What are Ohmic Measurements?

A battery's ability to deliver power is limited to its internal resistance characteristics. These resistance properties, commonly called "Ohmic Metrics", are widely accepted as a leading indicator of a battery's state-of-health, as well as a predictor of how close the battery is to end-of-life.

How Does the PowerAgent Transponder Perform Ohmic Measurements ?

The basic technology is based on Phoenix Broadband's field-proven Battery Management System. This system consists of a series of individual battery monitoring sensors which are managed by an intelligent Site Control Unit.

In the PowerAgent Transponder implementation of Ohmic Measurements, a similar sensor is attached to the terminals of each battery in the OSP power supply, but the Site Control Unit is eliminated and its intelligent functionality is performed by the PowerAgent transponder. In addition to making continuous predictive measurements about each battery's state-of-health, the battery sensors also feature Phoenix Broadband's exclusive Intelligent Battery Equalization, virtually eliminating battery-to-battery voltage variations when batteries are operated in a series string.

What Can Ohmic Measurements and Battery Equalization Do For Me?

Previous standby-supply status monitoring systems provided information that is "reactive" at best -you would know about a problem only after it occurred. With Phoenix Broadband's Ohmic Measurement technology, it is now possible to predict battery failures before they actually occur, and our Intelligent Equalization can actually add years to your battery life
