Project description
The project consisted of the development and production of a multi-channel charging station integrated in a robust housing so that the station remains particularly mobile, according to customer-specific specifications, in order to ensure ideal storage management of our customers.
Note: Lithium batteries belong to be recharged regularly to avoid deep discharge.
The special challenge was to develop a multi-channel charger that would meet the high demands of the customer (up to 2A charging current and up to 10 batteries simultaneously per station) as well as provide the necessary safety features (short-circuit protection, overcurrent and overvoltage protection, etc.)
.The multi-channel charging station can also be used as 19 inch slide-in to add 20-, 30-, 40- or more channels to the charging station.
Thanks to our sophisticated adapter system, we are able to optionally equip each battery pack with your matching plug in order to charge it with our charging station. This means that you are flexible with the station and can charge different battery packs at the same time, as we have not installed any fixed plug adapters to the battery pack on the outside.
Focus of research
.Our goal was to develop a mobile charging station that optimally fulfils the needs for warehouse management for sensitive stored goods (lithium-ion batteries / lithium-polymer batteries). Correct, well thought-out storage management is, among other things, decisive for the Lifetime of lithium batteries, so it was important for us to also bring these requirements closer to the customers.
During development, we paid special attention to the universal range of application . It was also important to us that the charging station is mobile and can be expanded at any time (more channels), and that it has an ideal form factor (19-inch slot).
Thanks to the sophisticated system with adjustable values (charging current, battery type – 1S, 2S, 3S, 4S, 5S), we cover a wide range for our customers.
Thanks to the built-in safety features mentioned above (identification test with safety timer, short-circuit protection, overcurrent and overvoltage protection, and much more), you have here an optimal charging station for your storage system.
Our Solution
The AccuPower 10-Channel Charging Station is an intelligent 10-channel charging station for rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) as well as lithium-polymer (Li-Po) batteries with optional charging current (1A, 1.5A or 2A per channel).
The charging sockets on the charging station enable a universal solution that can be used with various charging cable adapters. The charging cable adapter is optionally available depending on the customer’s requirements. In addition, the timer starts automatically as soon as the battery is connected to the charger. The charging station has a safety pre-charge phase with a safety timer before the main charge. If the battery voltage has not reached the minimum permissible voltage during this time, the charging process is stopped. In addition, the charging station has overcurrent and overvoltage protection as well as short-circuit protection.
