g. Analyze the voltage measurements in the graph shown. The graph is a snapshot in time. If all
your batteries are running properly, the voltage readings should be fairly consistent.
The graph below represents a battery system with inconsistent voltage readings. With battery
systems that have not had regular maintenance, this is not uncommon. Debugging must occur to
find out why the voltage readings are so erratic. Contact BTECH for assistance or your battery
service provider for service.
h. Click on the ohm symbol to display impedance readings.
Again, the graph below shows fairly inconsitent impedance readings, a sign that the battery
system needs maintenance.
i. Scroll over a diamond with the mouse on the graph to see which unit is not healthy.
j. Go to the battery named and measure the voltage across it to see if is performing properly. If it
is not normal, replace or repair the battery. For more diagnostic information, see the section titled
Looking for Battery Alarms.
