VBMS - Vehicle Battery Management System
VBMS includes our DataCell IIe Battery Monitor (see datasheet) and combines it with intelligently controlled power gateways that automatically control the charge to each battery bank on-board and in turn how little or much they supplement each other during discharge.
The gateways also allow battery banks to be turned on and off via a centralised control and monitoring panel on the vehicle dash and automatically protect each battery bank from over-discharge prolonging their life.
Suitable for monitoring up to 4 battery banks
Monitors two separate battery banks simultaneously 12 / 24V DC
Intelligently controls power gateways to maintain the best charge / discharge efficiency and protect batteries from damage.
Designed to military specifications for defence applications
Quality Assurance
This automated system is configured in software for different vehicle types accommodating different battery setups and mission profiles.
VBMS 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 (crews can see when the engine needs to be run to provide charge to batteries rather than idling when it’s not needed).
