Explosion Proof Battery Management System
Lead Acid and Nickel Cadmium batteries generate flammable hydrogen gas during the charging process. Various factors, including overcharging and excessive heat, can accelerate hydrogen production, leading to an elevated fire risk, explosion, and material deterioration.
In instances where ventilation within the battery room is inadequate, there exists likelihood of hydrogen accumulation. Adhering to the guidelines specified in the IEC60079-10-1 standard, the battery area is categorized as either Zone 1 or Zone 2 IIC T3. Consequently, all equipment installed in the battery room must be designed to meet the minimum requirements of IIC T3 as outlined in the IEC60079-14 standard.
CAPESERVE ENERGY Explosion Proof Battery Management System (ExBMS) integrates seamlessly with our resilient hardware devices, providing a dependable solution for monitoring and collecting battery data. Designed to meet the stringent flameproof Ex technique outlined in ATEX directives and the IECEx equipment certification scheme, our hardware devices are strategically installed in battery rooms and hazardous areas. This professional-grade solution ensures reliable data acquisition while offering intelligent software dashboards for comprehensive visualization.

Battery Management Software
Our battery management software is a window into the health and performance of your battery systems. It enables you to make informed decisions quickly and proactively. Bundled with our Explosion Proof Battery Management System, the software application manages the Controller and records all battery readings in its database for viewing, trending, and reporting.
Data is turned into actionable information in the form of alerts and dashboards. The software also sends key information to the control room and facility management systems. Available across sites and to multiple users, our software comes with no additional licensing or costs.
