Battery Service (Contd.):
All Calibre Power UPS engineers are also experts on nearly all of the makes, models and types of battery available. This is essential when it comes to working out parameters such as float voltage levels, temperature compensation, discharge graphs and system autonomy. Getting the most out of your battery is our main aim as most major battery installations are expensive investments!

The Cellcorder may predict when a cell is going to fail but the only true way to confirm the capacity of any battery is through a discharge test to the battery manufacturer's specifications. Most battery service companies choose to perform an offline battery discharge test by opening a battery isolator in the UPS system and connecting the load bank directly onto the battery terminals. This is a completely acceptable way to prove the capacity of the battery. What it does not do however is test all of the cabling and circuits within the UPS system itself.
Calibre Power battery discharges are performed using the output connections of the UPS wherever possible. This then proves that the system as a whole including inverters, cabling and isolators etc. are able to provide battery back up if the mains power is lost.
