Contingency battery charging system

A system for providing contingency battery power, the system comprising:

• a first truck trailer for transportation of at least a first transportable battery charging station;
• the first transportable battery charging station having one or more battery chargers mounted to a rack structure constructed to fit in the first truck trailer for transportation from a standby location to a deployment location;
• at least a first fixed connector incorporated into the first truck trailer for connecting a power source to a power distribution system of the first truck trailer, wherein the first fixed connector includes an exterior mounted turn-locking connector for connection to an electric power generator outside the first truck trailer;
• and
• at least a second fixed connector incorporated into the first truck trailer for connecting the power distribution system to the one or more battery chargers of the first transportable battery charging station.

A contingency battery charging system, comprising:

• a plurality of trailers for transporting multiple transportable battery charging stations from a standby location to a deployment location, wherein each trailer of the plurality of trailers is equipped with a first fixed connector electrically coupled to wiring inside each trailer, and wherein the wiring inside each trailer is electrically coupled to one or more power output connectors at a dock side portion of each trailer;
• the multiple transportable battery charging stations, each transportable battery charging station having one or more battery chargers and a plurality of battery stands mounted to a rack structure, the one or more battery chargers capable of charging lead-acid batteries;
• a generator trailer for transporting a generator from the standby location to the deployment location;
• power cables to connect the generator to the first fixed connector on each trailer of the plurality of trailers;
• power cables to connect the multiple transportable battery charging stations to the second fixed connector on each trailer of the plurality of trailers;
• charging cables to connect the lead-acid batteries to the one or more battery chargers;
• and
• a battery puller adapter configured to facilitate changing fuel cells in a fleet of industrial vehicles with the lead-acid batteries.
