Zero maintenance batteries
September 1st 2007

Co-operative Retail Logistics has specified EnerSys Hawker Motive Power brand of batteries and chargers for the lift truck fleet at its Coventry national distribution centre. Hawker's Evolution high performance sealed-gel batteries are maintenance-free and combined with 'intelligent' high frequency chargers linked to an ITdriven battery management system. The company says this enables Co-op Retail Logistics to extract more than 20% more work out of the truck batteries each day than would have been possible with a conventional battery system.

Hawker's Powertech HF chargers automatically detect the battery's level of discharge and will supply only the amount of power needed to restore full charge. This means less mains power is required to charge a battery. Enersys says that with the Evolution battery, savings can be as much as 30%.
