In a mission critical system, relying on the protection of a UPS and battery bank, battery monitoring is essential to keep operations running smoothly. In recent years, battery monitoring has become an integral part of system continuity strategy for all organizations with medium to large UPS systems. Having a battery monitoring system that constantly monitors that the batteries (State Of Health) brings a lot of advantages.

Battery performance degrades with age. Unforeseen problems such as corrosion in the connections, heat and improper maintenance might cause the battery voltage to drop under load just when it’s really needed. The failure of one battery can cause the entire system to fail and will also cause deterioration of other batteries.

The optimum battery monitoring solution for a typical UPS installation would be a system permanently wired into the battery and capable of measuring at least the voltage and ohmic value. It should look at voltage and ohmic value daily so you get early warning of impending failure. The more you know about your batteries, and the more detailed and current that information is, the better is your chances of averting disaster. Below is our recommended criteria for a battery monitoring system: Individual cell/jar/monoblock voltage during float. Individual cell/jar/monoblock voltage during discharge. Total string voltage. Individual cell ohmic value (including inter-cell link resistance). Discharge current. Charge current. Individual cell temperature. Ambient temperature. 24 x 7 monitoring
