Why a New Battery From MK Battery Is the Best Choice for Your Elevator

It's easy to take the normal operations of an elevator for granted. A person simply presses a button to bring the elevator up or down to where they are and the doors automatically open for them, and then with another simple button press, the elevator system sends them on to the floor of their choice. It's a simple thing a person does that gets an incredible but so often underappreciated result. At least, until things break down and the desired result doesn't happen. 

What Happens When an Old Battery Stops Working or You Have No Backup Battery at All

During a power outage or electrical surge, what a resident or employee of your building might experience is an elevator that doesn't come to them or, even worse, one that traps them between floors with the doors tightly shut and no way to get out. An elevator car also might flicker its lights and make a grinding sound, but ultimately not start. This results in people getting stuck and stressed out, both of which can have significant negative effects on your building's reputation -- regardless if you operate a residential or commercial property.

In fact, improperly operating elevators or elevators that constantly short out and leave people stranded in them can open your business and yourself to litigation should anyone suffer a medical emergency while trapped in a malfunctioning elevator. Even if you have a backup battery installed, you may still fall prey to a malfunctioning elevator mishap due to the general failure of old batteries. 

Why a New Battery From MK Battery is the Best Choice for Your Elevator

While you can never predict when a power outage will strike or even when an older battery will suddenly fail, what you can do is be proactive. If your battery is over two years old, then now is the time to give it an inspection and consider replacing it with a new battery from MK Battery. If you don't have any type of backup battery system, then you need to get a high-quality new battery from MK Battery to safeguard your residents, tenants, and their guests.

A new battery from MK Battery, when equipped with a specialized elevator battery lowering system, will provide you with the following advantages:

  • Ensure that should the outside power fail for longer than five seconds, the new battery and battery lowering system will kick in to safely lower passengers to the nearest exit.
  • In the event of a full-on power outage, the new battery will ensure the elevator can maintain all safety functions like opening the doors and keeping lights on.
  • Once power reconnects with the local electric grid, the new battery and the battery lowering and lifting system will immediately send a signal to the controller to swap power operations and fully restore the elevator to normal operating systems.
