Battery Evaluation and Certification Testing - Case Studies

Abstract

Competitive pressures are forcing Operating Telephone Companies to look for opportunities that will improve fmancial performance by growing revenues and earnings and reducing operating and maintenance expenses. There is also pressure from regulatory agencies and consumer groups to improve the reliability of service and to minimize outages due to failures of equipment or utility power. The paper will discuss the role that Battery Performance testing can play in providing input for making decisions on reducing or delaying capital investments while assuring a high level of reliability in reusing existing batteries.
