Description / Abstract:
This guide discusses operational parameters that may be observed
by battery monitoring equipment used in stationary applications,
and the relative value of such observations. Although this guide
does not give a listing of commercially available systems, it does
provide a means for establishing specifications for the desired
parameters to be monitored.
Purpose
Today's critical backup power environments have created a need
for reliable monitoring of stationary batteries to determine the
current state of health (SOH) of these systems. This guide will
define various parameters for battery monitoring that will provide
useful information to aid in the ongoing maintenance and potential
replacement of these batteries. In addition, other areas affecting
battery monitoring, including intermittent charging, communication
interface, security, and operating environments, are also addressed
in this guide.
