How a Lead-Acid Battery Works
The Lead-Acid battery goes through a cycle that has three main parts; construction, discharging and charging. Read more to see an infographic showing what happens in each part of the cycle.
The Internet of Things
Everything is smart these days; smartphones, smart cars and smart appliances, and these devices are becoming commonplace. Just look around your own home! They’re examples of smart technologies and come under the term ‘the Internet of Things’.
Lead-Acid batteries continue to show sustainability is key
Lead-acid batteries are also 100% recyclable, with more than 98% of lead-acid batteries recycled, compared to the 97% of Li-Ion batteries NOT recycled.
The Importance of Pure Water
All lead-acid batteries consist of flat lead plates immersed in a pool of electrolyte. We need to top up the battery regularly as some of this water is lost during the recharge cycle. Keeping the battery topped up will ensure that the plates are not irreparably damaged in the water level dips below the top of the plate. The second step and most important part of this maintenance process is using the correct water.

Watch the Philadelphia Scientific Seminar Now that was presented at PROMAT 2017 "Transforming the Battery Room with Lean Six Sigma Processes and Tools"
What You Will Learn:
This seminar shows the application of Lean Six Sigma tools in the battery room. Once applied, the results are transformational and will result in a significant elimination of waste ($). It will review the six types of waste commonly found in the battery room. It will show how a change to a “just-in-time” maintenance plan can eliminate waste.

“We have seen battery rooms reduce their battery fleet by 30% when they use the data from the systems that proves they are not running out of batteries,” Vanasse says. “It’s no longer guesswork, which usually errs on the side of having too many batteries.”
What is the one battery room tool you need to right-size your battery fleet?
You know you need performance data to properly manage your battery room. As the saying goes, "If you're not measuring it, you're not managing it."
But, what information do you need — and how do you obtain it? iBOSWorld™ Web Service solves this problem by giving you the battery room performance information you need right at your fingertips. And, with iBOSWorld™ 2.0, you get more helpful information that is easy to understand and easy to use.
