Stories From The Field: Real Stories From Real ALTEN Customers

This super insulated mobile power center is heading to Yukon, a Canadian Territory and neighbor to Alaska. A solar panel and wind turbine on the trailer is backed up by ALTEN's DC generator to recharge batteries powering critical communications systems. ALTEN's RMS (remote monitoring system) allows operators to monitor via a satellite internet link. All aspects of the DC power system including ALTEN's DC generator vitals are monitored and controlled from your computer, anywhere in the world.

System reliability is a critical design criterion for equipment in remote locations. Equipment failure and servicing are significant issues. ALTEN Battery Chargers provides years of trouble free service.

Floatograph Technologies LLC use ALTEN DC generators as a reliable and efficient backup battery charger for communications on wheels (COW). Power from solar panels and a wind turbine are backed up by ALTEN's DC generator to keep critical communications systems operation for extended periods. ALTEN's RMS (remote monitoring system) can connect operators to monitor the trailer via a satellite link. All aspects of the DC power platform including ALTEN's DC generator vitals are monitored and controlled from a computer, anywhere in the world.

System reliability is a critical design criterion for equipment in remote locations. Equipment failure and servicing are significant issues. ALTEN Battery Chargers provides years of trouble free service.

Solar panels combined with batteries are commonly used to power roadway lighting, message boards and other signage. Cloudy days, shading and accumulations of dirt and snow greatly reduce the power output from solar panels. Repeated discharging will shorten a batteries life quickly and creates a safety hazard for workers and travelers. Keeping batteries fully charged is the easiest way to get the maximum life from your battery investment.

As a single backup recharging system, ALTEN Battery Chargers quickly and safely recharge batteries in the field versus switching out flat batteries or changing out equipment. An AC generator with a plug-in battery charger can take more time, uses more fuel, creates more emissions and noise. A safe, fully regulated supply of DC current flows easily to power both the equipment and recharge batteries, simultaneously and seamlessly.

Powered by the famous Honda GX gas engine, ALTEN Battery Chargers provides years of trouble free service and are built to take the abuse in the field.

Living off the grid has many rewards as it has challenges. Renewable energy with battery storage and an ALTEN DC generator is an efficient, cost effective off grid solution. Alternate energy equipment and battery banks tend to be oversized to bridge energy shortfalls on cloudy or calm days. ALTEN Battery Chargers will seamlessly and efficiently bridge energy gaps to keep batteries fully charged.

Expensive and complicated transfer equipment are not required when using an ALTEN DC generator, unlike AC generator systems. ALTEN's intelligent digital battery monitoring packages automatically initiates battery recharging only when it is required. Clean DC energy flows directly and safely to power loads and recharges batteries, simultaneously and seamlessly.

Engineering electrical systems for a sea going tug boat must allow for multiple layers of protection, control and redundancy. All systems must pass rigorous standards such as ABS Rules for Vessels under 200 feet along with many other agency requirements from around the world.

ALTEN DC generators provide a simple, cost effective backup DC power supply and battery recharging package for critical on board communication and navigation systems. ALTEN DC generators provides an extra layer of battery charging redundancy that could help avoid a potential disaster onboard or for another vessel in distress.

Equipment breaking down is a key concern for construction companies, reducing the downtime is critical to keep operations on schedule.

There is another issue that is largely overlooked. A discharged battery produces an internal chemical reaction called "sulfation". The longer a battery remains discharged, the inside lead plates of the batteries are being eaten away, shortening the batteries useful life. Keeping batteries fully charged between projects will ensure maximum life out from your battery investment.

No need to waste fuel and time running large engines to maintain batteries. Idle machinery can have their batteries quickly recharged with a portable ALTEN Battery Charger. Powered by the famous Honda GX engines, ALTEN Battery Chargers will provide years of trouble free service and are built to take the abuse in the field.

Electronic eyes and ears must operate in total silence to evade the notice of illegal visitors, smugglers and invading adversaries. Remote area surveillance systems have large batteries to power electronic equipment during nighttime operations and must be recharged during daylight hours when it is safe to patrol borders and secure perimeters.

ALTEN's rugged design with intelligent battery monitoring systems automatically initiates generator run cycles to power DC loads and keep critical batteries fully charged. Highly efficient ALTEN DC generators provide significant fuels savings, reduced maintenance and longer equipment life cycles versus AC generators. Hybrid DC systems using solar and wind generator can provide even greater efficiencies.

ALTEN Battery Chargers, Portable DC Power in a Lightweight Package

Large and small towing rigs are equipped with specialized electrical, electronic and communication systems. The last thing any operator needs to worry about is causing damage their own towing rig to boost or recharge batteries on other equipment.

ALTEN Battery Chargers are powerful battery chargers, starting a 26 lbs. and can easily be carried to a flat battery instead of dragging long heavy cables through the mud. Powered by the famous Honda GX gas or the Hatz air cooled diesel engines, safe and reliable 12 or 24 Volt models are available.

Sullivan Towing, a three generation family business, often must work in rough weather conditions, they rely on their equipment and tools to perform. ALTEN Battery Chargers like the Sullivan’s are always ready to perform, quickly and safely.
