Overview

Available in a wide range of customer-specified currents and voltages, Bitrode’s model CRN is an excellent solution for container charging of multiple battery strings and tackless formation of automobile and industrial plates. Multiple circuits can easily be packaged in a single cabinet for container formation applications or single high current modules can be built for tank formation use. The CRN features modular construction and easy access front and rear panels for ease of maintenance and service.
