Hawker evolution

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document provides a detailed description of the Hawker Evolution traction batteries, highlighting their maintenance-free nature, reduced charging time, and robust construction. These batteries are designed for use in material handling equipment and offer significant cost and efficiency benefits.

Construction and Design
The Hawker Evolution battery combines features of valve-regulated batteries with the robust design of traction cells. It uses lead calcium with tin for the positive plate and a gelled electrolyte to prevent acid leakage and stratification. The battery's design ensures a high gas recombination rate, preventing premature electrolyte dry out and extending the battery's life cycle.

Cell Connectors
The cells are connected using fully insulated, flexible, and halogen-free connectors, allowing easy replacement or movement without excessive work.

Charging
The battery supports a depth of discharge (DOD) of up to 80% for a 12-hour charge and 60% for an 8-hour charge. The Hawker Lifeplus and Powertech chargers are designed to ensure a safe and efficient charging process, reducing energy costs by up to 30%.

Benefits

Maintenance-free operation with no water topping required.
High energy efficiency and cost savings.
Decentralized charging due to low hydrogen emission.

Field of Applications
The batteries are suitable for low to normal duty applications in single-shift operations, including pallet trucks, order pickers, pallet stackers, and counterbalanced trucks. For higher capacities, a technical study is required.

EnerSys Commitment
EnerSys is committed to providing innovative energy solutions with a focus on rapid product development and customer support. Their integrated sales and service network ensures comprehensive solutions and after-sales support.
