VIPER Ride Charity Receives Donations from Eagle Eye

Protecting those who have protected us!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin- On Wednesday, June 8^th, Eagle Eye Power Solutions presented a $500 check towards the VIPER Ride charity organization. The check was presented at the House of Harley motorcycle dealership at 6221 W. Layton Ave. in Greenfield, Wisconsin. Dave Carlson, Finance Commander and Nellie Oman, Finance Co-Chair (both pictured above) were able to accept the donation on behalf of their organization.

The word “VIPER” in their organization, stands for Visually Impaired Patriots Experiencing the Road. There are over 132,000 blind veterans across the globe. 22 out of those 132,000 veterans commit suicide every day from depression, as a result of their feelings of isolation from being blind. The VIPER Ride aims to provide those veterans with an opportunity to go on 100+ mile motorcycle rides on Wisconsin’s best cycling roads. The event will bring excitement, joy and liveliness back to the veterans and bring awareness to their cause. Throughout the event, there will be rest stops filled with refreshments and a social event that includes meals and entertainment, sure to be fun for the whole family!  

The VIPER Ride will take place this year on August 21, 2016. Additional donations and volunteers are still greatly needed to reach the organization’s goals. To learn more about the event/organization, or how to volunteer/donate please visit: http://www.theviperride.org/.

Real-Time Battery Electrolyte Level Monitoring

Non-invasive system for Flooded Batteries

ELM-Series Monitor

Eagle Eye Power Solutions is introducing the ELM-Series Electrolyte Level Monitoring System that monitors the electrolyte level and temperature of individual flooded batteries The ELM-Series is non-invasive and is applicable to any flooded battery regardless of voltage and amp-hour. Save time and money by continuously monitoring electrolyte levels and eliminating the need for periodic testing and battery maintenance!

How does the ELM-Series Work?  

The ELM-Series Battery Electrolyte Level Monitor will work for any flooded battery system. Each model will include (1) ELM-Monitor and as many sensors required to connect to each jar / cell. (ex: A 60 Cell system will have 60 Sensors and 1 Monitor). Utilizing low-cost, easy-to-install sensors, the system will alarm on low electrolyte level or higher than normal temperature. The sensors are simply and securely attached to each individual jar.

In the condition of a low electrolyte or temperature alarm, the sensors communicate to the system monitor and the system monitor activates a changeover relay output while simultaneously activating the appropriate alarm LED lights. The LED light will indicate either 'low electrolyte level' or 'jar over-temperature'. In the event that 4 or more jars fall to an alarm level, the monitor will trigger a group alarm in addition to the single jar alarm.

ELM-Series Sensors Connected to Battery Jars

Advantages of Monitoring Electrolyte Levels:

• Continuous monitoring provides real-time battery protection - saving time & money!
• Eliminate the need for scheduled periodic testing & maintenance 
• Avoid user-errors and safety-risks
• Easy-to-install, non-invasive system: No Site Surveys required! 
• Four alarm contacts for external alarming
• Can easily be integrated into any facilities management or alarm system
• The ELM-Series will comply with NERC PRC-005-2 guidelines that require electrolyte level monitoring for Utilities

New Battery Voltage & Ground Fault Monitors

Introducing the VGM-Series!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – (March 2015) Eagle Eye Power Solutions released a new line of battery voltage & ground fault monitors to complement their existing battery monitoring and testing solutions. The VGM-Series is Eagle Eye's newest line of continuous battery monitoring systems --- designed to monitor battery string voltage and ground faults in real-time. The VGM-Series is an inexpensive, user-friendly solution that has a simplistic design for monitoring 24V, 48V, 125V, and 250V batteries.

Why Monitor for Voltage & Ground Faults? 

VGM-Series Voltage & Battery Ground Fault Monitor

Battery voltage monitoring will provide critical battery cell protection and ensure the longevity of the battery system. Over voltage can lead to overcharging and overheating of the batteries, which can cause irreversible cell destruction. Under voltage will also cause irreversible battery damage if left uncorrected.  Battery ground faults can be difficult to locate and may create catastrophic and costly damage if they remain undetected. The entire battery system will be compromised and subject itself to overheating, thermal runaway, and reduced battery capacity.

