In many projects, batteries represent up to 50% of the total system cost—making their proper operation strategic. The study highlights the importance of local training, real-time monitoring (BMS, IoT, cloud-based EMS), thermal management, and charge/discharge practices to prevent premature degradation. Utilities are increasingly investing in remote monitoring, predictive algorithms, and detailed cycle tracking to anticipate failures and reduce O&M costs.

What digital or organizational solutions do you use to monitor and optimize your batteries?
What types of data (temperature, cycles, voltages, etc.) would you like to track more effectively?

This topic aims to share tools, practices, and innovations that can extend battery life and reduce operational costs.
