Chargers

High performance battery management and power solutions

Lincad’s range of heavy-duty rugged military chargers has been designed to meet a variety of battery management needs and power solutions
Our chargers have predominantly been used within the military/defence sector but in more recent years we have developed chargers for commercial applications. Lincad’s chargers and conditioners can be used with any battery type ranging from 3-58V, regardless of battery manufacturer.

The Fleet 2812 is a compact, lightweight 28V DC, 1200 W power supply designed to run from universal AC mains. Rugged and versatile, it satisfies front line military operating requirements for equipment requiring a 28V DC input.

Originally designed for the BPMS Mk2 which has its own internal charger, the Fleet 2812 does not have the current control for charging a battery directly.

The SquadNet Charger is a 12-channel charger designed specifically for Thales’ SquadNet radio batteries. The batteries lock into the charger using the same mechanism as they lock onto the radios. Charging is fully automatic, with LED indicators providing state of charge information.

Whilst the SquadNet battery can be charged on the radio via USB, the SquadNet Charger allows charging of multiple batteries separately from the radio. This eliminates radio downtime during the battery charging process.

The Caravel Mk2 is Lincad’s first multi-chemistry charger and incorporates the very latest in battery charger technology and design. It offers charging of lithium-ion (Li-ion) and other battery types from any original equipment manufacturer via battery interface adaptors (BIAs).

It features a transport mode to prepare Li-ion batteries to less than 30% state of charge for air transport in line with IATA regulations, and a storage mode to prepare Li-ion batteries to 50% state of charge for long-term storage. It also includes twin USB ports for charging mobile devices.

The Armada is a six-channel multi-chemistry charger/conditioner designed for the state of charge management of lithium-ion (Li-ion) and other battery types from any original equipment manufacturer. It is an efficient fleet management tool for anyone involved in the transport and storage of batteries.

Designed for absolute simplicity of operation, each channel features a transport mode to prepare Li-ion batteries to less than 30% state of charge for air transport in line with IATA regulations, and a storage mode to prepare Li-ion batteries to 50% state of charge for long-term storage. State of charge information for each channel is provided by an LED indicator display.

The Point of Sale (PoS) Multi-Dock Charger is a 20-channel charger for the batteries that power industry-leading PAX A920 and PAX A920 PRO PoS terminals used for mobile payments.

PoS terminals are used across the world in the hospitality, retail, transport, and delivery sectors. Whilst PAX A920 and PAX A920 PRO batteries can be charged on the PoS terminals, the PoS Multi-Dock Charger allows charging of multiple batteries separately from the device. This eliminates PoS terminal downtime during the battery charging process, improving the efficiency of mobile payment operations.
