Battery-backed DC power systems are vital in supporting electricity and oil and gas production and distribution. These applications are at risk of costly or catastrophic outages if AC power fails and backup batteries do not operate properly. Yet, many of these sites are remote, in harsh environmental settings, and subject to infrequent maintenance, further accentuating the risk of failed batteries. Until now, automatic detection weak batteries before an AC outage at these sites was not economically feasible.

 

SENS now offers industry-first capability to deliver automatic battery checking, monitoring and site data logging in an easy to use integrated package. This capability was previously only available by purchasing multiple products costing 4 to 10 times as much and which required specialized personnel to install and interpret. Now, SENS’ industry-first capability delivers fully automatic battery checking and system data logging in an easy-to-use battery charger at a price point that is affordable for utilities, pipeline operators and process plants. .
