There is no more effective means of protecting UPS equipment and backup power systems from failure than regularly scheduled preventative maintenance. No matter the size of your business, downtime carries a weighty price tag. Don’t suffer financial loss from preventable causes. Keep your UPS equipment running at optimum efficiency, both maximizing your power system’s capability and proactively protecting your revenue stream, with the assistance of Ash Battery’s experienced technical staff.

Ash Battery technicians are commercially licensed and certified to haul hazmat batteries and related materials.  As an authorized hazmat transporter, we work in conjunction with local recycling facilities to ensure that proper disposal procedures are met.

As part of our service offerings, Ash Battery provides recycling certificates documenting that proper disposal procedures have been satisfied according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s rules and regulations.  Ash Battery issues these certificates to our customers as sufficient evidence of consumption of spent lead acid batteries.

Ash Battery testing programs for stationary batteries and dc power systems meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) requirements and the recommended practices of IEEE Standards 450, 1106 and 1188 for vented lead acid, nickel cadmium and valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) respectively.

Our Performance Test of Battery Capacity (load discharge test) capabilities allow us to perform battery discharge tests on all vented lead acid, VRLA and nickel cadmium battery types of any ampere-hour capacity. Our knowledge of capacity testing and use of state of the art data acquisition equipment allows us to accurately evaluate the capability of the entire battery string along with each cell or multi-cell jar to deliver the manufacturer’s rated discharge current for a given duration. The capacity test also allows us to determine the state of battery aging.
