Descriptions

KEEPING TOOLS CHARGED IS A CHALLENGE

  • MORE ELECTRIFICATION MEANS MORE BATTERIES, MORE CHARGERS.
  • ELECTRICAL LOAD REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT CONSIDERED WHEN BUYING TOOLS.
    • MOST TOOL MANUFACTURERS DO NOT EVEN PUBLISH REQUIRED INPUT POWER (WATTS).
  • SHORE POWER IS LIMITED.
  • TOOL UPGRADES TO BATTERY POWER SHOULD INCLUDE APPARATUS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UPGRADE.

WHAT’S THE POINT?

  • MOST BATTERY TOOLS ARE PLUGGED INTO AC OUTLETS WHICH ARE ONLY LIVE WHEN APPARATUS IS PLUGGED I NTO SHORE POWER.
    • DEPARTMENTS OFTEN HAVE <1 HOUR OF “CHARGE TIME” BETWEEN CALLS
    • COMMON BATTERY PACKS IN FIRE SERVICE REQUIRE >3 HOURS TO CHARGE
    • MAINTAINING FULL CHARGE OF ALL PACKS IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT AS MORE BATTERY TOOLS ARE ACQUIRED.
  • INSTEAD OF LIMITING TOOL RECHARGE TO SHORT IN-STATION TIME, SETUP CONTINUOUS ONBOARD AC TO SPREAD LOAD THROUGHOUT DAY.

WHY APPARATUS CAN’T PROVIDE ENOUGH CHARGING POWER

Most fire apparatus are built with low-voltage electrical systems (12V) to power basic equipment (i.e. lights, low power chargers).

As more battery tools are acquired, the apparatus electrical system must be capable of charging tool batteries fast enough to stay fully charged and in service.

 

 

WHAT IS A KRAKEN POWER CHARGING HUB?

  • CHARGING HUBS PROVIDE CONTINUOUS ONBOARD AC POWER, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CHARGE EVERYTHING IN THE SHORT TIME THE APPARATUS IS PLUGGED INTO SHORE POWER.
    • BATTERY TOOL CHARGING HUBS HELP TO SPREAD THE LOAD OF TOOL CHARGING OVER TIME, STARTING WHEN THE DEPLETED BATTERY IS PLACED ON ITS CHARGER.
  • STORE ENERGY AND TAKE IT WITH YOU.
    • CHARGE TOOL BATTERIES CONTINUOUSLY, FROM INVERTER AND LITHIUM BATTERY BANK.
      DEDICATE SHORE POWER TO RECHARGING TRUCK BATTERIES.
