Managing energy: a very underestimated cost • The cost connected to battery maintenance and life are so called “hidden” and usually underestimated or not communicated correctly to the final user. • On the purchase cost of a professional cleaning machine, the costs connected to battery replacement and maintenance can arrive at up to two thirds of the initial machine cost in quite a short period of time. 4 Battery Life Saver Choice of battery: an important decision The different constructive technologies available on a battery can vary in either positive or negative points: Wet Sealed • Good ratio between cost and cycles (only tubular type) • Recharging of the batteries can be made in a closed area • Battery maintains its charge during battery life • No maintenance required • Charging of batteries cannot be made in a closed area • Periodic maintenance required • Battery looses its charge during battery life • Higher purchase cost Talking about cycles: be careful! You’re talking about battery life time A cycle is intended in a nearly total discharge of the battery, plus its total re-charge once again. The declared cycles of a battery equals the declaration of its life; for examples, 100 discharges and relative recharges. Unlike the “material handling” field, in which traction batteries are developed for an average use of at least 5 hours, the young professional cleaning machine field has an average use of less than 2 hours. The international norms in force make battery manufacturers declare the number of cycles connected to a discharge in 5 hours. The “Cleaning” machine market cannot (if not for a limited number of larger machinery requirements) recognise such discharge rate, as the machines are used on average for 2 hours. At this point the cycles of a battery become much more important, as they are a lot less than what is declared, respecting the international norms in force. Cleaning machine reality compared to cycle declaration norms Also the way the battery is used has an important impact on its life scale Obtaining the best out of a battery cycle means two things: discharge the battery nearly to its minimum, and then re-charge it once again to its total initial charge. A disorderly discharge and charge can not only reduce consistently the life of the battery, but also make the battery loose its total charge during the life time of the battery. Discharge Charge Discharge Complete cycle The battery is discharged until 80% and then re-charged totally Charge Incorrect cycle The battery is not discharged totally before being re-charged Battery charger: a crucial choice! The most frequent mistake made is under estimating the crucial role of a battery charger. As in other uses, even in this field there are battery chargers with different quality and technical performances; for example, the entry level chargers that do not control gasification and have very low energy efficiency. Good quality batteries can suddenly become very low performing, and cost a lot more in maintenance costs if the choice of the battery charger is not carefully made. 5 Battery Life Saver 12V - 24V - 36V - 48V Wet - Gel - AGM 4A - 13A - 20A - 25A - 30A - 40A More than 100 different configurations that cover all the cleaning machine market needs in only 3 models Battery Life Saver is an exclusive system developed by IPC Gansow for “Professional Cleaning” that can reduce down by up to 30% battery managing costs.
