 Gruber Power
Service
Packages
all include battery maintenance during scheduled preventive maintenance visits
or during remedial maintenance activity without up-charge.
It's
undisputed. If you have equipment, you will have
problems. In fact, 60% of breakdowns are due to poor
maintenance and 25% of fires and explosions are
electrically induced. What if you could foresee
problems like these, days or even months, before they
occur? Predictive and
Preventive Maintenance enables you to do just
that.
Our
reliability-based maintenance solutions combine the
best techniques from each of the traditional
maintenance approaches. This provides a comprehensive
balanced maintenance strategy that enables you to
design maintenance plans that pinpoint maintenance
when and where it is needed most.
We maintain
all types of battery systems and plants.
For VRLA or sealed (most commonly used in UPS's) batteries,
maintenance includes:
- Measure
and record battery voltage
- Measure
and record internal resistance
- Measure,
record, and adjust if necessary charger output voltage and
current
- Measure
and record negative post temperature
- Measure
and record post to post resistance
- Re-torque
all battery post connections
- Inspect
rack or cabinet integrity, and clean or repair as necessary
- Inspect
Cells/Units for cracks, leaks, jar/cover distortion,
corrosion
- Inspect
for corrosion at connecting points, cables, breakers, etc.
- Analyze
and record all discharge events since the last PM
A properly
executed battery system analysis requires expensive and
sophisticated equipment. Our Field Engineers are
equipped with the latest test equipment which includes:

Preventive Maintenance Options |
Depot Service Preventive
Maintenance
For smaller power
conditioning units either requiring periodic PM's or battery replacement,
our
Depot Service is a cost effective option. As part of any
depot service activity, a thorough preventive maintenance procedure is
followed along with any remedial service required.
Enhanced Battery
Maintenance
Gruber Power
recognizes Batteries are an integral part of any critical
power application.
We are the only independent maintenance organization that
manufactures a line of batteries specifically designed
for critical power applications.
Optimal
battery service life is realized through routine maintenance.
As a battery ages, its capacity drops.
Annual battery testing
is recommended to measure the energy that a battery is able to
store. A reading of 80% or less indicates that a battery
should be replaced.
Gruber Power
Service Packages include
battery maintenance
usually performed during preventative maintenance service
visits. As a battery manufacturer, you can be assured of:
- Freshest
possible batteries
- Ample
supply of all types, sizes, styles
- Lowest
cost - We have removed all middlemen
Extended Battery
Warranty
Gruber Power Services offers
extended battery warranty plans providing no charge battery
replacement during a contractual period when used in
conjunction with any one of our Full Service Maintenance
Agreements.
Our service history files,
research, and field data,
indicate 73% of remedial service activity is battery system
failure related. To insure UPS systems operate at optimum
levels, we offer a full replacement warranty on non-GPS
batteries that are six months or newer. The popular Gruber
Power Services (GPS) brand battery warranty extension starts
at 36 months (we warranty GPS UPS batteries for three years).
For non-GPS batteries that are over six months old, we require
battery replacement through Gruber Power Services. Once
the selected brand of battery warranty period ends,
eligibility for this extended battery warranty commences and
continues for the duration of your service agreement with
Gruber Power Services.
This program, in conjunction
with one of our full service maintenance agreements, helps to
provide complete wrap-around coverage with no unexpected costs
normally associated with battery replacement. |
