AccelRate’s World-Leading Technology
Why Are Charger Improvements Needed?Why Are Charger Improvements Needed?
• Conventional chargers are time-consuming, costly due to need for
battery handling rooms, and require constant supervision.
• Fast chargers impact battery capacity, performance and lifetimes
due
to damage from over-heating and under-charging.
• Battery is under-utilized as primary charge is in the 20-70%
range, reducing the amount of Ah available for use.
• Fast-chargers require special batteries to lower resistance and enable
better heat transfer.
• Safety risks increase as fast chargers drive battery temperature to
unsafe levels without monitoring equipment.
AccelRate™ Charging Process is Superior
Higher Charging Current Applied
Discharge at Precise Intervals
AccelRate uses a “reverse current” or “negative charge”, not a “pulse” charge!
Nickel cadmium (NiCd) : from 3 hours to 15 minutes Nickel metal hydride (NiMh) : from 2 hours to 20 minutes
Lithium ion : from 5 hours to 1 hour
Time Saved Using AccelRate Technology
And no cool down period required..!
Lead-acid Battery Charge
from 10 hours to 2 hours!
