25
Management Controller alarms.
Charge Test When the Battery
Management System applied
a test current, the batteries
listed in the alarm message
showed a higher than
acceptable percentage
deviation from the previous
“benchmarked” values (which
are reset after any
discharge).
Problem: A percentage deviation
outside the acceptable range indicates
unexplained changes that indicate the
need to verify possible problems with the
battery.
Response: Identify the listed batteries
immediately so that system backup time
is not reduced. Test and verify status of
the identified batteries immediately.
Pilot
Temperature
s
Sampling of the surface
temperature of one battery in
the string showed a
temperature above the
configured threshold.
Default:
95° F (35° C) (high
threshold).
Problem: A high temperature alarm may
indicate an overheated (overcharged)
battery, usually caused by a faulty
charger.
Response: If uncorrected, this condition
can cause permanent damage to the
batteries. Replace failed batteries.
