As electrification increases, the demands on power grids will continue to grow — and that means utilities will rely more and more on the resiliency that backup batteries provide. But to ensure these systems meet their performance needs, continuous visibility into the health and status of battery systems is a must. 

In this playbook, we examine how battery monitoring systems provide this visibility, providing the data you need to make informed maintenance decisions and keep your systems running reliably. After reading, you’ll understand how monitoring systems can improve your battery maintenance, including:

• Increasing battery reliability by flagging issues when they first arise  
• Supporting proactive maintenance by notifying utility staff of which batteries need service
• Streamlining compliance requirements by providing constant access to the necessary monitoring and alarming of key backup battery system parameters
