A battery monitoring system is a device that measures changes in battery current and terminal voltage during battery discharge and charging, automatically acquires test data, and issues timely alarms. Normally, the battery pack is connected to a rectifier for float charging, maintaining a fully charged state for unforeseen needs. After proper installation and completion of the initial charge and discharge test recharge, the battery pack is then connected to the DC power supply system for use.
Main functions of battery monitoring system
1. The remaining battery capacity can be estimated and the battery quality can be evaluated by discharging the battery for a short period of 5-10 minutes, which makes it easier for data center maintenance personnel to understand the battery status.
2. It has multiple alarm functions: it can issue alarms in a timely manner and stop discharging.
3. Monitor and record battery float charging and discharge status: Using the BCSU-120R, you can save yourself the trouble of testing and recording. It will automatically compile the collected data into various test curves - characteristic comparison chart, total voltage curve, individual cell voltage curve, voltage bar curve, memory data table, etc., which are clear at a glance. Moreover, it will automatically generate test reports that can be printed at any time.
4. It can record the entire battery pack undergoing long-term discharge online and measure the actual capacity of each battery.
Technical characteristics of battery monitoring system
1. Measurement function: It can measure and record the total voltage, total current, and voltage of each individual battery cell at any time (the measurement can be set to occur every 6-30 seconds).
2. Features float charging period recording function: It can record battery status during float charging and make "equalization charging" suggestions when appropriate (an external battery detector must be selected).
3. Abnormal alarm: An alarm will be issued when the battery pack voltage and temperature are abnormal.
4. The main unit can operate independently or multiple units can operate in parallel.
5. It can automatically calculate the remaining capacity to provide the remaining capacity of the battery pack.
6. Characteristic curves and characteristic comparison charts can be generated to determine the quality of the battery.
7. Recording function: It can record information such as battery pack voltage and current during float charging and charging/discharging.
