48 Volt 120 Amp Battery Charger – Refurbished
Australia’s #1 Online Store for Electric Forklift Battery Chargers
Australian owned Forklift Battery Chargers Direct have formed an international partnership with Italy’s GM Electric to make their exceptional range of High Frequency Battery Chargers available to the Australian Material Handling Industry.
GM Electric have been manufacturing high frequency battery chargers in their Italian factory for over 35 years. Their chargers service the electric vehicle, aerial platform, industrial cleaning and material handling sectors. We are proud to be the exclusive importer of GM Electric High Frequency Battery Chargers within Australia.
Our partnership began at the CeMAT Exhibition Hannover Germany in 2017. We were introduced to GM Electric’s Technical Director and not only was he friendly and engaging, he was prepared to listen and incorporate our feedback and requests. Our relationship had begun and over the next few years we collaborated together to:
- Introduce optional Fast Charging Profiles to their Battery Chargers
- Manufacture Non-Standard Battery Chargers to fulfil unique requirements of our Australian customers
What do our Customers Say?
Why are GM Electric Chargers the best?
We know Italians make the best pizza and pasta (and their afternoon siesta’s sound pretty good too) but what electronic wizardry are those well rested and highly caffeinated Italians up to at the GM Electric Factory so that they keep producing the best battery chargers year after year?
- For over 15 years GM Electric have used a ZVT Full Bridge Topology which guarantees high efficiency (>95%) and low noise levels (only in very recent times have competitors begun using this topology in this manner too).
- GM Electric Control Circuits, both for power and charging cycles, have reliability built in with several redundancies incorporated to avoid control losses and component failure.
- GM Electric incorporate discrete semiconductors and they have developed a way to fully protect them from dust and acidic battery vapour. This allows full power in less space and less weight required for heat sinks.
- Their fans are thermostatically controlled to limit dust and vapours.
Battery Charger Market Leaders
GM Electric’s passion and determination to carefully satisfy their customers needs ensures that they remain leaders in the High Frequency Battery Charger International Market:
- GM Electric continually develop their technology to maintain their position as market leaders in power efficiency achieving an unrivalled ~95% efficiency. With rising power costs installing energy efficient battery chargers is a smart business decision ensuring an exceptional return on investment.
- GM Electric understand their customers needs for reliability. They have built an exceptional reputation for reliability in the Australian material handling sector and are trusted by major companies like Aldi, Bunnings, Lion Batteries, Sweepers Australia, Uncle Tobys and Qantas. Every charger in their range comes with technical support and a factory two year warranty.
- GM Electric battery chargers are the most flexible and adaptable on the market. An easy to use interface allows the user to set Voltage, Amperage, Cell type (Lead Acid / Gel / AGM) and Charging Profiles from the display panel without dongles, cables or additional software.
- Their Fast Opportunity Battery Chargers operate without the requirement to install complex Battery Monitoring Systems on your battery, simplifying operations and reducing costs. Instead a simple temperature probe is installed to your battery.
- Their latest product, the ‘Digital HQC‘, contains their intelligent HQC function. This proprietary HQC Charging algorithm makes it possible to charge batteries with the minimum charging current possible, thus reducing the heating up of the battery and saving power and money. The HQC range of battery chargers adapt automatically to the conditions and charge status of the batteries, providing an optimal charge whilst preventing wasted energy and is especially beneficial for batteries that have seen some years of service.
