BTECH Technical Advantages
With unique, patented technology and the largest installed
base, BTECH has developed an approach to battery monitoring, testing
and management based on long experience:
- No Discharge on Batteries - BTECH’s Pulsed DC Impedance
system does not discharge the batteries during the measurement
cycle. Other methods requires a significant discharge below open
circuit voltage to get an accurate reading. See the Voltage curves
below for comparison between BTECH and the leading competitor.
- With BTECH, you'll identify bad batteries earlier. BTECH’s
measurement method, using a test load of 2.5-10 Amps RMS, produces
results with a high signal to noise ratio and includes comprehensive
noise analysis and filtering. Result: Early identification of
possible trouble.
- BTECH's measurements are unaffected by AC ripple and line
noise and do not use AC ripple to measure impedance, which
is often claimed by competitors in their sales presentations and
white papers.
- Only BTECH systems use actual measured baselines for each
cell for alarms and trend analysis. As a result, only BTECH
can predict failing cells accurately with virtually no false alarms.
The consistency and accuracy of our systems have been proven in
real day to day applications.
- BTECH monitors at the single cell level wherever possible.
Never accept the jar or multi-cell level monitoring that others
offer to lower cost, especially with flooded (wet) cell or large
VRLA battery systems. In BTECH's view, no electronics have the
sensitivity to detect the small percentage changes in impedance
or voltage over multiple cells fast enough to provide the early-warning
capability you need.
- BTECH systems meet or exceed all IEEE recommendations for
battery monitoring, without the need for deep DC discharge
testing below the battery’s open circuit voltage.
- BTECH Installation Time and Cost Cut in Half - BTECH’s
factory engineered and manufactured wiring harnesses and simple
software configuration - with no dipswitches - eliminate costly
field system configuration.
- No Monitoring System is Safer to Install and Maintain. BTECH's
Unique Quick-Disconnect Safety Fuses speed battery replacements
and protect personnel during installation and maintenance.
- BTECH offers the most comprehensive software and reporting
package that lets you set up an instant remote monitoring
center. Comprehensive warranty reporting is also included.
