Operational efficiency affected by underperforming batteries?

Industry-leading eGO! performance data will help you maximise battery life and performance.

WHY BATTERY PERFORMANCE DATA MATTERS

 

'IF YOU'RE NOT MONITORING THREE KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS,
YOU'RE HALVING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY'

Every day you’re not monitoring your battery’s performance, you’re exposing yourself to unexpected, costly downtime, reduced equipment lifespan, and unplanned replacements. Without proactive maintenance, your batteries are at risk of premature failure, leaving you with:

  • Unexpected Downtime: Equipment and operations halt when batteries suddenly die.
  • Expensive Replacements: Avoidable battery replacements cut into your budget.
  • Reduced Equipment Lifespan: Neglected batteries can wear down your machines faster.
  • Higher Operating Costs: Inefficiencies from poorly performing batteries inflate energy costs.

The eGO!data captured by our battery performance monitors gives real-time monitoring and actionable insights that protect your equipment, reduce costs, and eliminate surprises.

Low Water Alert

Low Electrolyte

Low electrolyte levels in forklift batteries can lead to serious performance issues and costly damage. Electrolyte is essential for the chemical reactions that generate power; without enough, the battery's plates are exposed to air, causing sulfation and irreversible damage. This reduces capacity, shortens the battery's lifespan, and increases the risk of downtime. Regularly checking and maintaining proper electrolyte levels is crucial for maximizing battery performance and avoiding expensive repairs.

High Temperature Alert

Over Temperature

Overheating is a major threat to forklift batteries, leading to reduced performance, shorter lifespan, and potential safety risks. High temperatures accelerate chemical reactions inside the battery, causing increased wear, faster water loss, and potential damage to internal components. Prevent costly downtime and extend battery life by implementing proper temperature monitoring and ensuring adequate ventilation during operation and charging.

Low Charge Warning

Over Discharge

Over-discharging forklift batteries can cause significant damage, reduce lifespan, and lead to expensive repairs. When a battery is discharged below its recommended depth, it strains the internal components, leading to sulfation, overheating, and irreversible plate damage. Over-discharge also increases the risk of complete battery failure, resulting in costly downtime and productivity loss. Protect your investment by using proper charge management systems and recharging batteries before they drop below critical levels. Ensure reliable performance and longevity with consistent monitoring and maintenance.

The Metrics That Matter

 

The eGO! performance data recorded by one of our battery performance monitors covers every single important metric that can directly affect the performance of a battery. There is no other BMS on the market that provides this level of detail and accessibility within one system.

Electrolyte Levels

Our eGO! products feature our industry standard SmartBlinky Technology alerting you when the battery needs water.

Temperature Levels

Hot running or charging temperatures are a telltale sign that something is wrong. Our eGO! will alert you to it.

Data Received

If we don't get the data you don't get the information. We can track exactly when we last recieved an upload online.

Normal Cycles

When a battery is charged, used and discharged, this is classed as a normal usage cycle.

Opportunity Cycles

If a battery is charged multiple times during a work cycle this reduces overall life expectancy.

Abuse Cycles

Abuse cycles are another big killer of batteries. We track it so you can amend working practices and maintenance..

Work Time

You can see exactly how long each battery has worked for, helping you to streamline assets.

Rest Time

Reporting in conjunction with Work Time, this shows how long a battery has stood unused with charge.

Charge Time

The amount of time a battery has been on charge can indicate a whole range of issues with capacity.

Cool Down Time

Using a battery that hasn't cooled down enough drastically impacts performance, we track it so you can change practices.

Life Used

Calculating the lifespan of a battery using the data captured through the eGO! we can show current life used.

Life Remaining

Working in with Life Used, life remaining allows you to effectively plan in replacing batteries and assets.

Bi-Directional Energy*

Bi-directional energy monitoring shows how much energy has gone into and out of the battery.

*Available on eGO!pro only

LIFETIME ENERGY*

Working in conjunction with the bi-directional energy metric you can see total energy throughput for the battery.

Discover the right fit for your application

 

Depending on your application and how much detail you want in your battery performance data, there is an eGO! that will be best for you. Below is a list of metrics that each of the eGO! battery performance monitors capture.

eGO!core

The eGO!core is the ideal monitor for all battery types and provides entry-level monitoring in a small form factor that makes it ideal for batteries with a smaller form factor. The data the unit provides allows you to view top level performance of each individual battery as well as giving you an insight into the entire fleets performance.

Ideal applications:

Powered Pallet TruckPPT    Low level order pickerLLOP

eGO!plus

The eGO!plus builds upon the metrics delivered by our eGO!core by providing a higher number of data points across more key performance indicators. This gives you even more information that allows you to adjust your operation to maximise battery life and quickly improve operational efficiencies where needed.

Ideal applications:

Low level order pickerLLOP   Reach TruckReach   Counter Balance TruckCB   VNA TruckVNA

eGO!pro

The eGO!pro is our industry-leading, gold-standard battery performance monitor that covers all key performance metrics that affect the life of standard and premium lead acid batteries. The data the eGO!pro provides allows you to benchmark each battery's performance across the fleet quickly and easily.
