Battery management

Published:  28 January, 2014

The new Hawker BSI40 battery status indicator is the latest battery rotation system from ENERSYS. It is reported to provide users with a cost-effective solution to manage battery fleets for warehouse trucks and other mechanical handling equipment.

The system is said to enable life-long service reliability, efficiency and sustainability. It has been designed for use with the Hawker Lifetech HF range of high frequency chargers and can also be integrated with existing chargers by the addition of optional sensors.

Using the indicator with the Hawker Lifetech HF range can add a further dimension to fleet operations. The Lifetech range offers efficiency levels of over 90 %. These efficiencies can produce reductions in energy consumption of more than 15 % compared with conventional 50Hz charger technology which means a lower carbon footprint and financial savings.
