GUEST EXPANDS FAMILY OF PORTABLE BATTERY CHARGERS/MAINTAINERS
18th January 2006
Two New Models and All-New Look and Packaging Introduced for Industry’s Premier Solution for Charging and Maintaining Batteries Without Overcharging.
Battery management technology leader Guest has revamped its line of 12/24-volt portable chargers/maintainers for 2006, with two new models, a new look and new retail packaging for the line. Guest now offers eight models ranging from .75 to 10 Amps to cover a wide variety of applications and battery management needs for boats and
personal watercraft. Two Guest models are new for 2006, including the .75-Amp Model 2601 12-volt Battery Maintainer. Designed to keep a charged battery in peak condition during long periods of storage, this model is ideal for maintaining a single
battery in a trailerable boat or jet ski over the winter months.
The second new unit, Model 26015-12, is a 1.25-Amp charger/maintainer that can bring a single 12-volt battery back to full state of charge, then electronically switch to a maintenance stage to keep the battery ready for action indefinitely without risk of overcharging.
These new additions bring the Guest portable charger/maintainer line-up to a total of six models designed for use with single 12-volt batteries, while two models are offered for 24-volt systems. Each model (except Model 2601) is enclosed in an epoxy-potted case for durability and resistance to impact and caustic chemicals or gasses. Model
2601 is not potted because it is designed for use with vessels stored indoors.
To go along with the new exterior graphics on each product, Guest has designed all-new retail packaging. Each product is enclosed in clear clamshell packaging for easy pegboard display, with bold new graphics and colors that catch the eye and clearly explain the application and benefits of each unit to consumers. Each model is engineered to handle input power fluctuations between 100 and 130 VAC, and is protected from
short circuit, overload and reverse polarity. Both 12- and 24-volt models are engineered for use with flooded, AGM or gel cell batteries. All Guest portable battery chargers/maintainers are backed by the company’s reputation for quality and 2-year limited warranty.
