Computerized battery log

Abstract

A novel system designed for maintenance of stationary batteries is described. Technical specifications and functions of the system are discussed and the operating experiences gained from the use of the system at the Helsinki Telephone Company over a period of three years are described. The battery maintenance system incorporates a portable measuring and data logging unit and a program package for battery data analysis on a PC/XT and AT compatible microcomputer. A matrix or laser printer can be used for printing reports.<>
