Designed to mobilize and power devices such as desktop barcode printers, laptops, and tablets, the PowerSwap Nucleus MINI lithium power system from Newcastle Systems (Haverhill, MA) can be mounted to picking and non-powered industrial carts or paired with Newcastle’s EcoCart mobile workstations to provide 4 hours to 8 hours of AC power.
With a five-to-seven-year service life, the 11-lbs. swappable battery offers an affordable and convenient alternative to costly cable drops or dangerous extension cords. Employees can easily swap the battery or move it to the charger at the end of a shift.
Popular manufacturing applications include raw materials receiving, quality testing, and finished goods labeling. Adding the battery to a mobile workstation or upgrading an old SLA battery system gives users even more ways to mobilize operations.
The system comes with 1-2 swappable lithium iron phosphate batteries, a PowerDock station with two AC outlets, and a standalone PowerCharge Station. The power output provides a continuous 120 watts and holds a charge for up to 8 hours depending on hardware. Batteries can be charged in about 2.5 hours.
