Studies show that the majority of telecom downtime stems from battery issues. leagend’s battery monitoring solution turns your passive battery systems into smart, connected assets—optimizing uptime, reducing maintenance costs, and protecting critical infrastructure.
Smart Battery Management Is the Missing Link in Telecom Network Reliability
In the modern digital economy, uninterrupted connectivity is more than a convenience—it’s a lifeline. Telecom infrastructure, from urban 5G towers to remote rural base stations, relies heavily on batteries to deliver backup power during outages and to store renewable energy in off-grid environments. These batteries are the silent protectors of wireless continuity, ensuring calls go through, data keeps flowing, and essential services stay online.
But while batteries are essential, they are often invisible to the very operators who rely on them. Many telecom sites are left blind to the real-time condition of their energy storage assets. Only when a failure alarm is triggered—often too late to prevent service disruption—do operators realize there’s a problem. This is where a smart battery monitoring system (BMS) becomes invaluable.
Turning Traditional Batteries Into Intelligent Assets
Lead-acid batteries are widely deployed across telecom networks for their proven reliability and cost-efficiency. However, their biggest shortfall is a lack of built-in communication. Unlike modern electronics, these batteries do not natively share health or performance status. The only traditional way to assess battery condition is on-site testing, which is labor-intensive, costly, and often reactive.
leagend’s battery remote monitoring solution changes this by transforming conventional energy storage into intelligent infrastructure. Its compact, ultra-low-power battery sensor modules monitor key performance metrics—voltage, current, resistance, power, temperature, State of Charge (SoC), and State of Health (SoH)—at the individual battery level. These modules draw minimal energy, ensuring they don’t degrade performance during long storage periods.
Data is then transmitted via wired connections or WiFi to a central controller or cloud platform using TCP/IP protocols. Operators can access the visualized battery data in real-time through a web-based monitoring interface or a display screen. This visibility empowers fact-based decision-making, from proactive maintenance to battery replacement planning.
Visibility That Translates to Cost and Risk Reduction
Without visibility, operators often follow fixed replacement schedules or send service teams to manually measure battery health across dozens—or hundreds—of sites. This reactive strategy leads to unnecessary costs and still can’t guarantee uptime.
With leagend’s battery remote monitoring solution in place, telecom operators can see exactly which batteries are reaching end-of-life, plan targeted replacements, and dispatch service teams only when needed. The result is lower OPEX, better resource allocation, and extended equipment life cycles.
Beyond maintenance, safety is another area where smart monitoring shines. The system can detect signs of battery abuse—like overvoltage, overheating, or deep cycling—and alert teams before failures escalate. Poor cooling, incorrect installation, or oversizing of battery banks are also flagged, helping prevent safety incidents that could damage infrastructure or harm personnel.
Enabling Smarter Remote Sites and Sustainable Networks
As more telecom towers are installed in off-grid or rural areas, often powered by solar or wind, battery management becomes even more critical. In these installations, leagend’s battery remote monitoring solution ensures batteries are functioning optimally, even without local technicians on hand. Operators can manage thousands of remote sites from a single dashboard, increasing uptime while supporting network expansion into underserved regions.
In addition, batteries used in hybrid systems must be charged and discharged efficiently to avoid premature degradation. By enabling remote, intelligent control, leagend’s battery remote monitoring solution ensures stored energy is available when needed and that systems remain stable regardless of grid availability.
