Gain visibility into your Lithium standby batteries past, present and future with PowerShield8

PowerShield8 for Lithium is our latest innovation in battery monitoring technology. Designed specifically for lithium standby batteries, this advanced system delivers valuable insight into the health, performance, and status of your critical power assets.

We’ll explore the key features of PowerShield8 for Lithium and why it's set to become an essential tool for battery asset managers who demand the highest standards of reliability and operational efficiency in their facilities.

PowerShield8 for Lithium - a comprehensive monitoring solution

PowerShield8 for Lithium is designed to augment your existing Lithium Battery Management System (BMS), providing an integrated view of all battery assets, no matter their chemistry. This advanced system connects a PowerShield8 controller to each string of Lithium battery modules through the BMS, enabling precise sampling, analysis, and storage of critical battery data.

Monitoring Lithium batteries effectively requires faster data sampling, enhanced processing power, and increased data storage compared to traditional Lead Acid or NiCad batteries. To meet these demands, PowerShield8 introduces the new LX+ Controller, capable of managing up to 12 strings of Lithium battery modules with exceptional efficiency.

The real strength of PowerShield8 lies in its advanced battery monitoring software, which offers a comprehensive suite of dashboards, reports, and analytical tools. These features give you the ability to track the status of each connected battery asset down to the individual cell level, ensuring you can quickly address any issues that might impact performance.

What our customers are saying about Lithium standby batteries

PowerShield’s customers, including leading blue-chip companies with critical power facilities worldwide, demand the highest uptime and stringent battery management standards. Many of these organisations have relied on PowerShield8 for years to provide visibility and control over their VRLA, VLA, and NiCad batteries. However, when it comes to Lithium batteries, they often feel left in the dark, unable to see their batteries in sufficient detail.

Customers accustomed to the comprehensive monitoring and detailed insights provided by PowerShield8 for other battery chemistries have found that the visibility with Lithium batteries doesn’t quite measure up. For managers charged with ensuing the longevity and reliable performance of Lithium standby batteries this lack of transparency has left them uneasy, especially when trying to meet the demanding requirements for battery warranty claims, where detailed reporting is essential.

Not only that, but large enterprises are often wary of becoming too dependent on a single UPS company or battery OEM, especially in a competitive and rapidly changing industry. They need solutions that offer flexibility and independence from any one technology or supplier.

PowerShield8 for Lithium directly addresses these concerns, delivering the same level of visibility, control, and ease of reporting that our customers have come to expect — regardless of the battery chemistry or manufacturer. With PowerShield8, they regain the confidence and control they need to maintain the highest standards in battery management for their critical power facilities.

PowerShield8 for Lithium - the future of advanced battery management

PowerShield8 for Lithium provides battery management teams with the comprehensive visibility and control they need to confidently manage their Lithium standby batteries. By filling the gaps, PowerShield8 ensures that every aspect of your lithium battery’s health is monitored and analysed, providing actionable insights that drive better performance, reliability, and compliance. Whether you’re managing a single facility or multiple sites globally, PowerShield8 for Lithium stands as the ultimate solution for maintaining the highest battery management standards in today’s highly dynamic, critical power environments.
