Selection
Lithium-Ion Battery chargers for Intralogistics
Versatile and Safe - our selection lithium-ion chargers
With our SelectION lithium-ion chargers we offer a safe, efficient and flexible charging solution – that makes Plug & Charge to your new standard. Smart engineering by the highest quality standard ensures easy operations and reduced downtime. Thanks to our intelligent Fronius CAN protocol, the BatteryLink, a seamless and fast communication between the charger and lithium-ion battery is guaranteed. No additional manual setting of characteristics or parameters are necessary. This ensures a safe and efficient lithium-ion charging process at any time.
BatteryLink - Revolutionized CAN communication
Communication is key – not just in business life – also for our SelectION chargers. That’s why we revolutionized the CAN Communication between the charger and the battery with one goal: to make the communication as easy and user-friendly as possible. When our protocol is implemented by battery manufacturer, plug & charge is your new standard.
Through an automatic baud rate detection, the charger adapts individually to your lithium-ion battery. Your benefit? Versatile charging ensuring highest levels of safety
- Baud rate can be fixed at the charger (125 kpbs, 250 kpbs, 500 kpbs or 1 mbps) or set to automatic detection.
- The hardware interface automatically detects the voltage of the connected batteries.
- CANopen: CAN 4.0 A 11Bit
- The communication between BMS and charger is monitored (heartbeats every 100 ms).
Your benefits with Selection Lithium-Ion Forklift battery chargers
Multivoltage - One Charger for many Opportunities
Multivoltage capability enables one charger to charge lithium-ion batteries from 24-80V, the same charger can also be used to charge batteries with lower voltages. This makes the charging process straightforward and safe by avoiding the use of an incompatible charger.
1. Avoid expensive peak loads
A
maximum AC power can be set for gentle charging over a certain period of time,
helping to avoid expensive peak loads.
More choice of compatible batteries
SelectION chargers recognize the communication speed of the BMS (Battery Management System) and adapt to it accordingly. This allows a wide range of batteries to be served.

Make use of beneficial energy rates
The calendar function on our SelectION chargers makes time controlled-charging possible. Save costs by taking advantage of nontariff energy rates.
Better predictability and transparency
Optimize the efficiency of your charging processes by retrieving the data via the integrated USB port and analyzing the relevant statistics.
Reduce sparking at high currents to a minimum
If the charging lead is disconnected while charging is in progress, the external start/stop function prevents sparking.
Voltage fluctuations?
The high mains tolerance of our chargers ensures a continuous operation even with voltage fluctuations from -15% to +30*%.
Customize to your specific needs
The display can be configured according to your needs to visualize the parameters that are most relevant to you.
Why lithium-ion traction batteries
The low complexity in handling argues for the use of lithium-ion batteries: They are maintenance-free and do not need to be replaced even during multi-shift operation. Instead, the batteries can be opportunity charged during breaks or shift changes. Whether to use lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries should be decided individually for each case.
