Editor's Notes
- Over the next few minutes, we will take a closer look at batteries deployed for backup power, their inherent problems, and the easy, yes easy solution for ensuring they work when needed. After all, isn’t that why you bought them in the first place? Batteries are an amazing creation and serve a thankless existence. If they work, they were supposed to. If they fail, they confirm the need to keep looking for an alternative for the incredibly important role of providing reliable backup power. Before we continue, let’s agree on something. If you neglect your batteries, they are not to blame when they fail; Your neglect is to blame. Don’t agree? Then why are so many others implementing such an easy solution, while you continue to hold onto decades old beliefs?
- The fact is, today’s battery monitoring systems protect your batteries, and therefore your total investment better and more affordably than ever before. If you haven’t researched battery monitoring in recent years, or if this is your first time looking into what is available…welcome! We are glad you are here. As we just mentioned, batteries are an amazing creation that perform a very valuable function. When an outage occurs, they are immediately on the front lines and are expected to perform brilliantly. However, they come with inherent problems that affect everything from budgets, to customer service and satisfaction, to the very safety of your workplace. Any one of these concerns is cause enough to ensure your batteries are properly and continuously monitored.
- Let’s face it, if the lights go out, and stay out, there will be a staff meeting to discover why and assess the losses. Eventually, the question will arise of why the backup batteries did not work. When batteries are properly maintained and trended, their imperfections will be identified and easily remedied. The result will be that you will have the full benefit of what is still the best means of backup power available. However, if you do nothing, do the minimal, do what you have always done, or choose a method that is “better than nothing”, you risk…well, everything. The point is, while there are several reasons why batteries could fail, there is an easy and affordable solution to ensure they succeed. That is a staff meeting you will want to attend.
- Speaking of risking everything, thermal runaway is the disaster that no one saw coming. Unless, of course, you look for it. And, why wouldn’t you look for it? Before you answer that question, picture yourself in that staff meeting we just talked about. Now, let’s remove, cost of the monitoring system, difficulty of use, and inability to decipher the battery data as reasons you can list. Why should we remove them as obstacles, when you have used them for so long? It’s simple; what I am telling you is they should be removed because they no longer exist. Let me tell you more.
- While thermal runaway is the thing you hope never happens, difficult and/or lost warranty claims happen all the time. You may believe you have great success with your claims, but for most companies, this is a frustrating task. What if, when you met with your battery representatives, you could simply side a complete set of detailed reporting, down to the cell level, across the desk and simply wait for the refund? Even further, what if in that same meeting you could compare that manufacturer’s performance to the other brands you use? That would make for a meaningful discussion, right?
- It is time for another admission. Your process for budgeting for replacement batteries is deeply flawed. The CFO is not a fan of your estimates. If you do not perform 24/7 state-of-health battery monitoring, you are replacing both batteries that have been long dead, or batteries that are still in good condition. In the first scenario of replacing dead batteries, frankly, you lucked out, and avoided that awkward, even accusatory staff meeting about expensive power outages. In the second scenario, replacing batteries with remaining service life is just bad budgeting that should never happen again. Batteries should be budgeted for with strong confidence, and only when needed. Every other method is wasteful.
- Let’s think remotely for a moment. There are sites that have backup batteries that will not be checked again after the cabinet door is closed. That has always just been the way it is, right? Yes. But, not anymore. Every previous obstacle to monitoring batteries at remote sites has been overcome. Cost? Solved. Remote monitoring can actually save on operational costs. Size? Solved. BatteryDAQ monitors are designed specifically for your applications. BatteryDAQ makes round pegs for round holes, so to speak. Data communication and user-friendly display of actionable data? This is a big one, and it has also been solved. Take control and view any and all sites for battery health, many times down to the cell level. Make decisions for maintenance before a technician visits the site. Set aside what you think you know and learn what is now available. It will be worth your time and your company’s protection.
- Whatever your application or configuration, BatteryDAQ provides a monitoring system that will improve your operational processes, protect your core business, and contribute to customer satisfaction. Just take a closer look. You have invested in backup batteries for a very good reason. Now, you must learn how to ensure they work when needed. Isn’t that the whole point?
