About Valesco
 

Valesco was founded in 1999 with the goal of developing the most physically durable and technically superior battery chargers and industrial battery asset management equipment available. Our objectives are to ensure that:

 Day-to-day radio users can have complete confidence in their radio without needing any field maintenance.
 Maintenance technicians are given the proper tools to analyze, manage, track and maintain your inventory and   industrial battery charger.
 Management can be confident that the entire fleet is maintained at the highest efficiency and lowest possible   cost.

Our Products

Our products consist of the Satellite 6™ industrial battery charger, a six pocket conditioning battery charger for day to day processing of batteries, and the Enterprise 3000™, an expandable charger, reconditioner, and analysis tool:

 
The Enterprise 3000™

The Enterprise 3000™ charger is a complete and beneficial tool designed to precondition new batteries, recondition and recover old batteries, identify capacities and faults, and help manage the battery fleet.

This product is normally utilized by Maintenance Technicians to:

Pre-condition and log new batteries before field use
Perform failure analysis on low batteries
Recondition/recover used batteries
Track battery inventory:



Benefits to Maintenance Technicians
Critical info on every battery at the "touch" of a screen
Confidence in the removal of a "bad" battery from operation
Compact design: pockets & screen all on one rack
Simple "One touch" prints service labels stating serial number, capacity, process completed,
  and date
Benefits to Management
Ability to track, measure and manage batteries so costs can be reduced and employee safety is
  improved
Technical Features
Simultaneously processes up to 128 units and any mix of chemistries
Bar code reader for easy asset management
Touch-screen Graphical User Interface
Fits a standard 19" rack allowing for easy expansion
Durable, design for longer life
Can process Ni-Cad, Ni-MH, Li-Ion, SLA, SMBUS
Batteries (trait) information is automatically downloaded each time to the adapter allowing for
  multiple chemistries and amphour combinations in a single adapter
Terminates accurately on temperature Delta T (via thermistor) and voltage drop Delta V
User definable temperature window. Users can set the upper temperature limit which, when hit,
  allows for a cool down time in between cycles. This allows for proper end termination, extending
  life of your batteries
Can process 4000 mAmphour Ni-MH 2-way radio batteries

Working Together

The Satellite 6™ and the Enterprise 3000™ are tools ideally suited to work together. The Enterprise will set up new batteries and prepare them for use in the field. While in the field the Satellite 6™ will work to maintain the batteries through proper cycling, and automatically reconditioning them whenever needed. With the customer specified, factory configured set point for automatic reconditioning, "bad batteries" will be quickly identified by the operator and can be sent in for analysis. This process eliminates the logistics of having to send in the batteries for periodic maintenance or reconditioning. The batteries can be analyzed on the Enterprise 3000™, recovered if possible, history recorded and logged. The Enterprise 3000™ and the Satellite 6™ working in conjunction, will help to keep inventories down while increasing life expectancies.

Valesco is continually working on new two way radio batteries with all chemistries in addition to many SLA's (sealed lead acid). If you have any questions, or would like to inquire further, please contact Valesco at:
