The PowerCheq units can be retrofitted into existing systems, which allows our customers to keep their current configurations, saving time and money. PowerCheq offers a modular, non-dissipative, and inexpensive solution to charge equalization. The modules can easily be configured into existing and new battery systems, particularly EV, industrial liftruck, and golf car systems. An efficient and affordable equalizer means longer battery life and increased productivity for the end-user. Unlike conventional techniques, where a centralized equalizer is connected to every battery module within a stack, a PowerCheq is connected to each pair of battery modules in a staggered fashion to provide equalization for the whole stack.
Energy is diverted, in a lossless fashion, from overcharged batteries to the weakest link.
To increase its simplicity, Dr. Kutkut designed PowerCheq to operate without additional sensing or an external power source. Additionally, the equalizers can also be used for balancing in applications where loading among modules is unequal. PowerDesigners customizes PowerCheq to meet the specific needs of each customer, making the PowerCheq an efficient and profitable solution to battery-charged power. PowerDesigners, founded in 1997, is a manufacturer of innovative solutions designed to cater to the variety of needs found within battery-charged power. The company is located on 931 East Main Street, Suite 4 Madison, WI 53703.
