ABOUT MICROPOWER

PRODUCTS

Micropower´s products are found in many countries around the world.

The product range consists of both conventional chargers and high-frequency chargers.

We collaborate with most battery manufacturers in developing optimal chargers for their different batteries.

Besides our standard range, we develop chargers in small series for special applications. Our specialty is chargers for AGV systems, but we also make chargers for the most diverse areas, such as an amusement park in Japan, a gold mine in China and a shrimp trawler in the North Sea. We also have chargers for military use.

The chargers can be used for practically any brands, types or sizes of battery. The entire product range is CE-marked and some types are UL-marked.

DEVELOPMENT

The Micropower-group maintains two research and development centres; one in Växjö and one in Salo, Finland. At these centres, chargers and charging specifications are developed and tested by experienced engineers.

In both locations, EMC measurements can be conducted, and in Växjö there are also facilities for testing the chargers in different environments, such as cold, heat, damp and different voltages and frequencies.

Both of the development centres continually conduct tests of different batteries and different charger brands. We do this so that you the customer can be assured that you have access to the latest operational technology.

MANUFACTURE

The Micropower-group includes two production companies - Smålands Elektronik Industri AB and Powerfinn Oy.

The Micropower-group has over 10.000 m² of production and storage space at its disposal in Växjö and 2.000m² in Salo, Finland.

We manufacture transformers and choke coils ourselves at Smålands Elektronik Industri AB. Here we also produce all our winded units to our conventional (50 – 60Hz) chargers. Some of our winded units for our high frequency units are also produced here. SEIAB has an electronics department with new, modern SMD assembly equipment, a wave soldering machine and an automatic potting machine used for manufacturing of IP 65 chargers. In the assembly hall, qualified personnel manufacture Micropower’s chargers, which after final testing are delivered to Micropower’s warehouse.

Powerfinn Oy develops and manufactures high-frequency chargers, most of which are microprocessor controlled. Powerfinn also has modern SMD assembly equipment. Since we have full control of the manufacturing process, we can offer products of high quality.

Every year we ship more than 400 000 battery chargers and power supply units

We have approx. one month’s production of the more common types of chargers in stock, which makes for short delivery times.
