The Advanced Battery Processing System (ABPS) family of chargers is the most recent in our family of electronic support equipment.  Modular, flexible, reliable and inherently silver zinc aware, these chargers allow for easy adaptation to any silver zinc battery application.  This family of chargers has demonstrated its reliability during its recent years of field operation and has dramatically reduced manpower costs associated with battery handling.  Flexibility is exemplified by the ease in which operational procedures can be modified on a real time basis without programming knowledge.  Its modular nature is demonstrated by the ease in which the number of stations can be changed to suit customer requirements.  Charge cut-off is accomplished on an individual cell basis utilizing one active shunt regulator per cell  This method ensures repeatable and fully programmable individual cell cut-offs without any battery handling, manual cell jumpering or disassembly.  Depending on need, the charger can be modified to incorporate a discharge capability.
