Not All Heroes Wear Capes - Some Monitor Your Batteries
Every great superhero has one thing in common: they work tirelessly behind the scenes, preventing disasters before they happen. Superheros don’t demand attention, they don’t need constant care, and yet—they save the day when it matters most.
In the world of critical infrastructure, there’s one unsung hero that fits this description: a Battery Monitoring System (BMS).
Low Maintenance, High Reward
Like the best superheroes, a BMS doesn’t require much to stay operational. Once installed, it silently and efficiently monitors your backup power systems, ensuring they’re always ready for action. PTI recommends one annual preventative maintenance (PM) check per year but other than that, there is no excessive upkeep—just reliable, 24/7 protection.
Once installed on your batteries, PTI ensures your system is working correctly and then you’re off to the races receiving constant updates.
Early Warnings: The Power of Knowing
Every hero needs a way to detect trouble before it escalates. Your BMS is equipped with advanced alerts, alarms, and reporting capabilities, allowing it to spot potential battery failures before they happen. In most cases, we see a single battery fail and that battery causes the entire string to fail. If you had a BMS, the system would alert you to that single battery issue well in advance so you could replace just that one battery. Saving you time, money, and a big headache down the road. Instead of waiting for a catastrophic string failure, get early warnings, so you can act before disaster strikes.
Your Control Center: Real-Time Alerts
Imagine having Ironman’s surveillance system, giving you a clear, real-time view of everything happening behind the scenes. A BMS provides detailed analytics and reporting, helping facility managers make informed decisions about maintenance and replacement—without the guesswork. Set recurring reports, alerts, escalation alerts and utilize other helpful reporting features to know what exactly is happening with your batteries.?
A BMS works on any battery type and are highly recommended when facilities are remote or unmanned (like Telecom locations). With an unmanned site, your company has to pay to send a technician to perform any maintenance checks. But with a BMS your technician can remotely login and verify the system is running perfectly, preventing a costly trip.?
A Silent Guardian of Your Critical Systems
Unlike traditional maintenance methods that require manual testing and frequent inspections, a BMS is always on duty, protecting your facility’s power supply without disrupting daily operations. It ensures that when the unexpected happens—whether it’s a storm, a power failure, or a grid issue—your backup power is ready to step in seamlessly.
Data center batteries can be a forgotten hero within the facility. They're expected to work when an issue occurs and then forgotten.... until an event occurs and a battery fails. With a BMS you always know what is happening with your batteries ensuring your charger or UPS never experiences any downtime.?
The Hero Your Facility Deserves
A Battery Monitoring System is your facility’s silent protector, its watchful guardian—a true superhero of reliability and efficiency. Investing in a BMS isn’t just about compliance or convenience; it’s about ensuring uninterrupted operations and preventing costly failures.
Speaking of compliance, a BMS can help utility companies achieve NERC compliance. Check out our blog about achieving NERC compliance with a Generex battery monitoring system.?
