UNDERSTANDING BATTERY HEALTH
With more than 18,000 charging stations delivered, PosiCharge systems have a proven track record of prolonging battery life. We have many examples of customer batteries that have been in service for more than five years in a fast charge application, as well as heavy-duty auto manufacturing customers whose fast-charged batteries have retained 92% of their rated capacity after three hardworking years.

Being a leader in fast charging, as well as power cycling and test equipment, we understand what is important to maintain the health of your batteries and extend their life. Some of these include: weekly EQ, weekly watering, minimal over-discharge, preventing overheating, and a proper charging algorithm.

Battery Rx
Battery Rx
Our proprietary system, Battery Rx, combines accurate data, smart battery management, cellular wireless communication, and user-friendly software to give you the latest in battery management, battery care and warranty compliance tracking. Battery Rx monitors, records, and reports on the key parameters used to diagnose the health of your battery. Battery Rx can communicate wirelessly to report warranty deviations and to send automatic alerts. The data storage can accommodate eight years of battery and charge data, which is much more than the life expectancy of your battery.

BATTERY Rx IS SIMPLE
The Advanced Battery Monitor is easily installed onto the battery and is used to uniquely identify the battery. Battery Rx lives with the battery for the rest of its life while tracking and storing battery health and charge data. The system communicates with the chargers and transforms your facility into a "smart fleet" operation. Cellular communication delivers actionable data in real time without costly infrastructure. You won't have to worry about continuously checking your battery parameters and health because Battery Rx does it for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Fact of the week
Standardised crash test dummies appeared in the 1960s. Over time, crash test dummies better replicate the size and anatomy of a human and all its parts, as well as the range of motion of limbs and joints. Today's versions contain sensors to record damage and respond as humans do.
