Background
Lead-acid batteries remain the dominant choice for backup power in telecom base stations, data centers, and industrial UPS across the Middle East.
However, undetected cell degradation, internal resistance increase, and temperature imbalance often lead to sudden battery failure, causing unexpected downtime and costly emergency replacements.
Pain & Value
Your Pain Points
Unexpected battery failure disrupts core business continuity and increases operational expenditure.
High total cost of ownership due to frequent whole‑string replacements and manual site visits.
Manual voltage/temperature checks are time‑consuming and cannot detect internal resistance rise before failure.
Our Acrel Value
ABAT100 provides real-time SOC/SOH and early failure warning, enabling predictive replacement and reducing OPEX.
Low‑power, long-life monitoring modules extend battery life and allow single‑cell replacement only – lowering TCO.
Automated internal resistance measurement (automatic test cycle) and remote access eliminate manual checks and catch degradation early.
Solution
ABAT100 Series VRLA Battery Monitoring System
Perception Layer
ABAT100‑S single battery modules (for 2V/6V/12V) measure voltage, internal resistance and negative terminal temperature per cell. ABAT100‑C monitors string current (Hall sensor up to 1000A) and ambient temperature.
Convergence Layer
ABAT100‑HS collector manages up to 120 single modules per string, calculates SOC/SOH, stores historical data, and provides RS485 (Modbus RTU) output.
Application Layer
Local touchscreen HMI (7″/10″) displays real‑time data, alarms, trend charts, and allows parameter setting. Optional integration with Acrel EMS or EIOT cloud for centralized multi‑site monitoring.
The ABAT100 system enables 24/7 online monitoring of each battery’s voltage, internal resistance, temperature, and string current.
It provides early failure alerts, automatic resistance testing, and historical trend analysis – turning passive backup batteries into actively managed assets.

Typical Application Scenarios
Thousands of remote base stations across Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iraq rely on lead‑acid batteries for 4‑8 hour backup. ABAT100 monitors each battery’s internal resistance and temperature remotely, reducing expensive truck rolls and preventing unexpected site outages.
Data centers in Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha require Tier III/IV availability. ABAT100 provides real‑time string voltage, current, and individual cell data with SOC/SOH estimation, enabling predictive maintenance and compliance with strict uptime requirements.
In off‑grid or hybrid solar applications (e.g., remote desalination plants, rural telecom), lead‑acid batteries cycle frequently. ABAT100 tracks charge/discharge current and cell temperature, preventing premature failure caused by partial state‑of‑charge (PSOC) operation.
Industrial facilities in Jubail, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar require high‑reliability backup for process control systems. ABAT100’s automatic internal resistance testing and remote alarm ensure battery health without interrupting operations.
