Industrial Batteries

3 Enemies of a Battery •Cycling

• Reduces battery life by 40-50%• 5 yr battery→2-3 yr battery

•Heat• Even greater impact on life• 5 yr battery→1-2 yr battery

•Cold• Affects battery capacity • 7 day → 4 day battery

• Dynamic system controls• Environmental controls• Charge Regulation• Power conditioning & distribution• Remote monitoring & alarm • Analytics

System Controller, the Brains of the Operation:

SOLS Best Practices

Experience Required: for proper design &

installation

Industrial Batteries

Environmental Protection:

reduces O&M costs, enhances reliability

Systems Controls with Analytics
