Remote sites powered only by Solar Power Systems where no AC is available depend on reliable batteries. However, batteries have an operational lifespan that can be reduced by environmental factors. Ventev’s Battery Test Remote Monitor (BTRM) performs automatic battery load tests and sends exception reports via SNMP, text or email using Ethernet or DNP3 communication protocols. The BTRM continuously assesses the actual battery voltage independent of the charger voltage (float voltage) which is the most reliable method for battery testing.
