Antigravity " One Charger " Super-Charger Strategy

Best known for innovative lithium battery technology, including the award winning ' Re-Start ' built-in Jump-Start feature, Antigravity Batteries of California has introduced a newly engineered range of ' Super-Charger ' battery chargers for use with lead acid( AGM, FLA and Gel) and lithium( Lifepo4 / LFP) battery ranges. Owner, founder and CEO Scott Schafer told AMD that " our Super Charger line is designed to offer modern technological advances and features that are ahead of those currently available in the industry. " Gone are the LED ' dummy lights '- which gave no useful information to the user- instead we went with a large digital screen display that provides accurate real-time information. Showing the real-time voltage and current going into the battery and, critically, a quick-view state of charge function means the user now knows exactly what is going on, immediately." " We wanted to achieve two primary objectives with the Super Chargers. First was to make a charger that can charge any battery in a dealership, service center or workshop( or a customer ' s own home garage)- a genuine ' One Charger ' system- whether it is for motorcycles, powersports vehicles, boats, cars, even trucks and tractors. A system that automatically adapts to any chemistry type- lead / acid, AGM or lithium( LFP / LiFePo4). " The start-point was to build a Super Charging System that had all the features that we ourselves rely on daily while developing and testing our batteries. " For example, micro-chip charging processes, unique ' first-of-a-kind ' new features like the built-in voltage tester, a built-in Battery Management System( BMS) reset function( to wake up Lithium batteries that have gone into protection / sleep mode) as well as all the typical recovery modes for Lead / AGM batteries. So, it really had to ' do it all '. " There are some great chargers available on the market( buyer beware- there are also some awful ones) but, in general, chargers have not evolved as much as they could have done over the past decade, and we wanted to change that. " Many charger brands have not yet fully embraced the opportunities that today ' s available technologies offer. They have not kept pace with the functionality and convenience needed by riders and the dealers they buy from- Voltage Tester, Multi
Chemistry Charging, Digital Screen and the built-in a Lithium Battery BMS re-set feature." Scott says that Antigravity is testing batteries every day- charging and discharging lithium and lead / acid battery chemistries for product development, inventory maintenance, pre-ship testing and for analytics such as testing and checking for warranty issues. " The test bench is our native habitat. Spending so much time on work benches ourselves is what has driven the development and design of our Super Charger architecture.
" We found that we needed a ONE CHARGER strategy and all the features and functionalities we needed to make our work easier. So, if we needed that, then we knew that our approach would also make the lives of motorcycle dealers and their customers easier too," says Scott. " Our job is to make it easy for users to get it right- they simply select the Charger Voltage Test mode, and it automatically shows the voltage of the battery, any battery, live and in real-time, straight away. There and then- no guesswork. " This makes it easy to immediately understand whether the battery is actually dead or fully charged without needing to grab a multi-meter or go to the vehicle to see the voltage in the dash. It can also be used to check voltage sag when a specific accessory is turned on- to see the load they create. In this day and age that is HUGE." Scott thinks that the Antigravity built-in Voltage Tester really is a genuine ' first of its kind ' feature and that being able to immediately understand the battery status is a major productivity tool. So too is the dedicated BMS RE-SET for lithiums- " automatically awakening the battery if it has gone into over-discharge protection mode is another, massive, battery saving productivity enhancer and battery." The slew of additional features( industry standard and otherwise) includes a built-in power supply in the 10-Amp and 4-Amp versions( for powering 12v DC devices and keeping power on during a battery swap etc). Super Chargers can also be used with tire inflators and other 12v devices. The standard SAE Connectors " have economy and convenience stamped all over them " and " excellent feature rich programming " brings features such as prior setting retention, sophisticated battery recovery and desulfation programming, automatic winter charging and automatic charging and maintenance when the battery is left connected to the vehicle for long term maintenance.
