BACS/Generex Battery Monitoring System

• Unmatched 5-year VRLA Battery warranty with BACS

1.-BACS/Generex Battery Monitoring System

The BACS/Generex Battery Monitoring System monitors continuously your mission critical batteries and securely collects detailed data on battery performance and health status; it is cost effective and easy to install. The BACS/Generex system is comprised of two main components: the BACS module and the WebManager. The BACS module is installed on each battery and polls: Voltage (continuously) Impedance (once a day) Temperature of each battery (continuously) The BACS/Generex Battery Monitoring & Conditioning System Provides monitoring of key battery parameters, warnings and alarms indicative of a failing battery or a thermal runaway Provides "Equalization/Balancing" with tight floating voltage control of each battery (nominal voltage +/-.01V) Which prevents overcharging & undercharging Extends battery service life expectancy to 7-10 years (for 10 years rated VRLA's)and to 15-20 years (for flooded batteries and fot 20 years rated VRLA's) Allows to replace only failing batteries as needed Allows Mix and Match of new and old batteries within the same string No more full string replacement or premature battery replacement Is complemented by the BACS team of battery experts which offers unlimited support and notification in advance of battery trends that may result in failure. Your operation is assured of 100% uptime. Includes "Managed Services" w/ alarms, notification, escalation & battery asset management Saves end-users substantial cash flow over PM's or passive battery monitoring systems (see case study below on 3000 VRLA's - $2.5M savings w/ the BACS system)

Overcharging (dryout) and undercharging (sulfation) are the main causes of battery degradation and premature replacement in UPS Systems UPS rectifiers control the overall DC voltage of the battery strings but do not control the float voltage of each battery overtime some batteries will get overcharged and will degrade prematurely (due to dryout in VRLA's) overtime some batteries will get undercharged and will suffer sulfation, degradation, loss of capacity and premature failure (VRLA's and wet cells) overcharging and undercharging lead to premature replacement of the entire strings (3-5 years for VRLA, 12-13 years for wet cells) White paper from Dr. Krein: Controlling and maintaining the float voltage of each battery within the string extends the service life of the batteries BACS controls the float voltage of each battery each battery float voltage is maintained at 13.6V +/-0.1V or better (VRLA's) each cell float voltage is maintained at 2.25V +/-0.01V or better (wet cells) no more overcharging nor undercharging no premature degradation nor need to replace the entire string(s) old and new batteries can cohabit within the string with no negative effect only failing batteries are ever replaced BACS your monitoring & battery life extension solution daily polling and trending analysis of every battery and string, including battery voltage, resistance and temperature detects trends, failing battery and sends an alarm reduces battery maintenance cost, extends battery life for maximum ROI allows new and old batteries within the same string with no negative effects only failing batteries are replaced - replacing the entire string is no more needed major savings over PM's and over conventional/passive battery monitoring systems [Request a quote] [BACS Free Trial Request] [Unmatched 5-year VRLA Battery warranty with BACS]
