Since the only way to truly determine battery performance is to conduct a load test, we have put together this simple 7-Step Guide to Connecting our SLB Series Constant Current DC Battery Load Tester to a Battery Bank: 1. Connect the load bank to AC power and turn the unit ‘on.’ Make sure breakers are in the ‘off’ position. 2. Connect the load cables from the load bank ...
Despite being the energy storage solution of choice for over 150 years, industries and consumers alike are migrating from Lead Acid Batteries (LABs) to superior solutions like Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) batteries. If a homeowner or business currently has lead acid batteries installed for back-up power without solar, grid-tied or off-grid systems with solar, or mobile applications like RV and ...
The terrible consequences of cobalt mining and usage are both well documented and heartbreaking. Devastating environmental impacts from extration that render large swath of land unusuable and polluted waterways. Children forced to work in dangerous and claustrophobic 'artisanal' mines (a truly sinister euphemism). Toxicity, lung disease, heart failure, and cancer from exposure, even ...
Batteries have become the lifeblood of today’s machines, devices, and equipment. Batteries enable us to use them without an electrical connection. But batteries, as we know, have limited capacity. Sooner we’ll have to plug our laptops, our phones, or replace our car batteries. Batteries have a predetermined lifespan as indicated by the manufacturers’ specifications. However, ...
