Key Features
Reduce Power Consumption and Energy Costs
With efficiency levels up to 97 percent, the V-HFM3 Series charger is more efficient than other high-frequency chargers on the market. It packs more power into a smaller, stackable footprint, saving space and AC infrastructure. Compared to other high-frequency chargers, the V-HFM3 Series is compact, lightweight, and power dense.
Smart Charging with Advanced Intelligence
Smart sensors and intelligent displays make battery charging safe and easy. Automatic voltage sensing identifies a battery upon connection and applies the correct charging profile from 24-96 volts without the use of a monitoring device, enabling one charger to take the place of many. High-visibility indicators and a color display provide quick indication of each charger's current state, while easy-to-read, LED indicator lights inform operators of charging status, cooling time, and equalizing and watering needs at a glance.
Flexibility to Meet Your Changing Needs
The modular design of the V-HFM3 Series charger allows it to be easily scaled to fit evolving charging requirements. Whether you need to charge lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries, upgrade hardware or software, or utilize conventional, opportunity, and fast charging methods, its unique design incorporates new technology and battery charging needs to enhance compatibility for today and the future. As business needs evolve, so does the V-HFM3 Series charger. Multi-voltage capability enables one charger to be configured to charge virtually any lift truck in your operation, from 24-96 volts, and handle input voltages around the world, from 208 to 600 volts.
Broad Connectivity Provides Seamless Integration
Multiple ways to access charger configuration and logs save time and money. Integrating your battery charger with monitoring and management systems is easier than ever. A built-in web browser accessible interface and support for Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB connections mean you can configure, monitor, and complete diagnostics seamlessly, without the need for special apps, cables, and software.
Unleash the Power of Battery Management
Connection with Crown's V-Force® Battery Monitoring Identification Device (BMID) provides additional levels of control to increase battery health and longevity, including simplified battery watering. Automatic temperature compensation and battery electrolyte level monitoring can also be implemented during the charging cycle.
The V-HFM3 Series is compatible with 24-96 volt LEAD-ACID & LITHIUM-ION batteries.
