VBMS Lite - Complete Power Management System
VBMS Lite is a complete power management system designed to facilitate both split charging and flat battery protection and control on two independent battery banks.
The VBMS Lite Hub controls charge to each battery bank and also how much each is supplemented during discharge. VBMS Lite also allows battery banks to be turned on and off via control switches on the vehicle dash and automatically protects each battery bank from over-discharge prolonging their life.
Intelligently controls power demands to maintain the best charge / discharge efficiency and protect batteries from damage.
Improves crew safety as well as saves money on unnecessary battery replacements and fuel
Suitable for up to 2 battery banks.
Designed to military specifications for defence applications
This automated system is configured in software for different vehicle types accommodating different battery setups and mission profiles.
VBMS Lite can improve silent watch times by 25-50% by “power sharing” during discharge. By ensuring batteries work within their design parameters, vehicles are also far less likely to experience “power brownouts” during missions - which are a serious safety issue. Battery replacement costs are also reduced as well as fuel usage and engine maintenance. Can be fitted independently or combined with Merlin’s advanced DataCell IIe battery monitor.
