How MCBA Automated Battery Testing Saves Money
The MCBA Battery Analyzer is the ONLY automated motive battery testing system. It provides simple, accurate testing for battery performance and efficiency.

| Improve Run Times | If your batteries are sized properly for their workload applications, you should expect to consistently receive the output you bargained for. But do you usually fall two or three hours short and continually change-out batteries, or equipment, to stay up and running? |
| Reduce Multiple Battery Changes | If you perform an extra 15 to 20 changes per day (due to short run times), six days per week, lose 14 minutes on each change (workstation to charger and back) at an overhead burden of $23 per hour, that equals $25,000/$30,000 per year...or more. This doesn’t even include the costs of having the carrier loads delayed, with the ripple costs involved there. Would you be satisfied to have a car that demanded gasoline every 100 to 150 miles? |
| Identify Cell Problems Early | These can range from specific gravity to plate sulfation, watering and manufacturing defects. Unidentified weak cells lead to some big problems, which can spread to other cells and eventually the entire battery. |
| Extend Battery Life | Some users actually expect to receive only the minimum life from a battery (as guaranteed in their manufacturer’s warranty). Most of us expect a lot more years of good steady runtime and life from the purchases in our personal lives; why not on the job too? |
| Prevent Electrical Vehicle Damage | Low voltage can damage brushes, motors and condensers. Maintenance costs escalate. Need I say more? Big expense, and much time and labor are expended needlessly. |
| Use Warranty Dollars | You are guaranteed at least 80 percent battery capacity for the life of the battery warranty. Are you getting it? Are some cells weak? How can you tell? Millions of dollars go unused every year in wasted warranties. |
| Increase Battery Cannibalization | You shouldn’t discard the viable energy still left in the battery. If your nearly-dead battery is getting some runtime, it probably has a few good cells. Don’t overlook this golden opportunity. |
| Reduce Electricity | This is a huge waste if chargers are continually trying to charge weakened batteries. The chargers are one of your largest consumers of power, especially if not converting DC power to an efficient battery. |
| Better Management for Opportunity-Charge Systems | With these sophisticated specially designed systems, you charge the battery while still in the vehicle (i.e. not changed). So the same battery is used for the first, second, and third shifts. This means that a 3-year-old battery can have the equivalent usage of a 9-year-old battery. With fewer batteries in inventory, you will rely much more on each individual battery to do its job to the maximum. |
