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.

PRODUCT DETAILS

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).
