The Many Ways EBatt Helps You Cut Costs

• Guides Users in Proper Battery Selection and Maintenance

Proper procedures, whether it is maintenance and operation of the family car or maintenance and operation of industrial batteries, helps maximize their useful life. Guided by EBatt, the batteries are selected for use in the lift vehicles in an ordered manner helping to assure more even utilization of your battery inventory. The EBatt system can also notify the operators when to water and/ or wash the batteries based on the number of charge cycles between maintenance tasks. This organized approach to handling your lift vehicles and the associated batteries reduces your operation costs by increasing the efficiency of your lift vehicle fleet.

• Improve Battery Performance

Batteries that are performing at their best will cost you less to operate. Properly maintained batteries need to be exchanged less often. Charging batteries before they reach the recommended 80% discharge level can cause damage to batteries' cells resulting in decreased runtimes and limited battery life. Washing batteries regularly helps prevent acid from damaging the connectors and other problems related to external acid residue buildup. Watering the batteries regularly and implementing a schedule of proper maintenance will help you attain the best possible performance of your battery fleet. The scheduled task notices available in EBatt can be used to encourage your maintenance staff to follow a practice of care that will maximize your potential for profits.

• Operate with Fewer Batteries

Once you start using the EBatt system and following our operational recommendations, you could discover that you need considerably fewer batteries to run your operation. With proper maintenance and use practices in place, EBatt has shown customers that were using three batteries per truck that they could lower their battery per truck ratio to 1.8 or less.

• Operate with Fewer Chargers

Because EBatt's many reports show you activity and usage trends for batteries, vehicles and chargers, you can eliminate or replace underperforming assets. If the situation is that you have too many batteries, the information available from the EBatt system may guide you to reduce your battery inventory. Fewer batteries could mean fewer chargers resulting in lower energy and maintenance costs.

• Operate with Lower Non-Productive Labor Costs

Fewer battery changes per shift gains you more productive time each day. With EBatt tracking the activity, your operators can be encouraged to change batteries ONLY when necessary. That will free them up to handle the jobs that make you money.

• Dramatically Cut Energy Costs and Increase Productivity

Charging your batteries according to the factory recommendation, when they reach 80% of discharge, can result in fewer charge cycles for the batteries and longer runs out on the floor. EBatt helps you track your battery room activity and battery run times so the necessary changes to procedures may be encouraged that earn you more by costing you less. See which vehicles and batteries are coming in for changes more often than the others. See which operators make a habit of changing batteries at shift change and break times. Take control of your battery fleet operations.
