The Challenge
Batteries are the lifeline of your equipment but often an ignored component. Most companies don’t have a battery management system in place. Battery related issues are linked to improper charging, discharging, watering and equalizing. Also, battery costs have risen dramatically over the last few years, significantly increasing acquisition costs, pushing fleet managers to rely on solutions that extend their battery’s lifetime for a less frequent turnover.
That is why Access has designed solutions to…

Streamlined Operator Procedures
When faced with a constantly rotating staff, maintaining streamlined maintenance and battery operation procedures can be difficult to achieve, introducing a new set of costs and challenges for motive power fleets. Taking proactive steps to prevent battery issues can extend battery life and improve productivity.
Usage Based Maintenance Schedules
When monitoring batteries, you can avoid downtimes and any damages to the batteries by setting up maintenance notifications at the proper time based on actual usage.
“View” your Batteries
Implement best practices for battery charging. You should put more in the battery than you take out. Also, monitor exceptions such as over temperature and water level. Take steps before it gets worse.
Insight into Plug Ins
Your opportunity charging operation is as good as how your operators plug-in at every opportunity. Get instant visibility on plug-ins. Identify batteries which are idle not being charged. Keep your fleet ready at all times.
Battery efficiency and health
Taking care of your batteries means protecting your motive power asset fleet. A malfunctioning battery can cause deadlines to be missed, schedules to be impacted and unforeseen costs if they fail prematurely. Taking proactive steps to ensure your batteries are working at its full capacity and health, will support you in your operational goals.
