If you are responsible for power provision at your organisation then there are a number of issues you must address. How can you maximise the life cycle of your batteries without threatening serviceability? The problem for facilities managers is that batteries die. The question is not will these batteries fail, but when. Replacing batteries on an emergency-call out basis, because of lack of life expectancy information, coupled with lack of sufficient replacement systems is an extremely costly way to manage your power provision. More and more organisations that rely on standby batteries for back up power realise that proactive and consistent testing of their systems is an essential cost effective power assurance approach. This requires ongoing maintenance including detailed testing down to individual battery cell level. Having an in-company employee technician carry out unit testing and then simply store test data, increases your manpower costs and does little for forecasting anticipated failure or assisting in predicting replacement needs. Implementing a standardised testing and maintenance programme including tracking batteries from life cycle initiation through its disposal phase enables your organisation to maximise life cycle, decrease non-scheduled outages and improve Return On Investment. The overall benefits of outsourcing your battery maintenance programme, is a reduction in the guesswork and an ability for companies to reduce their battery replacement costs by scheduled replacement of necessary batteries only, whilst ensuring reliable power provision. By outsourcing this crucial function to source engineering you can be sure of complete peace of mind.
