Galvion releases upgraded MAX-8 Mission Adaptive Charging Station

Galvion’s Mission Adaptive Charging Station evolves into the new MAX-8. On July 31, the company unveiled the new upgrades, including power supply increase from 280W to 480W, power output increase from 400W to 1000W, battery charger output increase from 5.0 Amps to 8.0 Amps, and a relocated USB-B port that enables firmware upgrades in less than one minute. Improvements respond to the constantly growing needs of civil and military operators for quick recharge and flexibility. Hence, the MAX-8 can draw power from multiple sources, including solar and vehicle, and to charge different types of batteries simultaneously – with no setting changes needed. Furthermore, the intelligent plug-and-play power management system automatically evaluates the power source and adjusts charge rates to maximize power and minimize charge time.

Kristen Lomastro, President of Active Systems at Galvion, underlined that “the upgrades to the MAX-8 are a direct result of feedback from Galvion customers operating in austere and challenging conditions around the world. They wanted more charging power and performance, without sacrificing the ease-of-use and ruggedness of the original design.  We responded with a solution that charges batteries more quickly and efficiently than before.”

In effect, the MAX-8 is certified to meet or exceed a range of standards, including the standards for the CE Mark, CISPR 11 Class A and FCC part 15 Class A, Radiated and Conducted Emissions standard, MIL-STD-810H, HERO, HERP, HERF Compliance and MIL-STD-1275 with a NATO slave cable.

Galvion’s products are already popular among troops in the world, including the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, NATO Forces, and first responder teams, as well as diverse civil operators.
