One-size-fits-all HF battery charger

The suitcase-sized, multi-function, three phase charger can be used for charging a range of batteries from a single unit. It’s up to 94% efficient and comes complete with a three-year warranty from Northampton-based UK charger specialist, Curtis Instruments.

TEMPOs will charge a range of input voltages and ampere hour ratings from 36 to 48V and 72V to 80V, 10 to 130A in just two models.  This makes it suitable for dealers as it offers true flexibility; easy programming from a single button on the front of the charger takes a matter of seconds and it means you stock just two chargers rather than a whole range.

A special integrated desulphation mode helps keep batteries in top condition and ensures charging, even when the battery is deeply discharged. Resonant technology and a smart fan design, providing clean filtered airflow, keep the transformer 20% cooler than other HF chargers, according to Curtis, and making it stable and reliable with an increased lifespan over its contemporaries.

A special colour changing Curtis logo gives a charge status, visible from a distance across the charge bay or workshop.

The TEMPO is suitable for use in all material handling or general industrial battery powered vehicle applications and boasts a range of other features not mentioned here that should make it worth investigating further.  

Northampton-based Curtis UK supplies electric vehicle drive systems, and a full range of audible and visual safety equipment suitable for use on forklifts, pallet trucks, electric vehicles, construction equipment and on-road vehicles.
