Aquamatic system

Our optional aquamatic top-up system is a battery water filling system that reduces service costs by replacing the need to manually fill traction cells. When installed, water flows through tubes which are connected to the battery’s aquamatic plugs in series. Built in floats stop the water flow when the electrolyte reaches the correct level preventing overfilling, spillage or underfilling.

Advantages

Quick, safe and clean refilling
Reduction in labour costs
Faster filling times
Safer – preventing overfilling and acid splash
Controlled maintenance ensures maximum battery life
Saves water by minimising loss
Reduces the contamination risk associated with manual filling

Air-Mix system

By pumping air into the base of a cell, our optional Air-Mix system enhances electrolyte mixing reducing the risk of stratification and premature battery failure. The system also aids cell cooling during charging, which helps to reduce charging times.
