Why monitor UPS batteries?
A developing battery issue isn’t always obvious
Your UPS relies on every battery in the string. Between maintenance visits, a battery can start to deteriorate without any visible sign. Monitoring keeps watch, so changes can be found and investigated.
Every battery looks the same
A developing issue may not show until the next test.
One battery is flagged
A change in condition is identified and can be investigated.
Identify developing issues
See changes in individual batteries that may need investigating.
Improve visibility
Give facilities and IT teams one clear view of battery condition.
Better-informed maintenance
Use condition data to plan testing, investigation and battery replacement.
How it works
How battery monitoring works
Sensors fitted to your batteries feed a monitoring system that watches for change, so your team knows when to look and where.
-
Monitor
Sensors collect condition data from the batteries.
-
Analyse
The system tracks battery condition and identifies changes over time.
-
Alert
Readings that need attention are highlighted.
-
Act
Your team or our technicians investigate and take the right action.

Critical infrastructure
Ongoing oversight of standby batteries at sites that must keep running.
BATTERY MONITORING
What battery monitoring gives you
Battery monitoring gives you greater visibility of what’s happening across your UPS battery system. Instead of relying solely on periodic checks, you can see developing issues and use that information to decide where further investigation is needed.
- Identify developing battery issues
- Track battery condition over time
- Focus investigation where it’s needed
- Support better-informed battery maintenance
- Experience across complete UPS systems
FAQs
Questions before you book
What is UPS battery monitoring?
A system that checks the condition of each battery in your UPS continuously and alerts you when something changes, so it can be investigated.
Can monitoring be added to an existing UPS installation?
It depends on your batteries and how they’re installed. We can review your installation and confirm the available options.
Does battery monitoring replace UPS maintenance?
No. Your UPS and batteries still need planned maintenance and testing. Monitoring helps focus that work where it’s needed.
What types of UPS batteries can be monitored?
It depends on the batteries and monitoring system. We’ll review your UPS battery installation and confirm the available options.
Can I see the monitoring systems working?
Yes. Book a demonstration to see the monitoring systems working and talk through your own UPS and batteries.
