Taking control
Colin McCartney, National Accounts Manager for ECOBAT Battery Technologies, explains how you can take control with ECOBAT’s Rapid Charge System and WiFi chargers.
Despite the perception that lithium-ion batteries solve each and every challenge the cleaning professional will encounter, there are several fundamental issues, which include its cost and environmental credentials, that remain question marks over its ultimate suitability for every application.
When considering factors such as the requirements of the equipment, the timeframes for both charge
opportunity and overall lifespan, as well as
the cost, alternative options – which more closely reflect the positives of lithium-ion in terms of durability and recharge speed but without the negatives of price and the environmental concerns – can provide a better solution.
In the majority of monobloc battery scenarios, the ECOBAT Rapid Charge System (a lead crystal battery with a tailormade charger) will provide cleaning companies an extremely compelling proposition for multiple applications.
When tackling the recharge question head-on, for larger equipment, the main priority is generally to deliver a long run time allied to the fastest possible charging period, which is the primary objective of the Rapid Charge System. With a four-hour recharge, the solution therefore fulfils the requirements of sectors such as the hire market and for shift work.
Convenience and control are two key words for any business, but for the cleaning industry and the time pressures inherent with having to undertake work either on an immediate response basis or during a limited timeframe, they take on an even greater importance.
When it comes to cleaning machinery and ensuring it is ready for use whenever it is needed, convenience and control are vital factors. So, the ability to take greater control over the charge regime that can be applied to each and every machine will have a direct effect on its operational efficiency, as well as its length of service.
The ECOBAT WiFi charger range provides an ultra- convenient solution that gives users the ultimate in control. These multi-voltage WiFi chargers, which can operate between 12 and 48-volts, can be adjusted via the app, as opposed to having to manually change the dip switches to make alterations, which makes them an exceptionally convenient option.
This means that when swapping between wet and GEL batteries, for example, there is no need to touch the charger to change the voltage or settings, as it can all be done through a smartphone.

Another major benefit is the ability to record and download the charge cycle information for each battery. This is a vital tool to ensure that they are being correctly charged and therefore their use is fully optimised.
To fully understand how to get the most out of the batteries they use and reap the greatest return on their investment, operators really need to grasp what each battery is undergoing – its charging history – as this allows them to identify issues and make the necessary changes to solve the problems. With this system, the information is instantly available in order for them to act proactively.
We are delighted to be able to offer our customers this useful battery management tool, which in addition to its adjustment options, also allows users to view safety guidelines, operational guides and troubleshooting for common battery or charger issues. It is a genuinely added- value option for the ongoing maintenance and general upkeep of cleaning equipment and is very much in keeping with our sales, support and innovation ethos.