Continuous voltage & ground fault monitoring will eliminate those risks, and allow for immediate corrective action - protecting the integrity of your battery system. 

VGM-100 Battery Voltage & Ground Fault Dual Monitor
The VGM-100 Battery Voltage & Ground Fault Monitor is an all-in-one solution for simplistic battery monitoring. The unit reads battery status, detects out-of-limit conditions and provides alarm conditions at user settings. Includes four Form C Contacts.

Car Batteries Could Fix a Flaw in the Energy Market

How would you like to have a car battery for your business? Unless your business is involved in delivery or taxi services, you may question why you would need one. Coda Holdings is challenging this notion. According to a New York Times article in late January, Coda Holdings is planning to sell its electric car batteries to businesses in the hope of taking advantage of a flaw in the energy market. If they succeed, it could mean bigger savings for businesses and less carbon emissions for the planet.

There are many ways that batteries and battery monitoring systems can help businesses stay in power when something goes wrong. Many businesses and data centers employ uninterruptible power systems to avoid a blackout, and these systems are dependent on batteries that are carefully monitored to avoid a catastrophe. Coda is hoping to take this idea and extend it to solar and wind power.

One of the biggest problems with solar and wind power sources is unreliability. If there is no wind or sun, there is no power. Oftentimes, during a lag period, batteries are used. However, power companies also use spinning reserves – plants that are continually idle to go off at a moment's notice – to protect against the variable nature of the energy source. This process releases a large amount of carbon monoxide emissions into the air.

If all goes well, batteries could replace the spinning reserves and help protect the environment and save businesses money.

Battery Monitoring Systems Keeps Your Power Grid Up to Date

In today's world, information and media is attainable so easily. Scouring through the library is no longer as necessary to conduct research. You can do most of that online on electronic databases and through Google Books or other free periodical and book solutions. While you're on your phone, you can access documents from your Dropbox account as you're watching an episode of Dr. Who on Netflix. If you have an internet connection through your pc or your mobile device, you should never have a problem accessing information.

Because of this ease of access through technology whether it is for research, entertainment, or anything else, there is no excuse to not be caught up on information pertinent to your system. Just because you're not in your office, you should know if something is wrong with your power grid. A delay in action could result in time and money lost. If you want battery monitoring systems that will keep you up to date on information and alerts related to your power source, consider a BMS/i-com battery monitoring system.

With a BMS/i-com, you don't have to worry about not being in the loop. You will be able to monitor your system in real-time 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If there is ever a problem with your system or an outage of any kind, you will be the first to know. A SMS will be sent to the administrator of the system so that they know what exactly is going on and when. We are an information rich society that has the advantage of accessing it anywhere on a few different devices. If you don't know what is going on with your power grid from the status of your battery to immediate real-time events that need to be addressed right away, you don't have the right battery monitoring system in place.

Protect Your Heart With Lycopene; Protect Your Battery With Battery Monitoring.

If there was something wrong with your heart, you would want to know it right away, right? The heart does give small indications that it’s in trouble like chest pains or shortness of breath, but by then it could already be too late. If you knew in advance that there was a slight problem, which could lead to a much greater problem down the road, you would most likely do something to fix it. That’s why we have blood tests, EKGs, and regular check-ups. The heart is the life force of your body. In an electrical system, the battery is the energy source. Shouldn’t you take precaution to protect that just like you would your heart?

A battery can wear over time, and like your heart, needs maintenance and monitoring. Battery monitoring is crucial to the overall performance of a battery because it will let you know when something is amiss. Then you can perform the various measures to fix or replace the battery to ensure that your electrical system does not fail you. Your battery monitoring systems should be available to monitor your batteries 24/7, as problems don’t take off for nights, weekends, and holidays. Luckily, we here at Eagle Eye Power Solutions have you covered.

We offer several battery monitoring systems from our IBwatch-series including the Telecom-BMS/I-COM and Utility/UPS-IPQM that are fit to making sure your batteries stay in top shape. These products operate 24 hours a day and can be accessed by a remote computer, so you’ll know the second something is wrong.  Like the heart, prevention and maintenance is the best way to not incurring major problems down the road. Protect your batteries today with battery monitoring.
