Wireless monitoring
November 1st 2008 EnerSys Motive Power has
launched a wireless battery
monitoring device, Wi-IQ, which is
fitted to motive power batteries to
enable information on charge,
temperature, voltage, and electrolyte
level to be uploaded wirelessly to a
PC. Used in conjunction with
analysis software, Wi-IQ Report, the
device enables accurate and
immediate reports on all batteries in
one location, as well as any
maintenance action required.
Wi-IQ can be used with most
designs of flooded and maintenancefree
batteries and has a wireless
communication range of 30m. A Wi-
IQ unit is fitted to the main DC cable
of each battery. LEDs provide realtime
status of the battery's condition
and the unit stores data on up to
2555 charging cycle records using
its in-built electronic memory. More articles from Enersys Ltd: |
