FAST-CHARGE BATTERIES
Horizon lead-acid batteries can be charged during breaks without removing them from lift trucks. Fast charging eliminates the need for back-up batteries and a battery room. The batteries are maintenance free. Water never needs to be added; terminals never need to be cleaned. The sealed design prevents leakage and corrosion. The batteries are available in 24-, 36-, 48- and 72-volt configurations. EaglePicher Technologies Inc., www.eaglepicher.com, 602-794-9600.
