With the introduction of AS4044:2024 – the new Australian Standard for stationary battery chargers – power system integrators are facing a pivotal shift in expectations around performance, reliability, and compliance.
Intelepower, a division of Century Yuasa, delivers fully engineered direct current (DC) power systems designed to meet the demands of Australia’s most critical infrastructure sectors.
From substations and water treatment facilities to transport and emergency services, compliance is no longer optional – it’s the baseline.
Built for today’s standards
Australian standard AS4044:2024 raises the bar for battery charger design and installation, providing the first significant technical update in over two decades. This standard is now essential for projects where battery charger systems play a role in safety-related or critical operations.
The standard introduces several key requirements:
- Built-in charge control and regulation with compatibility across battery chemistries.
- electromagnetic compliance to minimise electrical interference in sensitive environments.
- Three-phase compatibility and neutral current limitation for enhanced electrical safety.
- Digital instrumentation for improved visibility and system diagnostics.
- Colour-coded cabling and installation guidelines for enhanced serviceability and compliance.
These changes reflect the evolving needs of modern infrastructure – and Intelepower’s systems are already designed to meet them.
Engineered for reliability and compliance
As both a manufacturer and technical integrator, Intelepower works with project engineers to specify and supply fully compliant DC systems tailored to site risk and operational criticality.
Each solution is engineered in line with AS3011, AS2676, AS5139 and now AS4044:2024 — backed by national service, local project support, and a full lifecycle management approach.
For utilities and operators, this reduces risk across multiple touchpoints:
- Assurance of compliance at the point of delivery.
- Seamless installation, commissioning and testing.
- Ongoing support, diagnostics and reporting to support regulatory and operational benchmarks.
Intelepower’s systems are powered by Yuasa batteries and high-performance chargers — engineered for long-term durability in harsh Australian conditions. When compliance, uptime and system longevity matter, nothing is left to chance.
Yuasa’s brand promise – ‘Performance Every Time’ – underpins every system delivered. Together with Intelepower’s technical leadership and national footprint, this makes for a truly end-to-end solution trusted by Australia’s most demanding sectors.
