Purkeys Offers Faster 100-Amp Charger

Electrical parts supplier Purkeys has developed the 100-amp Pack Accelerated Charger to safely charge batteries in nearly half the time of other chargers, the company announced.

The charger has the ability to charge up to eight batteries simultaneously without removing them from the vehicle. Because it is a 100-amp continuous charger, it decreases recharge time, which can be especially nice during winter, the Lowell, Arkansas-based company said.

The charger is compatible with Absorbed Glass Mat lead-acid batteries and flooded cell batteries, the company said. It also shows how long it will take batteries to charge, based on voltage and number of batteries being charged.
