The 184-page catalogue opens with automotive batteries from Bosch, VARTA, Exide, Lucas and Numax, as well as Tesla 12-volt batteries, supported by cross-reference and interchange information. Further sections cover commercial vehicle, vintage, leisure and motorcycle applications, along with specialist, industrial and energy storage system (ESS) markets. The catalogue also includes charging products from Bosch, CTEK and Numax, alongside the Victron Energy range and a selection of solar products and accessories. Technical reference information covers areas including terminal designs and layouts, battery health and safety, and lithium battery handling. The catalogue is available to download from the Veloris website. www.veloris.com CTEK has launched the PRO Series of professional battery chargers and support units. The new range offers a selection of intelligent switch-mode chargers designed to provide stable battery support during diagnostics, software updates, vehicle demonstrations and other activities where modern vehicles place additional demands on their batteries. At the heart of the new range is CTEK’s MODESHIFT technology, which is said to automatically adapt the charger’s operation according to the vehicle’s power requirements. When a vehicle requires additional power, for example during diagnostics, software updates or demonstrations, MODESHIFT provides stable battery support. When those demands stop and the vehicle returns to standby, the system automatically switches to intelligent charging and battery conditioning. This enables the charger to support battery health and keep vehicles ready for use without requiring the operator to manually change between charging and power-supply modes. The result is a more straightforward approach to battery support, helping technicians and vehicle staff keep vehicles ready when they are needed. The PRO 1240 provides a dedicated 12V solution for passenger vehicles and workshop applications, while the PRO 2420 and PRO 2440 provide 24V capability for professional applications including trucks and other heavy-duty commercial vehicles. All three models feature fanless, convection-cooled construction, designed to deliver consistent full-power performance without derating during extended operation. “When developing the next generation of CTEK professional chargers, we spoke extensively with workshops, dealerships and other industry professionals to understand what they needed from a modern battery support and charging solution,” said Per Hultberg, Product Business Owner at CTEK. “The result is the PRO range. By combining switchmode efficiency, MODESHIFT technology and professional-grade durability, we have created a flexible solution that meets the needs of today’s professional environments while simplifying everyday battery support, charging and conditioning.” www.ctek.com Chargers feature innovative battery health support 9HORULV SXEOLVKHV Ꭾ UVW European catalogue
