ENHANCED DATA VISUALIZATION
UNITE™ presents detailed views of all key performance indicators for each plant, string, and individual battery within your network. Various battery attributes (including voltage, temperature, conductance, strap resistance, and temperature-compensated conductance) can be selected and compared among batteries within the string for quick visualization of performance trends.
STATUS AT A GLANCE
Quickly review the status of your entire battery network with green (normal), yellow (warning), and red (alarm) status indicators at the plant, string, and individual battery level. Each alarm or warning status provides a direct link to a list of events for quick targeting and diagnosis of the problem area.
ADVANCED BATTERY DIAGNOSTICS
At the individual battery level, UNITE™ provides a diagnostic snapshot of all key battery heath indicators. Additionally, a historical timeline of all previous readings is displayed, allowing users to dive into any point in time to review details.
CENTRALIZE NETWORK OVERSIGHT
UNITE™ centralizes battery testing and monitoring data across multiple locations. Visualize your entire network on a single map and quickly key in on those that may require attention. UNITE™ enables stakeholders to monitor health and performance metrics from one platform for improved decision-making, maintenance prioritization, and overall system efficiency.
EMPLOY CONDITION-BASED MAINTENANCE
UNITE™ can help shift battery management from routine checks and reactionary maintenance to exception-based monitoring by sending real-time alerts when measured thresholds are exceeded. This allows stakeholders to focus on critical issues early, enabling proactive interventions that reduce failures and extend battery life.
SIMPLIFY REPORTING
With automated report generation, stakeholders can choose between simple string reports generated with a single click or create highly customized report templates. This flexibility streamlines compliance by providing tailored, standardized reports with minimal effort. Stay NERC-compliant without the burden of manual data aggregation for improved operational efficiency and reduced audit preparation time.
UNITE™ allows you to seamlessly and remotely drill down through your network of battery plants, strings, and individual batteries. Gain access to valuable performance insight data, enable cost-saving condition-based maintenance planning, and simplify your compliance reporting.

When paired with a CELLTRON™ Battery Tester, UNITE™ enables users to wirelessly pre-program and export plant and string details to the handheld tester, then upload battery test results to UNITE™ via WiFi before leaving the site. No cords, no apps, no return trips for undiscovered testing errors.
PRE-PROGRAM TESTERS
Users can pre-program battery string configuration details on their laptop via UNITE™ and wirelessly upload to the tester via WiFi, saving time and simplifying on-site setup.
FASTER SETUP
This eliminates manual input errors and saves valuable time on-site. Testing setups can also be saved and shared for future use on multiple testers.
When paired with a CELLGUARD™ Battery Monitoring System, UNITE™ provides real-time, 24/7 remote monitoring of battery systems, ensuring proactive maintenance and optimal performance. This integration delivers continuous data on critical battery health metrics, such as voltage, temperature, and conductance, allowing for early detection of performance anomalies and the ability to address issues before they escalate into costly downtime.
STAY CONNECTED
UNITE™ enables remote access to the detailed information you need to maintain stationary power systems, offering robust configuration options for alarm thresholds to suit specific system requirements.
STAY COMPLIANT
The system’s advanced reporting capabilities include granular discharge event tracking, capturing real-time voltage, current, and temperature data to support NERC compliance and provide insights into long-term battery health and performance trends.
