Batteries are considered the most critical, yet vulnerable component of the emergency power system. In fact, battery failures are one of the leading root causes of load loss. A comprehensive preventive maintenance program for your emergency power system’s batteries is one of the most cost-effective measures you can take to ensure system reliability and prevent costly downtime.
Features
- Periodic inspections designed to assess battery cell and string state of health are offered monthly, quarterly or annual for all battery types including VRLA, VLA and NiCad
- Battery capacity testing, performed per IEEE standards and manufacturer specifications determines a battery’s ability to provide a reliable power source and support the required load
- Battery charger maintenance includes regular inspections of racks, interconnection cables, cell connectors, and other conductors to ensure your batteries are fully charged and working as intended
Benefits
- Greater emergency power system availability and reliability results from ongoing battery service
- Less unplanned downtime is achieved through regular oversight that resolves potential issues before a failure
- Longer battery service life happens as problems that cause premature aging are avoided or corrected
- Improved battery performance is possible when power systems are optimized through maintenance activities
- Lower total cost of service occurs as maintenance prevents battery performance issues from becoming problems that lead to costly downtime
