AccelRate Announces Initial Order from Carney

AccelRate Power Systems, a manufacturer of “high-speed” battery chargers, has received an initial stocking order from Carney Battery Handling Ltd. for AccelRate™ Smart Chargers, which can fully recharge any 24, 36 or 48V forklift, walkies or aerial lift batteries in two hours, with no negative impact to battery lifetime.

“Using AccelRate’s unique, high-speed Smart Chargers, a typical Canadian 30-unit forklift operation could save up to one million dollars annually,” said Pierre Gadbois, vice president for motive power at AccelRate.

All AccelRate motive power battery chargers incorporate advanced high frequency IGBT technology to provide significant energy cost reductions for material handling equipment users.

AccelRate’s SC series of chargers will fully recharge a battery five times faster than conventional chargers, without requiring any modifications to the battery. Due to its compact size and light weight, the AccelRate SC will do the work of several regular chargers in a fraction of the total space. The Smart Chargers can be mounted anywhere around an industrial plant for easy access whenever a full charge or a top-up is needed.
