UPS battery management

The RiBat battery management system is designed to extend the life of UPS batteries used in IT infrastructure, with a claimed service life improvement of up to 30%.

The system includes two components — the RiBAT manager and the RiBat module. The module controls the charging process for each battery connected, which prevents overcharging, thereby extending the service life of the battery. Up to 250 modules can be joined using pre-assembled cabling and connected to the RiBat Manager.

Over the service life of the monitored battery the manager unit collects all relevant data such as battery voltage, internal resistance, discharge curve and temperature. The data can then be evaluated and used to control the charging process. At the same time, it enables each individual battery to be charged optimally.

Defective batteries can be detected in good time and, if needed, be rehabilitated without necessitating an expensive replacement. It also allows preventive maintenance of the batteries to be conducted, which reduces the cost per service deployment and ultimately improves IT availability.
