 NASA Glen Research Center Is An Excellent Proving Ground For Your Equipment   NASA solved their battery testing problem by using the SOC to ensure mission critical UPS backup systems come online when they need them the most. Read the full NASA case study below:
"It is our responsibility to service and maintain battery backup systems here containing strings of hundreds of recombinant batteries primarily 6 and12 volt. These UPS systems backup many mission critical rigs and computer racks, hubs and routers, security systems and facility operation systems. The health of these batteries is critical to the success and completion of our operations, testing and research. Any battery string in any one of these UPS systems and battery backed up security systems is principal to the operation of this facility.
In the past we have outsourced battery maintenance and replacement. We here at NASA Glenn have to be innovative. This has created a foundation to grow and yet economize. One way is using the newest state of the art of equipment i.e. [The Soc140]. As we have shopped for and researched the market for battery health testers, we have found the Soc140 to be ideal for our needs to keep our backup systems running at optimum performance and support in battery longevity, as well as battery matching solutions.
We the management as well as the skilled tradesmen feel this equipment is very effective in isolating trouble spots in our battery strings. We have 20 to 30 large UPS’s and a myriad of smaller back-up systems requiring maintenance and we’re confident the SOC 140 will do the job. This research facility is an excellent proving ground for your equipment."

It is a no brainier to find a bad battery now with the SOC 140, it is fast and easy
 "JFK Airtrain is an 8.5 mile “Driverless Light Rail, Rapid Transit System which provides a fast, clean, reliable and covenant way for both airline passengers and workers to access the terminals at JFK Airport from the NYC Transit Subway System. This is state of the art technology that requires computers to operate the system in a safe and efficient manor. This also requires the much needed services of Large 40, 60 & 100 KVA, Uninterruptible Power Supplies or UPS, to assure that we suffer no impact to our service here at JFK. We have to be 100% sure our UPS’s operate 100% of the time when called upon. This requirement demands that we need to know precisely the condition of all UPS batteries that we need to rely on in any power event which will call upon the UPS’s to supply power to the SCADA Computer Systems.
Before we purchased the SOC 140 Battery Analyzer we had to rely upon the UPS’s built-in battery discharge test to prove the reliability of the batteries. But each time we performed this time consuming 8 hour battery discharge test it shortens battery life and this adds to the expense of battery replacement. This UPS periodic discharge testing still did not adequately show us the status of each battery and as a result we would at times still suffer UPS failure do to a few bad batteries several months after the UPS Battery Discharge Test showed the entire string within the normal range. We still needed a better method to predict UPS battery failure that was simple and fast for my electricians to use with out being complicated to decipher the results.
I found what I was looking for in the “SOC 140 Battery Analyzer”, this instrument cut our cost’s in UPS Battery maintenance dramatically. We now can simply test an entire 30 battery string in less than one (1) hour and see exactly the condition of each UPS battery. Now if we come across a bad or questionable battery we replace only that battery with a new one. Before when a 6- month time consuming UPS Battery Discharge Test showed a serious deterioration of battery string performance we replaced all the batteries.
Now we just replace only the bad batteries and the cost savings in battery replacements and in man-hours has paid for the SOC 140 on the first usage.
I now have the tool to safely predict UPS battery failure before it impacts our operation. To quote one of my electricians, “It is a no brainier to find a bad battery now with the SOC 140, it is fast and easy”. Thank you Ultrasystems Electronics, Inc. for the SOC 140 Battery Analyzer."

I Don’t Know What We’d Do Without It
Today's Small Business demands continuous power. When poor power supplies threatened the progress and growth of North American Communications, Wayne Barbarek entrusted the SOC with the mission critical application of determining whether the batteries in their UPS systems would do the job they were designed to fulfill.
After utilizing the SOC, NAC experienced 100% continuous power protection, and another added benefit. The elimination of needless battery replacement became prevalent and NAC found that over the years they had been throwing away good batteries and essentially throwing away money in the process.
Small growing businesses just can't afford unplanned interruptions in continuous power, and needless avoidable battery replacement expenses. With the SOC, problems Solved.

We needed
an accurate battery testing system - The SOC140 has filled the
bill
 "Western Utility has been rewarded the
job of completing scheduled maintenance of telecommunications
equipment which includes the testing of standby power-battery
back-up systems. We needed an accurate battery testing system.
The SOC140 has filled the bill. I nearly purchased the equipment
required to complete full discharge tests to rated system
capacity, which would have been four to five times the capital
expense and taken hours more of the technician’s time for each
location, removing the battery systems from service, bringing
the batteries back to the shop, completing the full discharge
tests and then recharging the battery systems. Using the
SOC140, we’re getting reliable test results in less than a
minute, leaving the batteries in a high capacity state after
testing allowing us to immediately put the batteries back into
service. I am extremely pleased with the SOC140"
