Crown Equipment: High-Frequency Modular Battery Charger for Forklift Batteries

Crown’s V-Force high-frequency modular battery charger provides 15% more efficiency than ferro and silicon controlled rectifier chargers, while fully charging electric forklift batteries in 8 hours or less. The charger achieves 93% efficiency over the entire charge cycle.

Enclosed in a small, compact housing, it contains three interchangeable power modules and weighs 46 pounds, allowing it to be mounted on a wall or rack.

To lower energy costs by reducing amp-draw rate, the device uses a constant current (constant voltage) charge profile to reduce the amount of battery-damaging heat generated during charging. Charge termination is determined by the change in voltage over time, preventing over- and under-charging for maximum efficiency. The unit can be programmed for use with 24-, 36- and 48-volt batteries and can be easily changed or expanded to accommodate charging demands.
