Significant cost savings
With a focus on ensuring its nationwide team of independent charger agents is up to speed with the latest range introductions, Curtis Instruments has held its latest customer seminar at its UK Northampton offices.
Key aspects covered included the new DIN safety standard 41774 for pulse charge curves, which is how the recently launched 8 hour PrimoPulse charger operates.
Of particular note and interest was how the pulse charging method provides users with significant cost savings. Benefits include:
- Energy savings due to lower charge factor (typically 8-10% compared to 16-20% for Wa and WoWa charging)
- Faster charging compared to Wa chargers
- Reduced water consumption due to lower charge factor and consequently less battery maintenance: and reduced minimum battery temperature increase due to the lower charge factor and resulting increased battery life.
