Rittal Battery Manager RiBat; Longer Life for UPS Batteries
RiBat, the new management system for UPS system batteries, can extend battery life by up to 30 per cent. With this product Rittal is once again making a contribution to secure, efficient and highly available IT.
Herborn, 8 August 2008 - A highly available IT infrastructure without an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is inconceivable. So that the UPS can do its job properly, its batteries have to be ready for use at all times. Rittal, one of the world's leading suppliers of rack-based IT infrastructures, now offers the battery management system RiBat. This management system can extend the life of UPS batteries by 30 per cent and thus enhance the security and availability of IT systems. The management system comprises two components, the RiBat manager and the RiBat module. Up to 250 RiBat modules can be joined using pre-assembled cable and connected to the RiBat Manager.
Over the service life of the monitored battery the RiBat Manager collects all relevant data such as battery voltage, internal resistance, discharge curve and temperature. These data are evaluated and used to control the charging process. The RiBat Manager therefore enables each individual battery to be charged optimally.
The RiBat module controls the charging process for each battery connected. Thanks to this technology overcharging is prevented and therefore the service life of the battery is extended. All measured data can be recorded in the RiBat Manager and are then available for further evaluation. This means that defective batteries can be detected in good time and if need be rehabilitated without necessitating an expensive replacement. In addition, the RiBat Manager allows preventative maintenance of the batteries, which reduces the costs per service deployment and ultimately also improves the availability of the IT.
