RECO’s battery cell monitors collect data such as the temperature and voltage from individual battery cells or battery strings enabling customers to effectively manage an unlimited number of batteries, and proactively target site maintenance.
This helps operators identify a deteriorating battery cell prior to damage to the rest of the battery cell bank. They are customizable with a web-based user interface for viewing historical data to identify bad or deteriorating cells. Additionally, the battery cell monitors estimate the remaining battery capacity based on amp-hours consumed, discharge current temperature, and battery age. It also estimates the remaining runtime based on battery capacity and average load over a period of time.
