CROWN BATTERY POWERHOUSE CHARGERS

PowerHouse Ferro 100 Charger
PowerHouse Chargers
Excellent Charger Efficiency
The terroresonant, Scott-T design of the PowerHouse Ferro 100 charger will significantly reduce electricity costs associated with lift truck charging.  Both single and three phase chargers are over 83% efficient and have a power factor greater that 0.95.  The inherently stable terroresonant design maintains DC output within 1%, even with up to 10% AC power fluctuations.  The Ferro 100 Charger is able to fully recharge a 100% discharged battery to a full state of charge in 8 hours, while the failsafe terroresonant design protects your batteries from overcharging. 

Low Maintenance
Maintenance costs are virtually zero for PowerHouse Ferro 100 chargers.  The only routine maintenance required is an occasional cleaning with low-pressure air to remove dust and dirt accumulation.  All of the components are easily accessible from the front of the charger and the chargers all have a low center of gravity for safe handling and stacking.  The Ferro 100 chargers are all convection cooled, so no fans are required even when they are stacked.  All PowerHouse chargers feature a durable and attractive baked-on epoxy finish and can be safely stacked three high.

Charger Controls Extend Battery Life
The PowerHouse microprocessor based dl Plus and dl Super Controllers automatically deliver the precisely timed charges that lead-acid batteries need to operate at peak performance.  Built-in safety features virtually eliminate operator errors.  Manual or automatic equalize charge patterns minimize grid corrosion, eliminate sulfating and prolong battery life.  All PowerHouse Ferro 100 chargers come with these standard features:

  • Automatic start eliminates operator errors
  • Flush mounted and sealed controls cannot be fouled by dirt or moisture
  • 12-hour override timer protects the battery
  • Checks for correct battery voltage before charging battery
  • Charging automatically resumes after an AC power interruption

PRODUCT FEATURES AND BENEFITS INCLUDE:

 

  • Adjustable start delay from 5 seconds to 7 hours 45 minutes in 15 minute increments
  • Monitors voltage and currant changes to determine the ideal length of charge time
  • Large, bright digital display
  • Battery refresh cycles keep cells at maximum charge
  • Detects hot batteries and shuts down
  • Pre-wired for the optional automatic watering control
  • Manual or automatic equalize, can be set from every 7th cycle

ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF THE dI SUPER CONTROLLER:

 

  • Programmable start delay by minute or time of day
  • Manually or automatically equalizes by cycle or day of week
  • Self-diagnostic
  • High visibility two-line alphanumeric display
  • No optional external programming device required
  • Charge parameters are easily set from the plain English menu
  • Automatically adjusts for daylight savings time
  • Capable of two-way communication with the optional Crown Battery Manager networked battery room management system

OPTIONAL ITEMS FOR ALL FERRO 100 CHARGERS:

 

  • Remote control via remote mounting of the charger control boards
  • Battery watering module- a solenoid valve automatically waters the battery at the optimal point during the charge cycle
  • Wall mounting brackets
  • JIC-approved flange-mounted disconnect switch with push-to-test light prevents cabinet opening with power on
  • Special leads available for individual charging and explosion proof batteries (EX) s

 

PowerHouse IHF Traction Charger

PowerHouse ChargersThe PowerHouse IHF traction charger from Crown battery is suitable for flooded and maintenance free battery.  With a power factor close to 99% and an efficiency of about 92% the PowerHouse IHF charger combine microprocessor control with well established High Frequency IFBT technology to provide you with the highest quality Traction Chargers on the market today.  These units are UL listed and capable of providing a ripple free charging current that improves the energy transfer from the charger to the battery.  This prevents battery overheating during charging thus ensuring a longer battery life.  They can be provided for nominal charging voltages from 24 VDC to 80 VDC.  Equipped with a colored display showing the battery charging status, the PowerHouse IHFcharger provides easy to use features and state of the art operational capabilities. 

KEY FEATURES:

 

  • Microprocessor Controls, 14 pre programmed charging curves including a USB communication port using windowsTM based service software for easy operation maintenance and statistics
  • The service software statistics data in separate hard drive such as charges cycles, forced switch over, excess charging, i/u errors and low level electrolyte
  • Reduced volume and weight by a factor of 5
  • Optional Pilot contact controlled switch off
  • Provided with and optional BATCOM radio communication transmitter when installed on the battery, provides remote signals to the corresponding charger such as over-temperature, low electrolyte and battery capacity
  • Designed for 15 years or 30,000 operating hours
  • Blue led indicator on front panel for low electrolyte level alarm
  • Large colored charge status light
  • Relay control for electrolyte circulation/automatic water topping
