When your forklift is under performing, battery failure may be the number one reason. Implement routine forklift battery testing in your preventative maintenance program for your motive power batteries. Decrease downtime, optimize your forklift batteries, save money and improve ROI by testing your forklift batteries regularly. Eagle Eye Power Solutions offers a variety of options to fit your needs & budget - including battery load testing, battery digital hydrometers, and portable battery testing kits. Please visit www.eepowersolutions.com for more information or call us at 1-877-805-3377.

Eagle Eye's SLB-Series Smart Load Banks are the industry-leading discharge solution for forklift battery testing. The motive power-specific SLB-24/36/48-300 Load Bank & SLB-24/36/48/80-200 Load Bank come standard with wireless monitoring of the system during the discharge test. Optional "DAC" (data acquisition case) add-ons allow for wireless monitoring per battery cell during discharge. This means the voltage of each cell will be displayed and recorded, and you can evaluate the health of each cell individually - providing substantial cost savings if replacement is needed. Included management software allows the user to create reports, trend system and cell health, create discharging graphs & more. Most forklift batteries go through an 'industry-standard' six-hour load test to evaluate the true battery health. Eagle Eye Load Banks are portable, safe, and are the most reliable way to measure battery capacity.

Load Testing is critical to evaluate motive power battery performance capacity, identify problematic trends, and save you from costly downtime. Discharge testing allows for a thorough battery evaluation, and will allow you to see how your battery behaves on a charge. Choose to charge, replace, or keep your batteries based on the smart load test results. Utilize battery warranties, improve budget forecasts, and reduce battery inventory with the Eagle Eye Smart Load Banks.

Eagle Eye also has a complete line of Digital Hydrometers - cost-effective solutions for lead-acid battery maintenance. Hydrometers are fundamental to measuring the state-of-charge and cell condition in your forklift battery. Specific gravity in a normal battery ranges from 1.150 (discharged) to 1.275 (charged). If an individual cell in the battery shows a considerably lower specific gravity than the rest, the battery may require maintenance or replacement.
