The Fronius battery charger offers a series of advantages in terms of safety, economy and battery preservation. Know more about!

One of the electric vehicle markets that end up being less cited, because they are a little older, are work vehicles, whether small, such as internal logistics forklifts, or large and heavy construction vehicles. This market, however, tends to grow. Companies will abandon diesel machinery for electric ones, in pursuit of the much-desired Zero Carbon milestone, and with that, interest in battery chargers will grow.

The question that remains is: how can this change not become a problem anymore, with current electricity rates increasing more and more? The answer is an intelligent battery charging system that doesn't overheat the batteries and waste energy.

• Solid state batteries promise to revolutionize the electric car market by delivering more autonomy and safety to drivers
• Ford breaks electric car rules! Mustang Mach-E wins respect around the world and will charge more than 80% at full power
• Scania, a global leader in the production of heavy trucks, buses and engines, has just installed 40 lithium-ion electric forklift trucks at the São Paulo unit, responsible for storing and supplying spare parts for all of Latin America

Fronius works with smart chargers, which have a unique charging process for lead-acid traction batteries and also for lithium batteries. According to the company's own website, the process involved in this charging does not cause the batteries to overheat, which will increase both the battery's useful life and reduce energy consumption, since in this sense, overheating is an electrical charge problem being turned into excessive heat.

When it comes to energy savings, Fronius charger technology can reduce the total energy cost of charging batteries by up to 30%. Another differential is the exclusive technology brought to Fronius do Brasil, where you can use up to 84% of energy when charging the battery, with an average efficiency of 74% for other chargers.

Minimizing risks and maximizing savings

Another issue in which Fronius chargers are able to differentiate themselves is in terms of safety and practicality. As chargers avoid overheating and still manage to adapt to several different batteries in the same charger, you avoid accidents with the battery due to lack of attention and processes caused by less battery gassing.

The battery gasification process can cause an explosion with a spark nearby, which would be, in addition to the damage, very dangerous for its employees, which could generate even more problems and expenses for the company.

Using this technology, your company becomes more energy efficient, safer and even saves on the purchase of new batteries!

Check out the new Fronius battery charger launch

Fronius Perfect Charge recently launched the Selectiva 4.0 model, focusing on batteries with voltages from 96 to 120V, with a different focus from the models discussed so far.

These chargers are specially designed for heavy machinery and other types of vehicles that face adverse situations, which can include variation in the electrical network, fluctuation of load and other issues that could damage the batteries. 

Another advantage that this new technology brings is the possibility of charging two batteries of different voltages at the same time with the Fronius charge interlock.

“With the expansion of the portfolio, we were able to reach another significant segment of the market, with all the advantages that Fronius technology offers. All of these features developed by Fronius can result in savings of around 30% in electricity consumption and increase the useful life of vehicles and equipment, which impacts the company's operating costs,” he says. Mariana Kroker, business manager of the Perfect Charging unit at Fronius do Brasil.

These chargers have been meeting a growing need for battery chargers in outdoor environments, since, together with their “smaller sisters”, large-scale machinery used in civil construction works and similar areas has been undergoing an interesting process of decarbonization.
