ALTEN Battery Chargers are used everyday in a variety of applications.  With our wide range of gas and diesel-powered generators and battery chargers, we’re bound to have a solution that fits your application, even if it isn’t listed here.

 

Remote Power Systems with ALTEN Battery Chargers and DC Generators

Remote Power Systems

Many industries depend on off-grid power solutions to supply mission-critical power to remote sites. These engineered systems typically include one form or another of renewable energy to charge large battery banks. Although renewable energy sources provide clean and low maintenance power, they are intermittent, only available when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. As a result, remote sites that rely solely on these forms of renewable power can run into power demand shortfalls or excessive battery discharging, significantly decreasing the performance and reliability of the remote application.

APU with ALTEN Battery Chargers and DC Generators

Auxiliary Power Units

Owners and operators of heavy equipment in the transportation industry must deal with expanding anti-idling laws that do not permit extended engine idling. This can be a problem when a driver takes rest breaks on long trips.  Many APU (Alternate Power Units) manufactures use complex and costly systems involving water cooled AC diesel generators, special heating/cooling systems, battery chargers and inverters to provide comfort and power to the driver during rest periods.  However, most highway trucks are already equipped with large batteries that  make up the backbone of the vehicle's power supply.

Dead Ship Charging with ALTEN Battery Chargers and DC Generators

Dead Ship Charging

Federal regulations require an on board generator to operate critical electrical systems and provide power to start the engines in the event of a condition known as Dead Ship Condition.  Commercial vessels such as fishing trawlers and tug boats have large battery banks onboard and if the charging system goes down, you can be left stranded.  ALTEN Battery Chargers can backup critical battery power at the dock or out at sea. 

Off-road with ALTEN Battery Chargers and DC Generators
 

Motor Sports

Professionals and enthusiasts demand a lot out of their batteries.  The combination of extreme conditions and heavy battery usage can take their toll, leaving your ride out of order when or where you least expect it. ALTEN Battery Chargers powered by the dependable Honda GX series gas engines, are quiet, powerful and lightweight, as little as 26 pounds. Get one, it could save you a lot of aggravation, win you some friends and maybe the race too.   

Heavy Equipment Charging with ALTEN Battery Chargers and DC Generators

Off-Road Equipment

Equipment downtime means lost productivity and money. Mobile industrial equipment above ground or below in any industry are subject to tough conditions and hard use. Batteries self discharge if left unattended for long periods, and nothing kills a lead acid battery faster than leaving them flat for extended periods. Flat batteries are a common problem and a service calls can be costly. Trying to charge or start a big machine from you pickup truck can cause even more trouble and consume excessive amounts of fuel. ALTEN Battery Chargers come in portable gas and diesel models, and are sized to minimize equipment downtime.

First Reponse with ALTEN Battery Chargers and DC Generators

First Responders

First Responders depend on mission-critical equipment that may be supported by batteries or vehicle alternators. This might include anything from a mobile command center to a portable radio repeater station.   Where reliable DC power is required, ALTEN Battery Chargers provide portable professional grade solutions, that are as dependable as your team.

Off-grid Living with ALTEN Battery Chargers and DC Generators

Off-Grid Living

Reliable off-grid power systems usually have oversized solar arrays, wind turbines and battery banks to bridge renewable generation shortfalls. In fact, depending on the level of comfort and security needs, renewable off-grid energy packages can be twice the size required to cover the intermittent occasions when a smaller system could not have kept up with demand. Adding an AC generator  to bridge the renewable energy shortfall makes the system more reliable, but much more expensive with all of the automatic transfer switchgear also required.  

Outdoor Recreation with ALTEN Battery Chargers and DC Generators

Outdoor Recreation

Sports fishing amateurs and professionals alike use powerful electric trolling motors that can drain batteries quickly.  Whether you’re into fishing or any other battery-dependant outdoor activity, flat batteries can make for a shorter trip than planned when you’re miles from the nearest power outlet.

Campers equipped with batteries that recharge from the tow vehicle, can be a cause for an unsettling night’s sleep for those worried about being able to start their vehicle in the morning.  Idling your vehicle to charge your trailer battery is not only a costly waste of fuel, but could  leave you stranded, making for a longer trip than planned.
