All good, GM Electric Chargers catch everyone’s eye

This love story is set in Germany in 2017. At the time our needs were changing, cracks had started to form in the relationship with our current battery charger partner, and our eye began to wander… Open to a new relationship we booked a flight and attended the CeMAT Exhibition in Hannover Germany.

It was there that a gorgeous, intelligent Italian model caught our eye….

Speed dating

After comparing all of the models on offer at the exhibition we found what we were looking for: a budget friendly, highly refined product with an easy to use interface. But it was the ‘flexibility’ that really stole our heart:

• Every GM Electric charger has the ability to quickly change the output Amps setting
• The H10 Series has further ability to not only change the output Amps but the output Voltage as well
• The HQC Series takes it a step further and can automatically detect the Amp Hour size and Voltage of the battery that it is connected to and uses proprietary algorithms to determine the optimum charging current. This means a single HQC charger can charge a mixture of different battery sizes and voltages without the user having to press any buttons or change any settings at all. One single HQC charger can replace every charger in the workshop!

The ST Series are all Single Phase entry level chargers. The HF Series introduce a display panel and are a mixture of Single and Three Phase Chargers depending on the battery size. The HF Series ramp up the ruggedness and include extra cooling fans for heavy duty use.

The H10 Series is highly flexible and allows the user to set both the output Amps and Voltage. The HQC Series is the nerdy type and automatically detects the battery size and voltage and adapts the charging current as required without the user having to manually change any settings at all.

Meeting the family

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. Over the next few years we collaborated together to:

• Introduce Fast Charging Profiles to their Chargers
• Manufacture Non-Standard Chargers to fulfil the unique requirements of our Australian customers

• 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 latest product, the HQC, contains proprietary algorithms making 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.

Choosing a Battery Charger for your Electric Forklift can be a confusing task… but our handy chart makes it easy. Simply compare your Battery Size (Ah) at the top of the chart with your Battery Voltage (24V, 36V, 48V or 80V) on the side of the chart to determine your Battery Charger model. Light green indicates that the charger is ‘suitable’ and dark green indicates that the battery charger is ‘ideal’ for your particular electric forklift.
