THE MILLENNIUM E BATTERY

The Millennium E Battery

The Millennium E History

The Millennium "E" (Eco) was specially designed for use in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics where the theme was going for green. Designed and manufactured by Resurfice Corporation manufacturers of the Olympia Ice Resurfacer product line. This unique design, incorporated a battery powered drive train with independent wheel motors and a full stainless steel chassis and snow bin.

Construction

The stainless steel snow bin and chassis are surrounded with a fiberglass body which helps to greatly reduce the possibility of corrosion, due to battery charging and the harsh working environment within ice arenas, while still providing a sleek design. The sleek body was designed with the advertiser in mind. The ice making conditioner is also constructed primarily of stainless steel along with the stainless steel water tanks and vertical auger housing. The drive train is a twin set of  EnerSys batteries with square tube technology for a true deep cycle. Each wheel is driven by one of four independent AC electric drive motor thru independent solid-state motor controllers. Each motor controller has a self diagnostic trouble shooting code system which is easily viewed by a single flashing light.

Operating

The Millennium "E" battery is simple to use, simple to recharge, simple to maintain and is simply the best battery powered ice resurfacer in the world. From the speed related flood water system to the automatic water shut off filling stations, water usage will be greatly reduced in your facility. The wash water system operates with the touch of one button, if the wash water tank runs low on water the system automatically turns off to protect the systems components from damage. Designed with ease of operation in mind the Millennium "E" battery has simplified operational controls that are conveniently located within easy reach, allowing the operator to make precise blade adjustments during the resurfacing procedure. With our unique design we are afforded a remarkable 14.8' turning radius. The water and snow capacity will allow for back to back cuts on a standard NHL size sheet of ice and will easily handle an Olympic size sheet of ice.

Battery and Charging System

The Millennium "E" battery system is unique in it's own fashion, designed and manufactured by EnerSys with deep cycle in mind. The batteries are built with a square tube design allowing for more surface area within the batteries cells. This allows for a deeper cycle than comparable size battery packs. The batteries are conveniently located behind side body panels and are easily accessed by opening the snow bin. The batteries are watered with the stealth battery watering cart at the completion of a charge. The average time required to fill the batteries with water is less then 5 total minutes. The Millennium "E" has an easy to read battery gauge. A reading of 100 on the battery gauge indicates a full charge. Likewise, a reading of 0 on the battery gauge indicates the batteries are at 20% and ready for recharge. Even if your final resurfacing brings you to zero reading you still have plenty of power to complete the final cut before connecting to the charger. The Millennium "E" will perform 28 plus resurfacings without having to perform an opportunity charge. A standard charge takes roughly 7 to 8 hours to complete and is performed overnight while the facility is closed. By design during the charging process the battery pack is disconnected from the resurfacer to insure that the machine is inoperable during the maintenance process.
