Smart Fast Charger
- SUITABLE FOR:24/36/48/72/80 Volt Batteries
- AVAILABILITY:AVAILABLE
A specialised Smart Forklift Battery Charger that IBA have been successfully supplying to the market for over 10 years, with a monitored heavy increase on standard charge output current designed for the Fast Charging of Forklift Batteries during Forklift usage shifts to greatly extend daily Electric Forklift run times and allow greater daily flexibility for Electric Forklift usage that is over and above a standard 8-hour usage shift. A standard Conventional Charger is designed for overnight Charging only, these Chargers can be used at any time of day. This package can include an optional closed loop Battery and Charger communication device, fitted to the Battery that communicates real time battery information to the charger to ensure precise Fast Charge supply and battery protection from the inherent stresses of Fast Charging. Designed for very high usage Electric Forklift applications, and the removal of Second shift Battery options for extended daily usage. These "Hybrid" (Transformer driven HF) Fast Chargers are designed and manufactured in Italy, and are an extremely robust and proven reliable charger option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fast Charging?
Fast Charging is the controlled and monitored charging of the battery during down periods throughout the day at a heavily increased rate of charge to retrun as much power as possible to the Battery in the shortest possible time frames. This keeps a high state of charge in your forklift battery and is perfect for multiple shifts operations, with the ability to potentially be able to remove second shift battery requirements.
Each charge cycle effectively provides a controlled 'Fast Charge' to the battery to increase usable battery capacity, resulting in much longer daily battery run times.
Why should you use a specilalsed charger when Opportunity or Fast Charging your Forklift Battery?
A Battery's life span is determined by the number of charge cycles that it can perform. This is usually around 1500-1800 charge and discharge cycles for any high quality Battery offering.
When a battery is on a charge, the greatest degree of deterioration occurs in the last 20% of charge, or what is commonly referred to as the gassing stage of charge, designed to mix the electrolyte in each cell to cover the lead plates and obtain 100% State of Charge.
If a battery being Opportunity charged is plugged into a standard charger (instead of a specialised Opportunity or Fast charger) throughout the day, and is not discharged more than 80%, a week's worth of wear can potentially be experienced in one day due to heat build up from both the constant usage and standard Charge processes throughout the day.
This effectively turns a five year battery into a one-two year battery. This is where the terminology “Opportunity Charging” has derived from. A Conventional or standard charger used for this type of charging to extend daily run times will irreparably damage a battery.
