It’s easy to forget about your generator batteries. They sit there quietly, doing nothing until the day they’re needed. But if they fail, your whole standby power setup fails with them.

At Barbour, we make sure that never happens.

Every time we inspect a generator, we carry out a full set of battery health checks using calibrated Hioki impedance testers. These results are logged and tracked so we can spot any drop in performance early on. That way, if something’s going wrong, we know about it before it causes real trouble.

We also clean and grease the terminals, check all cabling, and confirm that every connection is tight and torqued correctly. These aren’t big jobs, but they’re the kind of detail that gets missed. When it does, things stop working when you need them most.

If a battery needs replacing, we don’t leave you waiting. Every Barbour van carries Optima Red Top batteries in stock, so we can swap them out on-site and leave your system fully functional.

Batteries are just one part of your generator, but they’re the bit that decides whether it starts or not. We treat them like it.
