Savings delivered to logistics firm

White goods home delivery company, Expert Logistics, is using advanced Hawker batteries, chargers and management systems from EnerSys for lift trucks at its Crewe NDC.

The Hawker Perfect Plus range of advanced batteries have the Hawker Electrolyte Circulation System. This introduces an airflow into the battery which dissipates heat and moves the electrolyte continuously during charging so that it maintains a uniform specific gravity. The plates inside the battery are charged evenly and efficiently with no need for overcharging.

This improved efficiency and presence of airflow helps to reduce battery temperatures by as much as 10°C. EnerSys says charging times can be up to 30% shorter and energy consumption reduced by up to 20% compared with conventional batteries.
