Battery conductance is a rapid and repeatable electrical measurement that determines the ability of a battery to transmit current readily through its internal electro-chemical structure. It provides a direct relationship to battery power parameters.

When many of us in the battery industry think about uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, or really backup power in general, our minds tend to go straight to the data center. It’s true that UPS systems are a vital piece of the data center puzzle; and data centers are popping up all over the world on a continual basis.

Your Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system is the heart of your backup power. Battery failures account for more than half of all UPS failures. This is why regular maintenance of these batteries is critical to ensure backup power is ready when needed.

The aging grid infrastructure, increased power consumption and increasingly unpredictable weather conditions have made power outages a more common occurrence. In order to better regulate these systems within health care facilities, The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) established stringent requirements for generator and standby power system testing.

Continuing our series of critical power needs beyond the data center, which we typically think of when discussing uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, this month we are going to focus on the healthcare industry.

A conductance baseline reference value is a benchmark value based on data collected from known good batteries. Reference values provide an estimate of where a reading should be, although they are not absolute. The trending of actual measurements is the best method of interpreting conductance measurements.

Not all batteries are made equal. Did you know every battery type serves a specific functionality? The two main battery types are stationary batteries and “starting” batteries. It is very important that you find the correct battery for your particular application, as the wrong choice can affect both the battery’s efficiency as well as its lifespan.

Fork trucks play an often invisible, but critical role in today’s e-commerce driven economy. However, these workhorses are only as capable as the batteries that power them, and those batteries can be something of an enigma for the distribution center manager and the material handler alike.
