Features of the System
Introduction
The APC Battery Management System provides automated monitoring of
large battery systems that supply backup for 120-, 240-, and 480-volt power
systems. The Battery Management System provides battery management
for nominal 2 V, 4 V, 8 V, or 12 V lead-acid batteries; or 1.2 V or 2.4 V nickel-
cadmium batteries.
The Battery Management System is controlled through a network interface
provided by a Network Management Card built into the master controller
(the first unit in a group of up to 6 total units). This card uses the open
standards Telnet, SSH, HTTP, SSL, RS-485 Modbus, RS-232 serial
connection, e-mail, and SNMP to manage the Battery Management
System.
