In industries where uninterrupted power delivery is paramount – from mobility to material handling, telecom, and off-grid systems – selecting the right battery charger can drastically improve battery life, performance, and system efficiency. Valen Power offers a broad suite of chargers including Valen-branded, EPS, and Victron models, each engineered for specific applications. Let’s explore which charger fits your needs best.
Valen Battery Chargers
Valen-branded chargers are convection-cooled units crafted to meet Australian and New Zealand standards, especially suitable for mobility equipment such as scooters and electric wheelchairs. They’re designed for correct charging to maximise battery longevity and efficiency Valen.
Valen 24V Convection Cooled Battery Chargers
Features: Universal input (110–240V), convection-cooled (silent, no fan), protections (thermal, reverse polarity, short-circuit, spark), and built-in LED indicators for charge status and capacity Valen.
Applications: Ideal for mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs, offering reliable, whisper-quiet operation with safety at the forefront.
Why Choose It: A robust, low-noise charger that protects your investment and your customers’ mobility devices.
EPS Battery Chargers (Valen)
EPS Battery Chargers are well known for their reliability, which is why Valen currently stock a range of the EPS (Electronic Power Systems) Battery Chargers. Designed specifically for light electric vehicles like scooters, EPS chargers feature multi-stage charging: initial light charge → boost charge → pulse maintenance for optimal battery readiness.
Available Models:
- 12V Units (e.g., 20A variants)
- 24V Units (ranging from 4A up to 35A)
Options include Anderson connector versions for ease of use.
Typical Applications:
- EPS 12V 20A: Great for electric scooters needing regular, efficient charging.
- EPS 24V 4A: Suited for mobility scooters; emphasizes longevity and maintenance-friendly operation Valen.
- Larger amp variants (e.g., 35A) can support heavier battery banks or faster charging needs.
Why Choose It: Tailored to mobility use-cases, EPS chargers offer controlled, efficient, and battery-health-centric charging, perfect for end users wanting reliability and longevity.
