High Voltage Hybrid Battery Chargers

                           (for professionals only - we cannot sell to individuals)

**Please Note: 

We are again producing chargers and accepting orders! Please contact Claude Phipps at crphipps@aol.com
indicating which unit you would like to buy. Our most exciting new unit is the model 330, which will charge
all batteries faster at a more constant rate. Check it out!

Overview

We designed and developed an outstanding line of industrial quality high voltage hybrid battery chargers. These
share a unique design without transformers or other heavy, power consuming devices. Typical weight for standard units
is 7 pounds. The control board switches input power directly into your battery and stops the charge at a level which you
set. We have an excellent reputation with our customers - and you should have one to use in your shop!

Five Levels of Safety in the Design

• Rectifiers cannot conduct in the reverse direction operated within ratings
• All components are rated to withstand 2 times their operating voltage
• 480V fuses and a 50A thermal breaker or a solid-state relay in series with battery leads
• Model 165 (our newest) has 4 selectable voltage settings
• Charge voltage on the other units is set with a precise vernier knob on a 10-turn pot
• All units can operate indefinitely into a short circuit
• Most operate reliably down to 24V

Comments from Users:

"These are wonderful pieces of machinery. I can tell that you put great care into the design and build of each one! ....
It has been workng phenomenally. I couldn't have asked for a better charger."

Note 1: Charge time in Table is from dead zero. Proportionally less for topping up a battery!

We build when you order. For the model 450, you attach your own power cables to terminals at rear of unit.

Two model 450's mounted in one rack will charge a 405V 85kWh battery in 2.5 hours. Total cost with rack about 22k$.

Note 2: What you save with a hybrid automobile: 25 kWh from your wallplug costs $2.50. Let's say you drive your
SUV an hour a day. A typical SUV cruising at 60 mph uses 36 hp (25kW) in steady driving. In an hour, that's 25kWh.
Its mileage is 20 mpg. In an hour, it has gone 60 miles, and used 3 gallons of fuel. A gallon costs $2.10, so that hour
cost $6.30 in gas. If it were charging a hybrid instead, at 80% efficiency, you would have saved $3.80/day, $115 a month.
Is that convincing?
