk of an
operative coming into
contact with the electrolyte. More articles from Powercell Industrial Battery Engineers Ltd: |
