Battery Life Calculator
1.  Select the system that best describes your engine generator.
                 (Single Engine)                 (Multiple, Paralleled Engines)



























2. How frequently are your generators tested under load?
 times per

3. How often do you switch to generator power during storm warnings?


4. Select the battery type used in your UPS or DC power plant:


5.  Battery system size (fill in what you know atleast 2 out of 3):
   volts (e.g. 24, 48, 125, etc.)
   amps (e.g. 100, 300, 600,etc.)
   total VA (e.g. 2000, 4000, 10000, etc.)
   hours of capacity at rated load (e.g. 0.25, 1, 8, etc.)
Note: For most accurate payback calculation, include the total VA capacity of all battery systems that are charged by this generator including under-desk UPS and rechargable batteries used by automation devices.

6. Cost to replace battery system:
  Not sure(select this and we will compute using typical costs based on
          industry averages and based on the battery size and type listed above)
 $

7. Type of transfer switch between generator and battery system:
 Open Transition (if you don't know, it is probably Open Transition)
 Open with In-Phase Monitor
 Closed Transition
 Soft-Load (Zero Power) Transfer
