Railroad & Locomotive Battery Testing
To keep the trains running on time, your engine starters and computers demand clean power on time, every time. Can you be certain that your batteries are getting the attention they deserve?
Why Battery Optimization
In today’s economy, battery optimization is a real opportunity for railroads to improve performance and extend equipment life.
- Mechanical and electronic equipment breakdowns can be traced to problems with battery power.
- Lacking adequate data regarding battery health, railroads actually give up valuable battery life daily, wasting millions of dollars in cost and capacity.
Battery Management Program ROI
An automated battery analysis program using MCBA technology for annual or semi-annual capacity tests can identify failing cells. With battery warranties fully utilized, operational productivity can be dramatically increased.
- Eliminate costly surprises before they damage batteries, electronic and mechanical equipment, and productivity…for about 10 minutes labor per test.
- Validate new batteries and evaluate older battery conditions for more “green” decision making and productive battery charging/changing.
- Take greater advantage of cell cannibalizations from “spent” batteries. Often these are discarded without extracting valuable good cells, worth many thousands of dollars.
How can your operation benefit?
Our customers typically see a return on investment in 8-10 months. Some have said it’s the fastest payback ever for capital equipment.
