"Buying Power Units Rather Than Batteries 
Makes More Sense and Significantly
Improves $ Cash Flow" 

Applications like Central Office, Cable, MXU, and Remote DLC's

With Purchasing and Accounting Departments scrambling around to make fiscal year budgets make sense, the concept of Energy/Power Leasing is looking more and more attractive.  And with sporadic battery failure and ad hoc replacements costs gnawing at a company's bottom line profit picture, the "old way" is now making way for the "new way."  Using this powerful principle of taking sporadic costs and turning them into "line item expenditures via "energy/power leasing" is a no brainer when it comes to saving the company money.   Leasing power allows the company to treat cost in the same category as utilities, rent and insurance.  And beyond all this, it will greatly alleviate the tension between purchasing and engineering departments that must constantly reconcile expenditures of the company.  Many years ago, the wisest man, Solomon, said, "For as he thinketh in his heart so, is he:"  And for the Battery Industry Family, no words could be more appropriate and revealing.   Shackled by archaic "thinking," the industry has strangled its productivity and profitability for years.  Changing your way of thinking is the only answer.   (And it is so simple as Manufacturers, End-users and Suppliers apply these 3 RULES)

RULE 1.   "Instead of Buying Batteries, Start Buying Power Units and Watch Your Cash $Flow Become A River of Profitability"  Our Utility and Telephone colleagues have been doing this for years with great success.

The "OLD WAY" 

Batteries are currently sold worldwide in the following manner. The engineering and maintenance departments order batteries on a "as needed" basis. Because batteries are installed at different times they fail at different times and this creates power efficiency problems. The engineering department submits a purchase request for batteries on the same "as needed basis". With very little on hand battery inventory allowed, the engineering department seems to be at odds with the purchasing department on a regular basis. The battery requests can be substantial and it may not come at a good time for the accounting department because of where they are in their fiscal year. As a result, the two departments can be out of step when it comes to these large purchases. The engineering department feels the heat when they can't keep the system operational and the accounting department is also under pressure from a book keeping standpoint. The end result is poor and inefficienct and restricts the provider from serving their customers. Another large problem faced by providers is an inability to gauge the performance of the batteries used in the UPS system. Because batteries are installed at different times with different manufacturers with different warranties and guarantees, it is difficult for the engineering department to know just how well the battery performed in each situation. The battery business has been built on warranties, guarantees and promises that seem almost impossible to keep track of. 

The "NEW WAY" :  Leasing of Battery/Power Units

A provider will sign an agreement with the battery company for a fixed period of time. The contracts can be set for three to five years and are binding power lease agreements. The battery manufacturer performs a power requirement study which will identify the overall needs of the client. Based on the geographic location, the battery manufacturer will then evaluate the projected life of the batteries and divide the purchase price by the projected life. The battery company will then present a contract to the client and will provide fresh batteries for installation throughout the customer's system. This contract can include maintenance guidelines for the batteries and could also include an option that would include an actual battery maintenance program.  This contract will allow the engineering department to have a complete system of batteries, all installed at the same time, and the accounting department will have a steady fixed overhead payment to make on a monthly basis. If the batteries perform to, or exceed their projected life, the battery manufacturer makes their money. If a battery fails at any time during the power contract, the engineering department simply orders a replacement battery at no additional cost. Every Member of the Battery Industry Family: Manufacturers, End-users and Suppliers -- "WINS" when you learn to think this way:

Now you can "take charge and simplify things" for you and your customers.

RULE 2.   "THINK HOW IT simplifies supply expenditures for your client by taking sporadic costs and turning them into "line item expenditures."  Leasing now takes Battery costs to the same category as utilities, rent and insurance. "

RULE 3.   "ALL BATTERY  MANUFACTURERS are able to provide the "best sales price" because of the quantity of batteries sold at one time.  And the battery recycling of large groups of batteries is a revenue generator $ for the distributor and the client !"
