Project Scope:
- Investigated uneven battery cell discharge within a rail maintenance vehicle.
- Analyzed battery performance to identify potential root causes and reliability issues.
- Developed procedures for safe battery compartment removal and system disconnection.
- Established methods for individual battery cell testing and balancing.
- Ensured maintenance procedures aligned with applicable safety and industry requirements.
- Created practical guidance to support more efficient diagnostics and servicing.
How does CRWS help?
CRWS applied a structured investigative approach despite limited initial data. Working closely with technicians and end users, our team conducted on-site inspections and gathered operational insights to better understand how the battery system performed under real-world conditions.
Using these findings, CRWS developed clear, practical procedures adapted to the tools available on-site and the project’s safety requirements. These procedures provided technicians with an effective approach to diagnosing, testing, balancing, and managing faulty battery cells while helping improve overall system reliability.
