ISO-9001: 2000 Certified Our commitment to excellence is tangible. All of our processes, most importantly our battery assembly processes, have been carefully designed over many years, are documented, and are available for customer inspection. We are audited and certified every six months by the International Standards Organization. The quality of our assembly, administrative and logistical services is world class. Industry-First Warranty & Failure Analysis We are an industry leader. Like other electronic components, batteries do occasionally perform below specification. Many years ago, we decided that battery manufacturers' warranties were not enough. For most custom battery assemblies, we offer a one year warranty -- a first in the industry. More importantly, for most of our customers, we put any failed or under-performing battery though a comprehensive engineering analysis in our lab. Invariably, we are able to accurately determine the root cause of the problem, whether responsibility lies with the manufacturer, ourselves, or our customer. This analysis adds substantial value by helping all parties to prevent problems in the future. Award Winning Battery Management Program Unlike most electronics, batteries have a limited shelf life -- like a carton of milk -- care must be taken to preserve performance. Even Global 2000 companies may find that their own inventory and technical capabilities are not well suited for batteries. So, for many customers, we manage their battery inventories. We test batteries on receipt, recharge during storage, dispose of under-performing cells, and boost charge just before shipping. We track each battery and provide detailed reports. We maximize the life of our customers' batteries while assuring availability for a critical component. Global Field Replacement Program Batteries reach end of life -- they can no longer be counted on to perform to specification and must be replaced. Even for companies with robust logistical partners, replacing hundreds or thousand of batteries in the field can be a daunting challenge. Presented with a mixture of technical and logistical issues and customer relationship risks, many companies elect to outsource to Rose.
