Industrial Battery of Pittsburgh Professional Industrial Motive Power Battery Washing And Cleaning ServiceMotive Power Battery Cleanings:

Protect your investment, increase productivity and extend battery life with Industrial Battery Of Pittsburgh’s battery washing service. IBP Pittsburgh will come to your site (weather permitting) and high-pressure wash and neutralize your battery fleet. Through this process we use a high-pressure rinse in conjunction with a water recirculating system. This yields a constant flow of water that is filtered; PH monitored and recycled reducing environmental concerns.

This service is available from April through October dockside. In winter months, the service can be provided with set up inside.

How Frequently Is Battery Washing Needed:

The frequency of battery cleaning all depends on how well the batteries are watered and how hard they are used. In a clean environment, a well maintained battery might require washing twice yearly via high pressure and cleaning twice yearly by hand. In a dirty environment, we may find cleanings are required quarterly.

Over watering or poor watering habits will result in more frequent battery washings or cleanings!

Consequences Due To Dirty Batteries:

  • Premature Battery Failure
  • Poor Battery Performance
  • Battery Shorts and Grounds
  • Tray Corrosion
  • Possible Electronic Issues With Lift Truck / Forklift

A well maintained battery is a clean battery!
