Q. What is your re-manufacturing process?

A

•  We use state of the art custom built computerized testing software along with our own custom made hardware to test hundreds of modules individually in a temperature controlled environment .
• Modules are given a score based on their relative Capacity x Resistance and C rating. 
• Modules that score within an except-able range of each other are placed in the same pack. This insures that the Modules are properly balanced. 
• We then connect all the modules together using our refurbished nickel plated bus-bars . 
• The bus-bar is secured using brand new stainless steel corrosion free nuts. 
• The battery is then placed on a simulator that runs the pack thru the most strenuous conditions it would face in the real world (engine fail to start or running the car in neutral) taking the pack from almost full charge to the brink of full discharge, the car only runs your pack between 40%-80% State Of Charge (SOC) we run it between 10%-90% SOC. 
• Voltages are graphed thru-out this process and monitored live to find any irregularities in real time and stored in out data bank. 
• Only after passing all of these tests is a pack given a unique serial number and sent out to a customer.  
• This process takes about 20 hours per Battery.

Q. What does Balanced mean?

A. First off, balanced does NOT mean that all of the modules have the same voltage (IE.. charging those with low voltage). The modules in a healthy pack will always vary slightly within an except-able range. Balanced means starting with hundreds of modules and finding matching units that score similarly on a Capacity x Resistance x C rating tests

Q. How do I know that my battery is failing?

A. We always suggest getting your car diagnosed at a dealer or competent mechanic. When the battery fails several lights will turn on on the dashboard. you will normally see a red triangle and turtle light. Also the engine will be working more then usual and the battery-cooling fan will be running at high speed constantly. he battery SOC indicator may go from full bars to one and back again rapidly. The car may also not go into reverse. In a catastrophic failure the car may not start all-together (although this may have a range of other causes). The car computer will let of a range of codes all relating to the battery p3000,p3006 and p3011-p3029 are the more common ones. Codes such as P0A80 can also be caused by a discharged or faulty 12v battery and this should be ruled out with a load test on the 12v battery.
