What BTECH does
BTECH Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of battery monitoring hardware and software for stationary reserve power systems, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Rockaway, New Jersey. The company's core offering is a portfolio of monitoring hardware including the S5 Battery Monitoring System (up to 480 cells per system with +/-0.01mOhm impedance accuracy), the CELLQ1 and CELLQ2 systems, the Discharge Data Recorder (DDR), the Battery Ground Monitor (BGM-500), and the Electrolyte Level Sensor (ELS). These feed into the BVM Software Suite and BVM Enterprise Toolkit, which provide predictive analytics, trend analysis, alarm reporting, and centralized multi-site monitoring. The underlying differentiator is BTECH's proprietary impedance measurement technology, including patented rate-of-change analysis, originally developed at the Singer Company and brought into BTECH at founding.
BTECH sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales targeting mission-critical verticals: data centers, electric utilities, government and military, telecom, public safety, and industrial customers. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales, software licenses bundled with hardware, professional services (installation, training, discharge and acceptance testing, application design, preventive maintenance), and recurring managed services including Remote Monitoring and the NeverFail Monitoring and Maintenance package. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year service contracts for managed offerings. The company cites 10,000+ systems deployed worldwide, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, GSA Schedule and SAM registration for federal procurement, and 35+ years of continuous operation as the world's longest continuing battery monitoring company.

BTECH product offering
Product offeringCore offering
BTECH designs, manufactures, and sells US-made battery monitoring hardware systems (S5, CELLQ1, CELLQ2, DDR, BGM-500, ELS) and supporting BVM software for real-time measurement of cell voltage, impedance, temperature, and string current in mission-critical reserve power battery systems. The company also delivers recurring remote and on-site monitoring services, installation, training, discharge testing, application design, and preventive maintenance to data centers, utilities, government/military, telecom, public safety, and industrial customers.
Product overview
BTECH offers a portfolio of eight distinct battery monitoring products organized as a core hardware and software platform. The flagship S5 Battery Monitoring System serves as the primary hardware for large-scale UPS and critical backup power applications, supporting up to 480 cells and eight strings per system. For smaller or multi-location deployments, BTECH offers the CELLQ1 (cost-effective single-location monitoring) and CELLQ2 (multi-location monitoring for up to four locations with one controller), alongside the specialized Discharge Data Recorder (DDR) for float and discharge data collection. The Battery Ground Monitor (BGM-500) detects ground faults in DC systems, while the Electrolyte Level Sensor (ELS) monitors electrolyte levels using infrared technology to meet NERC PRC-005 requirements. All hardware systems feed data into the BVM Software Suite, the central analytics and monitoring platform providing predictive analytics, real-time access, alarm reporting, and centralized monitoring. The BVM Enterprise Toolkit extends the Software Suite with enterprise-level multi-site management, reporting, and data visualization applications. Together, these products provide end-to-end battery health monitoring across data centers, utilities, telecom, government, industrial, and public safety applications.
