Introducing the ‘Premium Plus HQC’ Range
The ‘Universal H10’ model was a faithful workhorse of the GM Electric Range for many years but in 2025 the ‘Universal H10’ was replaced with the ‘Premium Plus HQC’ Range. The specifications and prices remained the same, with the exception that the ‘Premium Plus HQC’ charger contains three key upgrades:
- Choice between Manual and Auto Voltage modes:
- MANUAL: User can select a fixed voltage output (up to the advertised voltage of the particular charger purchased), e.g. if an 80 Volt charger is purchased then the user can select any voltage up to and including 80V (24V, 36V, 40V, 48V, 60V, 72V, 80V) but cannot select a higher voltage than what was purchased (96V or 120V),
- AUTO: Charger can automatically detect the voltage of the battery that it is connected too (up to the advertised voltage of the particular charger purchased) from the following ‘most common’ voltages only: 24V, 36V, 48V & 80V.
- A more sophisticated LCD Display, and
- Lithium Battery Charging capability via CAN-BUS communication.
We are pleased to announce that the the ‘Premium Plus HQC’ Charger is now available in Australia for this particular battery charger voltage and amp configuration.
Buyers Guide
Choosing a Battery Charger for your Electric Forklift can be a confusing task. Our mission at Forklift Battery Chargers Direct is to provide you with the best quality battery chargers available at the lowest possible prices.
The orange and green chart (last image in the product gallery) will assist you to select your required Battery Charger. Simply compare your Electric Forklift Battery Capacity (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.
