Traction battery chargers: Tips
Although we could write long and hard on this subject, the objective is to provide you with as much information as possible about the different types of battery chargers available at so that you can make the best choice.
However, we remind you that you can contact us and ask for advice without any obligation, our professional team will be pleased to advise you.
There are three main types of traction battery chargers:
- Wo-Wa Chargers
- High Frequency (HF) Chargers
- Multi-voltage chargers
Let’s go into a little more detail on each of the types.
Wo-Wa Chargers
The Wo-Wa (Double slope charging), is a combined two-stage charging method that provides a constant voltage and current, whereby a faster charge is provided in a controlled manner.
It is the most widely used method since many years ago and, although this type of chargers have more than fulfilled their purpose , they are increasingly being replaced by the new high frequency chargers as they are much more efficient (75% vs 90%).
High frequency (HF) chargers
High-frequency chargers are becoming more and more widely used and will gradually gain market share, due to their high performance, features and low energy loss in the charging process.
It is true that their price is higher than conventional chargers, but this extra cost is more than compensated by their useful life and lower electricity costs, since their conversion ratio is much more favorable, in addition to not making voltage peaks when starting the charges (they are sustained over time), so they are a great investment.
Multi-voltage chargers
Multivoltage chargers offer, as their name suggests, the ability to charge batteries at different voltages (mainly 12V, 24V, 36V and 48V), making them very versatile products that can be adapted to the different charging needs that may arise over time.
Its clearer counterpart is that the type of battery and the desired voltage to be charged must be known very well, since a wrong configuration can cause irreparable damage to the battery in the worst case (as it happens in conventional Wa or WoWa chargers ).
What are traction batteries?
A traction battery, a difference from a starter battery, provides electricity to a circuit or mechanical assembly such as an electric vehicle for its movement of continuously for long periods.
They have been widely used in the industrial world for many years, for example in stackers or in forklifts, providing great logistic benefits to the companies that opt for this type of machinery.
