A new series of SP high frequency (HF) chargers have been installed by Exide Technologies on the self-drive boats at LEGOLAND Windsor, UK.
Exide Technologies has provided the monobloc batteries - which are also commonly found in cars, golf caddies and cleaning machines - for the 30 popular boats for more than 14 years.
The new high frequency chargers will ensure that charging costs are reduced and that the batteries use is fully optimised.
Steve Hainge, ride maintenance manager at LEGOLAND Windsor said: "It's not just children that ride in the boats; we often have two adults and a child in a boat, which can be in use for 10 hours a day - so we have to be sure that the batteries can cope. In addition, HF chargers can also provide considerable financial savings due to improved power conversion and lower energy costs - a positive step in reducing carbon emissions."
