Battery Monitoring

Batteries within any uninterruptible power supply or emergency lighting system are perhaps the most essential and integral part to allow your backup power system to function as expected. Secure Power offers 24/7 battery monitoring solutions, which provide continual updates and notifications on the health of your batteries. As well as many other features, battery monitoring will provide data on:

• Individual battery voltage, impedance and temperature
• String current and string voltage
• Ambient temperature
• Power fluctuations
• Power anomalies

The data is logged and recorded, allowing users to view current battery health as well as trends in the data over time. Analysing the data and responding accordingly is often the key to allowing users to pre-empt and prevent battery failure before it happens. A chain is often only as strong as its weakest link, and this is true for UPS batteries. One faulty battery is capable of compromising and lowering the performance of an entire string, highlighting the importance of individual battery monitoring.

The benefits of battery monitoring are numerous, not least increasing battery longevity and efficiency. Being able to monitor and prevent battery faults before they occur is often crucial to future savings and a lower overall total cost of UPS ownership, as proactive battery replacements can be future planned and included within budgets and business strategy. Whilst battery monitoring is crucial to understanding the overall condition of a UPS, it is strongly advised that the monitoring solution is purchased as part of a wider Secure Power maintenance plan. The monitoring can be implemented both remotely from our office and also on-site, and when included as part of a Secure Power service agreement, we will ensure that your business is protected from any loss of power.
