How do mean Maintaining Fleet Batteries ? How do mean Maintaining Fleet Batteries ?
Unlike individual
battery users, who come to know their batteries like a good friend, fleet users must share the batteries from a pool of unknown packs. While an individual user can detect even a slight reduction in runtime, fleet operators have no way of knowing the behavior or condition of the battery when pulling it from the charger. They are at the mercy of the battery. It's almost like playing roulette. It is recommended that fleet
battery users set up a battery maintenance program. Such a plan exercises all batteries on a regular basis, reconditions those that fall below a set target capacity and 'weeds out' the deadwood. Usually, batteries get serviced only when they no longer hold a charge or when the equipment is sent in for repair. As a result,
battery-operated equipment becomes unreliable and battery-related failures often occur. The loss of adequate
battery power is as detrimental as any other malfunction in the system. Implementing a
battery maintenance plan requires an effort by management to schedule the required service for the battery packs. This should become an integral component of an organization's overall equipment maintenance and repair activities. A properly managed program improves
battery performance, enhances reliability and cuts replacement costs.
