AlphaGuard

• Extends battery life
• Spreads equal charge voltage across all batteries
• Ensures full battery life potential
• Allows replacement of individual battery instead of full string replacements
• Reduces battery preventative maintenance
• Compensates for battery differences as they age
• Safe unattended operation designed to CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 and UL 1778 standards
• Optional Potted AlphaGuard™ for underground battery vault applications

Case Study 
846 battery strings totalling 2538 batteries in outside plant installations 

• After two years 928 batteries drift outside acceptable charging tolerance presenting a challenge during preventative maintenance visits.
• At risk- 345 strings totaling 1035 batteries x $135 = $155,250
• AlphaGuard™ investment 846 strings x $84 = $71,064
• AlphaGuard™ reclaims lost potential of life for 928 strings

AlphaGuard Potted

• Extends service life for batteries installed below grade
• Spreads equal charge voltage across all batteries in the string
• Replace individual batteries upon failure, not the entire string

AlphaGuard™ monitors and protects your batteries by spreading an equal charge voltage across all batteries in a string, ensuring that every battery in the string, whether old or new, is properly charged.With an ideal voltage always across each battery, life and runtime are optimized. Individual batteries in a string can be replaced as they fail, allowing batteries to be left in service longer. This stops the wasteful and costly practice of disposing of batteries that may have years of useful life left because one battery in a string fails or replacing batteries based on a scheduled maintenance program. With the optional communications cabling and interface module, individual battery measurements are made at the batteries and reported, improving accuracy and allowing the power supply to determine end-of-discharge by individual batteries instead of the string voltage and reporting to status monitoring systems. The Potted AlphaGuard™ model is ideal for applications where batteries are installed below grade and subject to damp conditions or possible immersion.
