Summary of Japanese Distributor's Test Results

On a field test at a user's site, our Japanese distributor achieved the following results on a 12V 100AH battery, which was between three and four years old at the time of the ninety day test period:
  • running time extended from 5.8 hours to 8.2 hours,
  • charging time to 8 amp decreased from 3.5 hours to 1 hour.

On a 36V 960AH battery:

  • running time increased from 2 hours to 5 hours after just seven days' use.

On another test at a customer's site, a 9 year old 48V forklift battery was used. This machine had very low running time, and required charging during the lunch break to be serviceable through the workday.
