The Dual Vehicle (DVS) Fast Charging System (Figure 1.1) is an advanced charging system that can quickly and
safely charge industrial batteries.

Charging intelligence is built into the system to make charging extremely simple: just plug in any IPC compatible
battery and the system starts charging it correctly. There is no need to be concerned about which charger is
designed or programmed for which battery. After completing a charge, the system shuts off automatically.
The DVS’s Rapid Charging Intelligence (RCI) makes it capable of charging much more quickly than a conventional
charger without damage to the battery. Battery voltage and temperature are monitored precisely, allowing charging
to be as rapid as possible without exceeding manufacturers' recommendations. The charge history of the pack is
tracked and equalization is automatically performed on the pack according to a pre-set schedule. This results in
better use of the batteries with minimal effort on the user’s part.
