Founded in May 1996, Advanced Charger Technology, Inc.(ACT), is a Florida-based company that develops charging solutions thatimprove the performance of any battery-powered device. ACT was co-founded by Yury Podrazhansky, a Russian immigrant who came to the U.S.in 1978, who developed this technology after becoming frustrated withbuying batteries for his son's toys. Initially he thought that thebatteries were the problem, but soon realized that it was actually thebattery chargers that caused them to fail prematurely. Armed with aunique knowledge of electrochemistry and a desire to solve a problem,Yury developed a breakthrough in battery charging technology. From hisinitial work and first patent filing in 1988, Yury has expanded andperfected this battery charging technology to effectively work withNickel Cadmium (NiCD), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) and Lead Acid chemistries. ACT currently holds five U.S. andnumerous worldwide patents to protect the proprietary enrev chargingtechnology.
Prior to ACT, Yury’s technology was utilized by EPTI, a leader in theelectric vehicle charging market. In 1994, EPTI set the world recordfor the longest distance traveled by an electric vehicle with theworld’s fastest charge – and the record still stands today! Two yearslater, Yury teamed up with Karen Robinson to found ACT Corporation theworld leader in the development of battery operating systems andchargers for battery-operated devices.
