Better Battery Management

Economic and Environmental Challenges

The cost of lead and other raw materials used in the construction of industrial batteries is increasing rapidly as evolving nations are shifting to market economies and increasing consumerism.

Well-managed companies are focusing on cost reduction to offset ever rising costs as these evolving nations compete for the limited supply of raw materials. In addition, “green” initiatives are challenging companies to significantly cut utility usage.

Critical Battery Issues

These battery maintenance problems can be reduced or eliminated with a controlled battery management program:

• Short run times
• Multiple battery changes
• Cell problems from specific gravity to plate sulfation
• Shortened battery life
• Forklift maintenance expenses resulting from low voltage
• Unused warranty dollars
• Cannibalization of viable energy still left in the battery
• Electricity waste by chargers trying to charge weakened batteries
• Quick-charge systems that depend on fewer batteries to be used in a controlled environment

Better Management

Skillful battery management can reduce the cost of operations by incorporating a well-designed preventative maintenance program to reduce down-time and extend the life of motive batteries. The time required for routine maintenance can be reduced from hours to minutes per battery by the use of automated battery analyzers.

The MCBA Battery Analyzer is the ONLY automated analyzer system devoted to motive batteries. You can:

• Automate 90% of preventative maintenance testing with an MCBA Battery Analyzer
• Accomplish a detailed capacity test in 3 to 6 hours with less than 10 minutes of set-up time
• Obtain full testing records and complete reporting capability
