DC-DC CONVERTERS AND BATTERY CHARGERS
CH2 / ZEUS / HERA / ATHENA / POSEIDON traction battery chargers 15–300 A
Country: France · Model: CH2 / ZEUS / HERA / ATHENA / POSEIDON
Chargers for traction batteries of forklifts, stackers and electric vehicles at 12–96 V deliver a current from 15 to 300 A. The line consists of five series, from the compact POSEIDON to the modular high-frequency CH2 of up to 21 kW. The units work with lead-acid and lithium batteries and have an LED or digital panel.

Description
The series are divided by current. POSEIDON gives 15–40 A, ATHENA 60–120 A, HERA 40–200 A, ZEUS 160–250 A, and CH2 50–300 A. The efficiency of POSEIDON exceeds 85%, and of the other series is above 90%, which is noticeable when charging a whole fleet of machines daily. The standard profiles Wa, W0Wa and W0Wp correspond to the classic charging characteristics of lead-acid traction batteries. In CH2 the profiles are programmable, and the CAN/CANopen bus links the charger with the BMS of a lithium-ion battery. The enclosures have an IP20 protection degree and are installed in a dry charging room of the warehouse.
How to choose
First check the battery voltage; the units cover 12–96 V. The current is chosen for the traction battery capacity and the time allowed for charging between shifts. For small stackers and cleaning machines POSEIDON at 15–40 A is enough, for mid-size forklifts ATHENA and HERA are suitable, and large batteries are charged by ZEUS at 160–250 A. Lithium-ion batteries with a CAN BMS require CH2.

FAQ
What is the maximum charging current of the CH2 series?
CH2 delivers 50–300 A at a power of up to 21 kW; it is a high-frequency modular device.
Are these chargers suitable for lithium traction batteries?
Yes, the line works with lead-acid and lithium batteries, and CH2 exchanges data with the BMS over CAN/CANopen.
What do the charging profiles Wa, W0Wa and W0Wp mean?
These are standard charging characteristics of lead-acid traction batteries, which differ in the shape of the current and voltage curve at the charging stages. In CH2 the profiles can be programmed for a specific battery.
What is the efficiency of ZEUS and HERA chargers?
Above 90%, and above 85% for the compact POSEIDON.
What battery voltage are ZEUS and POSEIDON chargers rated for?
The whole line is rated for traction batteries from 12 to 96 V, and the enclosures have an IP20 protection degree.
