Users of large electric vehicle fleets normally invest in 'topping up' systems to save time and increase efficiency.
Users with smaller fleets often find that such an investment is not warranted because of the cost of the filling unit.
CMP Batteries is set to change that with the introduction of the Mini Aquajet, this is a lower cost, lower capacity water container than the larger Aquajet Plus but works with the standard Aquajet battery components.
Mini Aquajet is more suitable for smaller forklift truck users.
Based on the patented and proven Aquajet system, it is designed for smaller fleet users and can accurately fill a battery in 15 seconds compared to 10 minutes with conventional systems.
A typical mixed electric fleet using 10 vehicles will save up to 30% of maintenance costs over 5 years, including the purchase cost of the Mini Aquajet.
The Aquajet system has a low profile and can be fitted to almost any battery.
It utilises water injectors that are permanently attached to the battery and are filled from special high-flow water supplies, such as the new Mini Aquajet Trolley.
Each injector has its own level sensor, enclosed in a tough plastic housing.
There are no floats or exposed parts to get caught.
When the water reaches the injector tip, it shuts off instantly.
Mini Aquajet is designed with real world applications in mind; it can work in extremely hot and dusty environments and features a unique no-freeze tubing system, where surplus water is drained into cells after filling is complete.
Each cell has its own direct vent to atmosphere along with its own injector filter, in addition to the filter screen on the water supply to ensure the electrolyte mix remains uncontaminated.
