Sealed batteries are sensitive to temperature and float voltage settings. Monitoring these conditions can considerably extend useful battery life.

An Albér battery monitor provides the user with detailed information, allowing for cost savings by optimizing useful battery life. Instead of waiting for an inevitable failure or replacing batteries prematurely to prevent problems, you can continue to utilize your batteries longer and with confidence by knowing their true internal condition.

It is essential to detect deterioration at an early stage to prevent catastrophic failures when dealing with 12 volt sealed batteries. This makes measurement technology the most important consideration when selecting a monitoring system. Other battery monitors’ internal ohmic readings become inconsistent as the UPS load varies because of variations in AC ripple on the battery. The Albér DC resistance test method is not influenced by ripple and thus provides data that is repeatable and reflects the true condition of the battery.
