Wide Bandgap Semiconductors are Revolutionizing Battery Charger Design and Performance
Material choice has a direct impact on charger performance. This paper compares wide bandgap semiconductors with traditional silicon and explains their advantages in efficiency, reliability, and field performance.
A New Approach to High Power Switchmode by Battery Charger Design
Switchmode chargers offer strong efficiency, size, weight, and response advantages over legacy designs. This paper addresses adoption concerns and explains how ruggedized switchmode design supports demanding environments.
Onsite Generation – More Important Now Than Ever
Grid reliability is under pressure. This paper explains how onsite natural gas and diesel generation can help reduce outage risk, manage peak pricing, and support critical operations.
HELIX™ – Charging Technology Increases Genset Starting Battery Life & Cuts Risk of Catastrophic Battery Failure
Genset starting batteries often fail early because conventional charging profiles are a poor fit. This paper explains how HELIX extends battery life, reduces failure risk, and lowers energy use.
Dynamic Boost™ – A New System That Delivers Both Fast Charging & Minimal Risk of Overcharge
Dynamic Boost improves charging accuracy across every cycle. This paper explains how it supports faster recharge, lower overcharge risk, reduced maintenance, longer battery life, and lower lifecycle cost.
Improve Genset Availability By Detecting Bad Batteries Early
Battery failure is a leading cause of generator start failure. This paper outlines a practical approach to early battery detection that can reduce start risk and protect business continuity.
The Case for Continuous Remote Monitoring of DC Power Plants
Periodic manual checks are not enough for many critical backup power systems. This paper explains how real time remote monitoring helps detect issues earlier and improve system readiness.
Remote Battery Monitoring: Advanced Failure Prediction Through Trend Analysis
Continuous monitoring provides trend data that manual checks cannot. This paper explains how battery data analysis can identify failure risk earlier and support planned corrective action.
Battery Connection Resistance: The Fear and the Science
Poor battery connections can reduce runtime, create heat, and increase compliance risk. This paper explains why connection integrity matters for battery plant performance and safety.
Battery Ohmic Measurement Methods Revisited
Ohmic testing helps identify battery capacity decline before failure. This paper reviews key measurement methods and their role in proactive maintenance using portable or fixed monitoring systems.
