Percept Technology Offers Battery Testing Services

For immediate release

Boulder, CO — December 15, 2003 - Building on its product test and compliance expertise, Percept Technology Labs has increased the breadth of its service offerings to include battery testing in its Boulder-based lab.

Most of today's technology products rely on battery power - either for remote operation or battery backup. Incorporating the right battery into a design is an important consideration. Percept's battery testing and battery life analysis shows how reliably a chosen battery will perform in a particular design or finished product. Additionally, objective testing shows exactly how well a design will work using battery power.

With a properly designed test plan Percept can:

• Optimize battery type and size to a product's intended operation
• Determine the actual battery life in a product or design
• Quantify the various tradeoffs in design for different battery technologies

Using the latest test equipment including the Agilent 6631D and Device Characterization software, Percept's testing experts help companies understand and optimize battery performance to meet their specifications and customer expectations.
