The higher the charging rate, the more critical it is to monitor the charging process to prevent permanent capacity loss. In efforts to preserve battery life, Fast and Opportunity charging incorporates a method of monitoring battery electrolyte temperature and/or internal resistance and adjusting charging current as necessary.

Although these monitoring devices can have a very positive impact on battery life and performance in a Fast and Opportunity charge operation, the additional cost associated with monitoring devices is a significant factor in an initial investment. It is a good practice to match the monitor device with the charger manufacturer for best compatibility results. It’s important to note that many chargers work best with certain battery cable sizes, connectors, connector mounting brackets, single point watering systems, electrolyte temperature sensors, connector manufacturing preferences, and jumper cable assemblies. Careful consideration must be practiced with the purchase and installation of these various items to avoid costly mistakes.

Why take the time to carefully evaluate charging methods?

Organizations can experience substantial cost savings and productivity benefits with the right type of charging process. However, the wrong application can lead to a financial disaster for a motive power operation. It is critical to know all of the facts and implications before making any type of decision; then and only then can it be determined which charging method will meet operational needs.

The safest approach is to let EverExceed and its extensive agent network, an organization with years of industrial battery experience and customer motive power application success, evaluate an operation to help determine which charging method matches best.
