3. Visit YUASA's battery plant,
You do realise that Yuasa only makes the cells, the actually battery system is made by other companies and the Yuasa cells are the only part of that system, so far, shown to be functioning correctly with no known issues.
Securaplane assemble the cells into a battery and provide the technology that prevent it going into overload -
Designed for rapid operator payback, Securaplane's main ship battery chargers significantly reduce battery and charger maintenance while eliminating the guess work of identifying and solving battery/charger problems. Our battery chargers are capable of charging various battery chemistries including NiCad, lead-acid and lithium. Our new, innovative battery chargers use advanced DC to DC conversion technology, patented charging algorithms, comprehensive diagnostics and fault isolation. The latest application of Securaplane's battery charger is for charging and managing the Boeing 787 main ship lithium battery used for APU start and electrical system support.
Old technology chargers typically gauge the charge time based solely according to the cell voltage. This has led to either over-charging or under-charging the battery, with resulting water loss and increased maintenance. Securaplane has developed a method for accurately detecting the inflection point which has eluded battery experts for years and is critical in reducing an overcharge condition. This patented method of charging ensures that the battery receives the optimum amount of charge for all temperature conditions combined with various battery states of charge.
Innovative Inverter Technologies and Main Ship Battery Chargers for Power Conversion
Lets see, which is more likely to fail? 15 year old technology that is in use in billions of devices or brand new charger that makes it impossible, by design, for batteries to every explode?
