Demonstrating new vehicle models attracts a high level of interest and fills showrooms. This means that customers will be examining your vehicles closely, the main focus being on technical innovations. However, even in mid-range vehicles, the energy requirements of the electronic components are enormous. Just opening the car doors “awakens” various control units from their standby mode and a current of up to 45 A can flow for several minutes. The automatic opening and closing of the boot usually requires between 30 and 50 A. A detailed vehicle presentation can overload the vehicle electronics, causing the battery voltage to sink rapidly to below 12.2 volts. At this point, individual systems in the vehicle electronics will start to switch off automatically. 

To avoid such situations, Fronius Perfect Charging has developed the Acctiva Seller, a battery charging system for starter batteries that has been tailored specifically to the requirements of the showroom. A reliable power supply of up to 30 A is guaranteed during the vehicle demonstration and specially developed software eliminates charging and discharging cycles, thereby protecting the battery. The compact dimensions and user-friendliness ensure smooth operation of the device. The battery charging system also features plug-in charging and mains cables, which can be guided through the smallest openings in the engine compartment or boot. The device itself will remain unnoticed by your customers. The product has been designed for silent operation, allowing an undisturbed and successful vehicle presentation.

Vehicle premieres and presentations present a particular challenge. Countless presentations are held with minimal notice and often take place on several days. The main focus of these presentations is to highlight the technical innovations. Not only does this increase the interest from visitors, it also means the vehicles consume more energy.

This is where the Fronius Acctiva Seller battery charging system comes into its own. The power supply is based on Active Inverter Technology developed by Fronius. This special software eliminates charging and discharging cycles, thus preserving the capacity of the starter batteries. The device is equipped with short-circuit protection, electronic reverse polarity protection, a safety cut-out as well as thermal overload protection, ensuring maximum safety for the vehicle, vehicle electronics and battery. The Acctiva Seller is also extremely energy-efficient and boasts an efficiency level of 96 percent.

In the automotive trade, participation in external advertising campaigns is an essential part of sales activities, be it in pedestrian zones, at events or at automotive trade fairs. If the vehicle presentation is taking place indoors in buildings or exhibition halls, certain legal provisions apply: often the vehicle battery has to be disconnected or, in some cases, the oil even has to be drained. The energy requirements of the vehicle electronics however remain extremely high during these events.

Fronius offers compact and powerful battery charging systems for starter batteries that guarantee a constant and reliable power supply. This prevents a drop in battery voltage and stops individual systems shutting off automatically or ceasing to function. Vehicles that can no longer be started at the end of an event are therefore a thing of the past.

When vehicles go unused for long periods of time, the batteries will self-discharge and ultimately become damaged. The effect of the weather on cars left in the open only serves to exacerbate the problem. Regular battery maintenance is essential to ensure that your vehicles run smoothly during spontaneous vehicle presentations or test drives. Fronius Acctiva battery charging systems can help to conserve the battery charge over the long-term. Battery charging systems with a refresh mode even reduce device sulphation and assist in reactivating deep-discharged batteries.
