  • Patent number: 5095537
    Abstract: An automatic monitoring system of storage batteries housed in battery rooms comprises an acquisition satellite associated with a sensor to measure various physical parameters representative of the operating state of a pilot battery cell, notably the density, temperature and electrolyte level, a data concentrator located outside the corresponding battery room and arranged to communicate by radioelectric waves with the acquisition satellite, and a centralized processing unit connected to the concentrator by a two-way cabled communication network.
