FLAWLESS ASSESMENT
+
We fully evaluate all products
specifications and functionality within
every project.
In order to ensure precision and proper functionality, we conduct thorough load and
capacity testing for your DC systems. Inside every tailor made project plan, Battery
Research and Testing accurately determines the state of health of any battery, rectifier,
ups or fuel cell we evaluate.
Load testing is the only way to definitively prove the capacity of any given battery - at
any given time. While system inspections are crucial, and provide essential information
relevant to maintenance, inspections cannot determine battery capacity. That is why we
follow and believe in our detail oriented protocol for testing. We do it right the first time
for our customers.
+
Dependable updates and routine product checks
will guarantee your company’s success.
• We have performed thousands of AC and DC load tests for a wide variety of customers.
• We supply cabling, over-current protection and rectifiers for recharging.
• We can supply a backup battery of equal capacity to keep your system up without
interruption during testing.
• All battery switchovers are performed transparently to the system.
• We utilize both air cooled and liquid cooled load banks to determine the exact
capacity of any system.
• Our load testing procedures are based on the IEEE 1106, IEEE 1188, IEEE 450 and the
practices recommended by the major battery manufacturers.
• All load tests performed by Battery Research & Testing include a complete pre-test
inspection.

ONGOING SUPPORT

We are always on the move, ensuring the
highest quality battery care the world over.
IOVR - Battery recovery/rejuvenation/life extension process - Through the
IOVR™ (Internal Ohmic Value Recovery) process we can recover lost capacity, run time,
and operability in any structurally intact 2 volt VRLA cell. Wither you call it battery
capacity recovery, or battery rejuvenation, or battery life extension this process will
save you money!
Battery Research & Testing is the world’s leader in developing the IOVR™ process for
restoring lost capacity, run time, and reliability in VRLA cells.
+
Dependable updates and routine product checks
will guarantee your company’s success.
The IOVR™ process entails the analyzing the internal ohmic values of the
cells as compared to known “good numbers”, replacing the lost water from
each cell as needed, recovering the negative plates, and the replacement of
the originally installed vent assembly with a vent assembly that has a
Philadelphia Scientific Microcat Catalyst..
Of course the process is more detailed than this brief explanation, but it is
easily performed and in many cases can be performed without ever taking
the battery out of service. The IOVR+ process is the end result of what
began as simple attempts at battery rejuvenation.
ONOING SUPPORT
+
We are dedicated to revitalizing the life of
your batteries.
• We have successfully performed this process on tens of thousands of cells, from
small 24 volt systems up thru 240 cell UPS systems.
• We have recovered lost capacity from under 5% to over 90%, with some returning to
their original 100% of capacity.
• If the cells are relatively new and have not yet been negatively affected, we can
perform actions that will prevent the early failure that most will realize.
• The actual amount of battery capacity recoverable is dependent upon the extent
lost, reason for the capacity loss, and the length of time the cells have been in
service.
• It will help reduce the internal resistance of the cell when it is already degraded.
• It will reduce the amount of charge current required to maintain the cell in a charged
state, when it is already elevated.
ONOING SUPPORT
+
We are dedicated to revitalizing the life of
your batteries.
• Will reduce the operation temperature of the battery itself, when it is elevated due to
internal conditions.
• It will restore plate potentials to their proper values if they have shifted as a result
of under polarization of the negatives, or will prevent them from shifting if still correct.
• It will help recover sulfated plates.
• It can reduce your battery replacement costs by over 60%.
• It will reduce or eliminate the risk of thermal runaway.
• Will increase the reliability of the system.
• The amount of battery life extension is dependent upon the actual battery condition
when the process is performed.

We are dedicated to revitalizing the life of
your batteries.
• We recycle millions of pounds of Lead Acid and Nickel-Cadmium batteries yearly from all of
our projects eliminating potentially environmentally damaging lead, polypropylene and
cadmium – a toxic heavy metal.
• We only utilize certified sources to dispose waste by-products.
• Battery Research and Testing is the world's leader in developing the IOVR™ process for
restoring lost capacity, run time, and reliability in VRLA cells while reducing customer's
replacement cost by as much as 60%. The process extends/rejuvenates battery life and
reduces the frequency of replacement. Battery life extension = less waste, improved cost!
• Our maintenance process extends battery life, improves performance and reduces the
frequency of replacement.
• We have limited the amount of paperwork associated with preventative maintenance
programs by utilizing a web based process. Our goal is to move to a paperless environment.

Examples:
• On site flash drives: BR&T technicians can download the raw inspection data and
leave it on site at the time of the inspection. The data is saved in excel format
and can easily be accessed by authorized site personnel. The drive is updated on
subsequent inspections giving a detailed history of the operating profile of the dc
power plant.
• Online Reporting Tool: Reports are then reviewed and summarized with
recommendations and comments detailed on the front page. The reports are
uploaded in pdf. format to our secure server. Once uploaded, customers receive
automatic email notification that a report has been posted. Customers have
twenty- four hour access to reports and can control authorized access to specific
individuals within their organizations.
• Hard copies of the reports can be mailed at the customer's request.
