CenturyYuasa has announced their partnership with AeroVironment to bring the successful US brand of fast chargers, PosiCharge to Australian shores.

Having already established themselves as a preferred provider of forklift power solutions with their existing range of batteries, chargers and accessories for battery electric forklifts, CenturyYuasa have now launched PosiCharge fast chargers to their Australian customers.

The benefits of using battery electric forklifts are already numerous, and for customers implementing a fast charging solution rather than changing batteries for extended or multiple shifts these benefits are greatly multiplied. Because this technology delivers short, precise, high-power charges to the battery while in the vehicle, charge time is typically no longer than a shift break.

Fast charging:

• Maximises run time,
• Eliminates battery changing,
• Reduces operating costs,
• Creates a safer workplace,
• Eliminates extra batteries,
• Charges the battery in the vehicle; &
• Enhances productivity.

With PosiCharge smart chargers, vehicles never stop working in order to change batteries. Companies can run trucks on one battery all day just by plugging in for a quick charge during breaks and shift changes. This has eliminated the need for battery changing and everything that goes with it: unproductive space devoted to a battery room, as many as hundreds of extra batteries, battery changing equipment, time-wasting trips to the battery room, and extra maintenance on battery inventories. Keeping vehicles operating can result in savings of up to 70 percent compared to battery changing.

Many of the world's leading automotive manufacturers, food and beverage companies, retailers and airlines have addressed these concerns by converting to a more space efficient and productive solution for providing power to their forklift and ground support equipment fleets. These companies are permanently replacing their battery rooms with thousands of decentralized smart chargers from industry leader PosiCharge.
