MOD 3
HAWKER
®’s modular charging revolution continues with the new LIFESPEED
® MOD3 charger
– the latest innovation of high-frequency switch-mode smart chargers from HAWKER
®, the
world leader in high-frequency charging technology. Offering the flexibility of a fast charger,
an opportunity charger, and a straight-through charger, LIFESPEED
® MOD3 chargers provide
optimum charging, peak efficiency, and non-stop power while reducing charging costs and
energy demands.
Opportunity Charging – The LIFESPEED
® MOD3 includes
a distinct opportunity charge profile which returns capacity
to the battery during breaks without excessively gassing
the battery. The opportunity profile can be set either
manually using front panel menus or automatically using
HAWKER
®’s BBWC.
ACCELRATE ® FAST CHARGING
Coupled with the BBWC, this patented charge algorithm
enables the LIFESPEED
® MOD3 charger to automatically
adapt to battery voltage, AH capacity, and state of charge.
This provides a 100% amphere hour return from an 80% DoD
in just 2-3 hours while avoiding excessive heat generation.
ACCELRATE
® TECHNOLOGY’S DISCHARGE CIRCUIT
Through a patented charge algorithm, the AccelRate® profile
reduces the natural resistance of the battery by inserting
discharge cycles at precise intervals into the charging profile.
This homogenizes the ion field around the plates, promoting
a far better distribution of the active ions over the entire
charging area. Therefore, a substantially higher charging
current can be applied and maintained, resulting in a much
faster charge with a controlled increase in the electrolyte
temperature.
BENEFITS AND HIGHLIGHTS
Combining HAWKER
®’s LIFESPEED
® charging expertise with
the advantages of modular technology, LIFESPEED
® MOD3
chargers deliver a variety of benefits to enhance your operation.
Fast Charging – The LIFESPEED
® MOD3 charger utilizes
patented AccelRate
® technology to create a unique charge
algorithm. When combined with the exceptional efficiency
and power factor of high-frequency switch mode technology,
these chargers can recharge your batteries 3-5 times faster
than conventional units.
Energy Savings – LIFESPEED
® MOD3 technology offers
the highest conversion efficiency and power factor available
in the industry – significantly reducing electrical consumption
and demand charges. The LIFESPEED
® MOD3 operates at
efficiencies of up to 94% and a power factor of .96.
Plug-and-Play Flexibility – The LIFESPEED
® MOD3 responds
dynamically to charge a wide range of battery voltages and
capacities without user intervention. LIFESPEED
® is the easiest
high-frequency switch-mode charger in the industry to
operate. On-site programming capabilities allow the charger
to be custom tailored to the application’s specific needs.
Advanced Data Management – The chargers communicate
wirelessly with the Battery Boss
® WC (BBWC) and maintain
a data history of numerous charge parameters for analysis
and optimization. Optional Ethernet interface can provide
network connectivity for remote monitoring and data
collection with HAWKER
®'s
LifeNetwork™.

ADDITIONAL CHARGE PROFILE OPTIONS
The LIFESPEED
® MOD3 offers two additional charge profile
options based on your operation’s requirements:
1. IONIC – This patented, exclusive profile is the preferred
choice for most applications. Employing periodic current
pulses which both identify the battery’s true capacity and
state of charge, as well as mix the electrolyte throughout
charge to avoid acid stratification. This profile provides the
optimal recharge with minimal heating.
2. Opportunity – The charger current is up to a 25% start
rate depending on battery and charger size.
The opportunity profile may be used with or without a
BBWC. When employing a BBWC, the charger will change
profiles based on the BBWC’s settings. Without a BBWC,
you must program the charger in opportunity charge
mode. When using a BBWC in opportunity mode,
POWERLINE™ and ENERGY-PLUS™ batteries receive an
extra year of warranty.
Equalize and complete charge time parameters must be
programmed through the charger configuration screen.
Cold Storage Program – The LIFESPEED
® MOD3 charger
series automatically engages to the cold storage program if
the battery temperature is below 59°F.
ADVANTAGES OF MODULAR POWER
Power You Can Count On – The new high-frequency
modular LIFESPEED
® MOD3 charger supplies dependable,
proven power – delivering maximum reliability and
improved efficiency to keep you moving.
Simplified Service – The LIFESPEED
® MOD3 self-
diagnostics feature alerts operators to any possible failures.
Replacement modules are available for quick delivery, and
because of their design, installation is fast and simple.
Flexible. Adaptable. Fast. – The modules in HAWKER
®’s
chargers automatically adjust to effectively charge the
battery while maintaining optimal efficiency and best
power factor.
The modular design of the LIFESPEED
® MOD3 allows for
adaptation to a variety of battery capacities, potentially
reducing or eliminating the need for more chargers in
your fleet.
Eliminate Downtime – When employing two to twelve*
individual power modules, LIFESPEED
® MOD3 chargers
provide you with a non-stop charge. Even if one module
stops working, the rest will keep working to continue
charging the battery – making downtime a thing of the past.
Scalability for Future Needs – Our modular charger
design offers the advantage of scalability. The 6-bay
and 12-bay* LIFESPEED
® MOD3 charger cabinets allow
modules to be added in response to changing power
needs. Your current operations may require only a few
modules to effectively charge your batteries, but if
your workload changes, these larger cabinets can quickly
accommodate additional modules to meet your expanded
power requirements.
Environmentally Engineered – The HAWKER
® LIFESPEED
®
MOD3 chargers consume less electricity, simultaneously
reducing battery recharge costs while positively impacting
our carbon footprint.
