New Products * Charging, Testing & Monitoring Multi-Unit Radio Chargers Delmmar Communications Corp., a provider of commercial two-way radios and radio repair to companies nationwide, has announced the addition of two new enhanced multi-unit chargers for Motorola radios. In addition to offering Motorola Solutions energy and charging products, Delmmar now offers businesses the option of enhanced commercial series multi-unit chargers (MUCs), and continues to provide Impres MUCs for the Mototrbo line of two-way radios. The majority of business radio users use the single unit chargers, which came standard with their radios. Businesses who have numerous chargers can find it challenging to fine adequate space and electrical outlets to accommodate the chargers. The use of a six unit gang charger, also known as a multi-unit charger (MUC), can be used to solve the problem. The MUC has a smaller footprint and requires only one electrical outlet. Due to technological advances in the radio industry manufacturers, including Motorola Solutions, are beginning to offer new and smarter energy and charging products. The recently introduced Commercial Series MUC offers a compact design for a smarter, more productive workspace. This gang charger features an industry standard six pockets for batteries to charge either on or off of the radio. Improvements to this MUC were prompted by dealer and customer requests for chargers with versatile interchangeable charging pockets. The multi-unit charger PMLN6588 is compatible with the CP150, CP200, CP200d and PR400 commercial series radios. The MUC PMLN6597 is designed to be compatible with the CP185. Extra interchangeable pockets are soon to be released, part numbers: NNTN8460 for CP200 family of radios and NNTN8461 for the CP185. For convenience a Wall Mount Bracket NNTN6844 is expected to be released soon as a separate option. Cell-Con, Inc. has medical device approval, ISO 13485:2003 and is ITAR registered, providing commercial grade battery chargers and battery pack assembly to original equipment manufacturers in the portable power market, including medical, industrial, military, transportation, instrumentation, electric lifts, utility & metering, RFID, robotic and data acquisition markets. Tellus Power Introduces a Electric Vehicle Charging Station Line Tellus Power has introduced a new electric vehicle (EV) charging station line for the US market. The chargers feature a modern and durable design, low cost network and a convenient financing model. The stations are well suited for use in retail and office parking garages. The chargers can also be used for fueling EV fleet or car rental companies. Tellus Power's solution for the US market is built on four key components: design, durability, low cost network and convenient financing options. The electric car charging station line includes networked Level 2, a Combo Level 1/Level 2 and Dual Level 2 chargers. The charging line allows hosts and fleet operators to configure stations according to their needs, either the dual Level 2 to accommodate two EVs at a time or a combo Level 1/Level 2 to support legacy EVs, electric motorcycles and e-scooters. All units are ETL certified and conform to the highest safety standards. Close to 80 charge connections have been installed, field tested and operational in Houston and Austin, TX as well as Canada since 2011, both equipment and the network have proven to be durable and reliable. The entire charging station line is equipped with a display that allows easy driver interaction. Additional functions such as user access authorization and subsequent cashless billing via text messaging are readily available. OutBack Power Expands Radian Family to Extend Value for Customers Across Global Markets Cell-Con, Inc. Announces A Line of Lithium Iron Phosphate Chargers Cell-Con, Inc. has introduced commercial grade battery chargers specifically designed and dedicated for LiFePO4 batteries. "Most of our high-grade chargers are UL approved, in stock, and ready to ship," said Steve Fricker, president of Cell-Con, Inc. "Feedback from OEM's and engineers made it clear to us that they need to reduce time to market or complete their prototypes faster, and by having many UL approved Li-Ion, NiMH, LFP and Lead Acid commercial grade chargers on-hand, we help make this possible." Gene Kiley, CEO of Cell-Con said, "We now offer a full line of dedicated LFP chargers that complement our custom battery packs as well as our 'drop-in LiFePO4 replacement battery program,' an effort developed to upgrade many sealed lead acid (SLA) applications with lithium iron phosphate batteries." 20 Battery Power * Winter 2014 OutBack Power Technologies, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of advanced power electronics for renewable energy, backup power and mobile applications, has announced the grid-interactive Radian series GS4048A and the GS3548E inverter/chargers, which give qualified installers the ability to suit residential, industrial and commercial off-grid and grid connected applications throughout the world. Expanding the range of the GS8048 and GS7048E 8 kW and 7 kW Radian series family, the 4 kW and 3.5 kW inverters deliver power, value and flexibility to installers, and enable end users to reduce costs and increase reliability through grid-interactive renewable energy systems. The newest Radian sizes address installer needs to suit varying voltage standards and electrical load requirements in emerging countries, and provide advanced grid management options for those regions that may not support full grid-interactive operation. OutBack Power's grid-interactive technologies offset utility costs when the grid is up and deliver reliable power when utilities are down. The Radian Series GS4048A and GS3548E give distributors the ability to stock two inverter/charger models and www.BatteryPowerOnline.com http://www.BatteryPowerOnline.com
