BATTERY CAPACITY TESTING in Rochester NY

Do your batteries have the ability to store enough energy for all your operations? As batteries age and store energy, their overall capacity diminishes, which could prove to be insufficient in an emergency power situation. Battery capacity testing is an essential part of battery maintenance. When you have an updated understanding of how much energy your batteries can store, you will be able to plan for when you need to change your batteries. 

Battery Load Testing includes: 

Inspect each battery string to confirm condition for a capacity test
Torque all connections and record resistance readings
Measure and record cell impedances
Perform visual inspection of a battery system
Load test battery using load bank for the desired timeframe
Record readings of each cell every hour during a discharge test
