Traction batteries are designed for special applications and form a system together with their charger. The operation of your vehicle and maximum life of your battery can be ensured only when this system is working in perfect harmony.

So that you may always be offered the very best system, HOPPECKE has designed and developed the new trak^® power mini range in the ultra-modern facilities of HOPPECKE Technologies in Germany.

The trak^® power mini HF charger range has been specially developed for smaller industrial trucks, electric lift trucks, order pickers, lifting and work platforms, and cleaning machines. This range may be used with all traction batteries currently on the market and guarantees optimal charging in the HOPPECKE trak^® basic and trak^® bloc systems.

Thanks to HOPPECKE HF technology and when compared with conventional systems, the trak^® power mini has the lowest energy consumption with minimal losses, and therefore gives the best energy efficiency. These especially energy-saving chargers merit a top spot on the rating scale for energy consumption, comparable to efficiency class 1A.

• Modular charger design
  The trak^® power mini comprises one to four power modules, which may be retrofitted at any time, to increase the rating of the charger (12V to 48V and 5 to 60A).
  • Good flexibility: the charger may be adapted at any time to the circumstances in operation on site
  • Maximum possible operating reliability as compared with standard chargers – faults do not lead to failure

• Power LEDs
  Power LEDs make it possible to read the state of charge of the battery from a greater distance.
  • Fast and clear information in the charging station

• Compact and lightweight design
  This single-phase charger has a compact and lightweight design. The lower volume and weight make wall mounting possible. Shelf installation is also an option. The bracket for shelf mounting and the rear panel holes for wall mounting are available as standard features.
  • Optimal use of space in the charging station
    All chargers in the range have been tested to the current EMV standard. Each individual module is given additional protection by primary fuses.
  • Enhanced operating reliability

• Standard equipment:
  • PFC functionProgrammable external chip
  • Complete plug-in mains and charging cable
  • Device for wall and rack mounting
  • Large LED display
  • Stop button
• Optional equipment features:
  • Charging plug connector
  • Steel underframe for easy and rapid installation and reduction of contamination
  • Special charging characteristic to reduce charging times
  • Dust filter for operation in dusty environments

• Controlled and adjustable HF charging technology
  The controlled HF charging system with automatic correction of possible mains power fluctuations of +/- 15% rules out insufficient charging or damage (or overcharging) due to mains power fluctuations.
  • Enhanced operating reliability
  • Gentle and optimal charging of the battery

• Controlled power factor correction
  Thanks to the HF technology with controlled power factor correction – integrated PFC function – only effective power is drawn from the mains.
  • Lower electrical installation costs
  • Lower energy costs, since there are no additional costs for power factor correction

• Primary-cycled HF charging technology
  The cycled high-frequency charging system leads to an improvement of electrical efficient to over 92%.
  • Energy saving and reduction of costs by around 12% at each charging operation as compared with conventional chargers

• May be used with all types of battery
  trak^® power mini may be used to charge all types of battery: lead-acid, AGM/lead gel, nickelcadmium, nickel-metal hydride. Just change the chip installed in the front panel.
  • Freedom to decide on type of battery purchased
  • High level of flexibility in operation

• Ampere-hour balanced charging process
  The ampere-hour balance charging process allows charging with different characteristics as for example PUIoU, IUIa, IU or
  • Perfect harmonisation with all battery types

• Intelligent charging electronic
  Thanks to the charging electronics used, after mains power failure the charging curve is automatically adapted to the actual state of charge of the battery.
  • More reliable operation without monitoring

• Automatic start and stop
  With its controlled automatic charging feature, the charger starts and stops automatically. If required, the charging process may be interrupted by using the stop button on the front panel.
  • Easy to operate

• Microprocessor-controlled charging electro nics The microprocessor-controlled charging electronics of the trak^® power mini may be programmed by plugging in an external chip.
  • Constant ease of updating
  • No specialist skills required

• Equipment cooling Equipment cooling is ensured through a temperature- and output-controlled fan.
  • Reliable operation, even at high ambient temperatures
