Our Services

Our engineers have literally decades of experience in this field. Each is trained in battery technology and is equipped with all the specialist test equipment and knowledge required to maintain and repair all makes of equipment. This really is one of our strengths – manufacturers generally only choose to maintain their own equipment. 
Many of the sites looked after by Exel have equipment from several different manufacturers. We have, over the years, and still do today, worked on almost everything you can come across in terms of standby battery equipment. This includes sites as diverse as power stations, pharmaceutical and fertiliser plants, to British Steel and government sites. Although, the more day-to-day work is on sites such as hotels, universities, retail stores, hospitals and local authority.
We currently maintain on contract, several sites with 30+ Central Battery Units each from a variety of manufacturers. It is all in a day’s work for us. 

By virtue of training and experience, our engineers can correctly test your battery system and they have the expertise to interpret the results properly. It is important to have a full understanding of how a system is supposed to operate in order to be qualified to test it, and know it is doing what it is supposed to do. Failing the mains and seeing if the lights work is not carrying out a service properly. Would you accept it if a mechanic drove your car round the block and said ‘It’s working ok’?

By using specialist test equipment, including data logging software, accurate and meaningful reports are produced to prove to the client what has been done and if any problems were identified. 
For example, all duration tests are data logged. The result is time and date stamped from the test PC. So, short cuts cannot be made. The time/date is tamper proof so a 3hr test actually is a 3hr test. The logged graph being the proof. In addition, the graph proves if the test was a pass, a failure, or if any cell failures occurred 

Central Battery System
Just because your equipment is old or faulty it does not necessarily mean it needs replacing. We can maintain and repair all makes of equipment. Almost all faulty equipment can be repaired, potentially saving you thousands of £s.
If replacement is preferred, as an independent company we have an unbiased opinion and can offer sound advice to make sure you get exactly what you need. No more – no less.
There is some very sophisticated equipment out there. It may not be suitable for your needs (See Case Study 1). Often a more simplistic solution is adequate. A more basic choice of equipment will certainly be cheaper initially, may well be more reliable, and will cost less to maintain and repair in the future. 
Some systems are less efficient to run day-to-day. Particularly with static inverter and UPS based systems. Passive Standby being the most efficient as no cooling fans or inverters are running in normal conditions. If the inverter of an Active Standby system is running continuously, you may be consuming 1 or 2kW of power just to run the machine before any load is connected.
