BDSi General Description 1 BDSi General Description The BDSi is a battery monitor for UPS applications and is designed for installation inside UPS battery cabinets. What sets Albér monitors apart from others is their ability to provide early warning of battery problems. The monitor checks the state of health of each cell by performing a proactive resistance test, a reliable predictor of battery performance.
