AccelRate® "High-Speed"
Smart Charger |
Conventional Fast Chargers |
| Achieves 100% state-of-charge in 2 hours. |
Only cycles the battery between 40% to 80%. |
| Returns battery to full specific gravity on every full
charge. |
The battery must be returned to a full state of charge daily by conventional
“slow” charging. |
| Provides continuous ionic mixing to eliminate stratification
of the electrolyte. |
The battery must be overcharged by 15% (boiled) daily to fully mix the
electrolyte. |
| Requires no battery modifications other than appropriate
cable sizing. |
Most manufacturers require substantial battery modifications. (extra cooling,
fans, etc...) |
| Provides real-time temperature control to maximize battery
life and throughput. |
No logic in temperature control resulting in regular battery overheating and
damage. |
| High frequency full IGBT design provides 97% energy
efficiency. |
Partial IGBT, SCR or ferro-resonant systems only provide 70-80% efficiency. |
| Battery voltage and capacity recognition allows for total
versatility. One charger can do it all. |
Chargers must be sized and voltage compatible to each individual battery type. |
| Depth of discharge recognition allows for accurate charge
cycle every time. |
Not available on conventional fast chargers. |
| Compact and lightweight design. |
Large, heavy and bulky design. |
| Web enabled to allow remote data logging, monitoring and
remote upgrades. |
Not available on conventional fast chargers. |
| Can recharge
lead-acid, glass mat (AGM) or gel type batteries. |
Different chargers must be used for
alternate chemistries. |
