Battery Analysis & Battery Refresh (VRLA)
Thomas & Betts Power Solutions Global Service Battery Analysis and Battery Refresh are designed to help our customers keep their products reliable throughout the duration of the battery/batteries life span. Battery lifetime is highly affected by the environment in which they operate. The Battery Analysis will help to identify cells that may be damaged or faulty due to heat, age, environmental conditions, or deterioration. These factors can pose a considerable threat to battery performance. While analysis can be performed at any time, we recommend testing after the third year of product operation. A certified Thomas & Betts Power Solutions Field Service Engineer will be used to perform this on-site service.
