Up to eight strings of 256 cells per string. Up to 6 DCM-480 units per string
Benefits:
Each Alber BDS-256XL Battery Monitoring System continuously diagnoses all critical battery parameters such as cell voltage, overall string voltage, current and temperature. Automatic periodic tests of the batteries internal resistance will verify the operating integrity of the battery. If resistance values exceed set thresholds, the user can take the proactive action of replacing the bad battery before it affects the others in the string, or before it causes complete string failure.
By tracking internal resistance, the system can predict and report failing conditions prior to complete failure. A time-to-go estimate algorithm, which uses discharge parameters and internal resistance readings, assists in predicting remaining battery life.
Interface to the Albér BDS-256XL is done with the Battery Monitor Data Manager software package. The Battery Monitor Report Generator software creates reports from collected data.
