Abstract
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) are provided including a processor and a voltage sensor circuit in communication with the processor. The voltage sensor circuit is configured to sense a center point voltage (CPV) of a battery module associated with the UPS and provide the sensed CPV to the processor. The processor is configured to receive the sensed CPV of the battery module, determine if the CPV is less than a predetermined voltage and turn off all battery chargers associated with the battery module if the CPV is determined to be less than the predetermined voltage.
