Battery types
Two types of batteries can be used to power the S200 series trucks: Freely venti-
lated batteries (lead-acid) available in all sizes, and ventilated batteries (GEL bat-
teries). The available valve-regulated batteries are manufactured by Hawker (GEL
Evolution) and in medium and large size.
Feature
The customer can choose between different battery types
Freely ventilated batteries – provide high energy capacity, require maintenance
by replenishing water, generate oxy-hydrogen gas during charging, have lower
price compared to valve-regulated batteries.
Valve-regulated batteries – have lower energy capacity compared to freely ven-
tilated batteries, are more expensive, do not require water replenishment, present
no risk of leaking electrolyte, generate almost no oxy-hydrogen gas during char-
ging, require a regulated charger (see the chapter on chargers).
Benet
The customer can choose the battery that is best suited for the application.
In case the customer puts priority on high energy capacity at a low price, then
freely ventilated batteries is the obvious choice.
If the customer instead wants a battery that does not require special charging
rooms and maintenance, the valve-regulated batteries can be recommended.
