Why is battery monitoring important?

Batteries are used in many different areas, in most cases to store energy for later use. However, the battery itself does not display the amount of energy stored.

The service life of batteries depends on many factors. Undercharging, overcharging, deep discharge, excessive charging or discharging currents and high ambient temperatures can shorten the operating time. By monitoring with a battery monitor, the user receives important feedback to take countermeasures to extend the battery life if necessary.
