Battery Management & Monitoring Solutions

Improper battery maintenance is the number one cause of load loss. Designed to minimize this risk, Eaton UPSs feature battery management and monitoring solutions to take the guesswork out of battery maintenance and increase system reliability:

ABM Technology

Data based upon tests performed by an independent battery manufacturer.

Most UPS batteries on the market today are constantly “trickle-charged,” a process that degrades the battery’s internal chemical composition and reduces potential battery service life by as much as 50 percent.

In contrast, Eaton's exclusive ABM technology uses sophisticated sensing circuitry and an innovative three-stage charging technique that extends the useful service life of UPS batteries while optimizing the battery recharge time.

ABM technology also provides up to 60 days’ notice of the end of useful battery service life to allow you ample time to hot swap batteries without ever having to shut down connected equipment.

ABM technology is available for the Eaton 5115, 5125, 9130, 9155, 9170+, 9355, 9390, and 9395 UPS models.

Cellwatch

A state-of-the-art battery monitoring system designed specifically for large (three-phase) UPSs, Cellwatch utilizes the latest fiber optic technology to provide rapid, noise-free transmission of information. The modular system continuously monitors the entire battery system, including string and cell level voltage, internal resistance, current and temperature throughout the charge, discharge, and float periods.

Cellwatch provides immediate warnings of deterioration and imminent failure of batteries, and identifies any individual battery that exhibits problems—providing a proactive approach to ensuring UPS reliability. In addition, this monitoring system allows battery replacement to be based on the battery’s condition, not simply on how long it’s been in use, helping avoid premature and unnecessary replacement.

Cellwatch includes a one-year corrective maintenance coverage on parts and labor and a 24-hour hotline for technical support. An optional comprehensive service plan is also available.
