Battery management features

The system enables you to do the following:

•Identify weak or defective batteries that need replacement.

•Optimize the charge state of batteries within a string by automated charging of individual batteries with a lower voltage. Charging these batteries causes the batteries with high voltage to normalize. All the batteries in the string become properly charged. This extends the useful life of overcharged batteries and achieves full capacity of undercharged batteries.

•Be alerted to alarm conditions that are displayed and logged to warn of battery system or Battery Management System conditions.
