scope:

This guide discusses operational parameters that may be observed by battery monitoring equipment used in stationary applications, and the relative value of such observations. Although this guide does not give a listing of commercially available systems, it does provide a means for establishing specifications for the desired parameters to be monitored.

Purpose

Today's mission-critical environment has created a need for unmanned surveillance systems for stationary batteries. This guide will propose parameters for battery surveillance to achieve useful information for maintenance and replacement purposes. Because communications will play an issue with remote applications, a description of typical arrangements will provide additional insight.
