BTECH Battery Monitoring System

“In 1995 we purchased the B-Tech monitoring system for each of 5 UPS units with more than 300 batteries in the system for our corporate offices. Since their installation we have not had one battery related outage of an operating UPS unit. 

The B-Tech system has fore warned of more than 30 potential battery failures allowing us to replace batteries before they fail...The only way to know how your batteries are performing is to monitor their performance on weekly basis. B- Tech has provided flawless service in maintaining our battery back-up systems.” 

Ken Rheault, Consumers Energy

“BTECH’s Battery Monitoring Systems have proven to greatly reduce battery maintenance costs, extend the life of the batteries and virtually eliminate battery failure by being able to predict precisely which cells need to be replaced in advance. Based on our experience, I highly recommend BTECH Battery Monitoring Systems”
