BATTERies, Monitoring SYSTEMS
and Battery energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Battery solutions across the board
-
Industrial batteries are the foundation of backup power systems, supporting UPS systems, emergency power applications, and critical infrastructure. Designed for long service life and dependable performance, today’s battery technologies provide consistent power during outages, transfers, and peak demand events.
We support multiple battery chemistries to meet the specific needs of each application, including VRLA and Lithium-Ion solutions.
-
Battery failures rarely happen without warning—if you’re watching closely. Battery Monitoring Systems provide real-time visibility into battery health, performance, and environmental conditions. By continuously monitoring voltage, temperature, impedance, and internal resistance, BMS solutions help identify weak or failing batteries before they impact system reliability.
Key benefits include:
Early detection of battery issues
Improved system reliability and safety
Reduced maintenance costs
Extended battery life
Battery monitoring transforms reactive maintenance into proactive asset management.
-
Battery Energy Storage Systems take energy management to the next level. BESS solutions store energy for use during outages, peak demand periods, or when utility power is constrained. They also play a growing role in load management, renewable energy integration, and grid support strategies.
BESS can help facilities:
Improve power resiliency and uptime
Reduce peak demand charges
Support sustainability and renewable initiatives
Enhance overall power quality and control
Whether deployed alongside renewable generation or as a standalone resiliency solution, BESS is a powerful tool for modern electrical infrastructure.
VLRA
VRLA batteries have long been the industry standard for UPS and standby power applications. They are sealed, maintenance-free batteries designed to deliver reliable performance in controlled environments.
Key advantages of VRLA batteries include:
Proven, widely accepted technology
Lower upfront cost compared to lithium-based systems
Simple integration with existing UPS infrastructure
Predictable performance for standby power applications
VRLA batteries remain a trusted solution for many facilities where cost, familiarity, and established maintenance practices are priorities.
Lithium-Ion
Lithium-Ion batteries represent the next evolution in energy storage technology. Increasingly used in UPS systems and BESS applications, lithium-based solutions offer higher energy density, longer life expectancy, and advanced performance capabilities.
Benefits of Lithium-Ion batteries include:
Longer service life and fewer replacements
Smaller footprint and lighter weight
Faster recharge times
Improved efficiency and thermal performance
Reduced total cost of ownership over the system lifecycle
Lithium-Ion batteries are ideal for facilities seeking space savings, extended runtimes, and long-term operational efficiency.
Battery Monitoring Systems
Power backup via batteries is only as reliable as the batteries themselves. Battery monitoring systems provide real-time visibility into the health, performance, and status of your batteries, ensuring your backup power is always ready when you need it most. By continuously tracking key metrics such as voltage, temperature, internal resistance, and state of charge, these systems can detect early signs of battery degradation and alert your team before a failure occurs. PowerLogics, Inc. offers advanced battery monitoring solutions that help businesses reduce maintenance costs, extend battery life, and maintain the reliability of their critical power infrastructure.

Cellwatch is the most comprehensive battery monitoring solution available and addresses all critical batteries in the power network. It can be installed on new or old batteries, and the modular design allows the system to fit applications of any size and configuration, including monitoring many separate battery systems simultaneously – UPS, switchgear, generator, communications equipment. With three core components, Cellwatch is the easiest battery monitoring system to install and to scale to any battery configuration.
-
Since batteries can fail in as little two days, Cellwatch is designed to protect you daily, not just when your scheduled preventive maintenance occurs. Cellwatch delivers prompt notification of your vulnerability – giving you peace of mind, ensuring business continuity and safeguarding company assets. Cellwatch often detects failures months before a battery would become an operating risk, and months before a technician might discover it during a quarterly maintenance check. Ensure your battery protection applications will work when you need them.
-
By knowing the health of your battery every day you can selectively replace only failing jars or cells, thereby saving money on battery replacement and maintenance. This also helps you prevent useful batteries from being destroyed, lessening the environmental impact of your operation. Cellwatch ROI Analysis
-
By automating the measurement of your battery health you eliminate the risk of human error and the dangerous and unreliable task of hand held testing. Cellwatch is TUV/CE listed and designed to minimize exposure to high-voltages by optically isolating our components. Cellwatch is IFC 608.3 and Uniform Fire Code (UFC) NFPA 1 compliant, meets UL 61010, supports IEEE 1491 and meets NERC PRC-005-2. A Green Solution

Daily monitoring of all battery types
UPS, generator, switchgear, communications gear, and other mission critical backup battery systems.Versatile measuring capability
One Cellwatch system is capable of simultaneously monitoring 1.2-16 volt jars/monoblocs.Fiber optic inter-connection system
Provides greater noise immunity and makes it inherently safer –eliminating high DC voltage exposure and eliminating the possibility of monitor induced battery ground faults.
Modular and scalable design
Simple to install and use. All system configurations use the same parts allowing for easy expansion or reconfiguration.Minimal test load
By implementing advanced filtering technology, we perfected the technology that allows Cellwatch to use an ultra-light test load to monitor the performance of every jar every day, without degrading the battery.Designed for reliability
Cellwatch is designed to last. Hundreds of systems installed over 25 years ago are still in place and accurately monitoring batteries.
Accurate and predictive
Using the best technology, Cellwatch virtually eliminates false positives and provides complete battery visibility so you can determine battery health and know precisely when a battery needs to be replaced.Easy to use interface
Cellwatch provides clear indication when a battery is at risk of failure. Alerts can be forwarded to personnel you select to ensure prompt action to remedy the problem.
