IEEE Industry Best Practices

Powering Reliability Through Proven Standards

    At Eagle Eye Power Solutions, we align our products and services with IEEE industry best practices to help you meet the highest standards in battery maintenance, testing, and monitoring. Whether you are building out a new DC power system or maintaining existing infrastructure, IEEE recommendations provide the foundation for safety, reliability, and long-term performance.

    This page serves as a helpful starting point for engineers, technicians, and compliance officers who are searching for trusted, standards-aligned battery maintenance and monitoring solutions.

    Why IEEE Best Practices Matter

    The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) publishes widely adopted standards for the design, operation, and maintenance of battery and DC systems. These best practices are often referenced in NERC standards, OEM manuals, and by engineering consultants. They include:

    • IEEE 450 – Maintenance, testing, and replacement of vented lead-acid batteries
    • IEEE 1187  – Provides guidelines for the design, maintenance, and testing of batteries in stationary applications
    • IEEE 1188 – Maintenance, testing, and replacement of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries
    • IEEE 1106 – Recommended practice for Ni-Cd batteries
    • IEEE 1657 – Training for personnel working with stationary batteries
    • IEEE 1491 – Maintenance and life cycle testing practices
    IEEE Best Practices Compliant

    Staying aligned with these best practices ensures your systems are safe, compliant, and reliable, while also reducing the risk of unexpected outages.

    Not Sure Where to Start?

    Whether you’re working with VLA, VRLA, or Ni-Cd batteries, or building out a program for a utility, data center, or industrial site, we can help guide you toward solutions that follow IEEE’s trusted guidance. Explore our IEEE-aligned solutions:
