Electrochem Introduces New Line of Custom Battery Charging Solutions
December 15, 2008 - Electrochem, a leader in battery and wireless sensing technologies for critical industrial markets, announced today its new line of custom charging solutions to accompany its offering of rechargeable battery packs. Electrochem's charging capabilities ranges from simple single bay chargers to complex multi-bay chargers incorporating smart electronics and battery management. Their expansion into offering charging systems complements their secondary battery portfolio of lithium, nickel and lead acid chemistries.
"As an expert in battery technology, it is a natural evolution to offer accompanying charging systems to our battery pack customers as their complete technology partner," commented Susan Bratton, Senior Vice President. "Our customers can now come to Electrochem for a total rechargeable battery solution from a singular dedicated partner. We have expanded our product portfolio significantly over the past year with both battery and wireless sensing technologies, reiterating our commitment to investing in long term solutions to support our customers' applications."
With extensive experience in battery chemistries, Electrochem approaches each charging solution with a custom design to ensure the optimal performance of the Electrochem battery pack. Electrochem's engineering team performs a thorough design process that covers a range of considerations, including electrical characteristics, physical attributes, mechanical requirements and user interface needs.
Because of the more complex nature of the secondary battery packs that Electrochem provides, their custom charging solutions correspondingly incorporate many "smart" features such as monitoring of the battery's voltage, temperature and/or time under charge to determine the optimum charge current and termination of charging when a combination of the voltage, temperature and/or time indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Custom chargers from Electrochem are available as a part of a total solution with a custom designed rechargeable battery pack. To learn more, go to electrochemchargers.com.
