Battery Data Loggers

The PowerTrac SP Series is a battery-monitoring system developed specifically to meet the needs of industrial and motive battery systems. The new battery monitor tracks and logs various battery performance data including battery voltage, battery temperature, and battery current. A conventional current shunt is used to provide continuous battery current sensing.

The PowerTrac SP is equipped with an infrared (IR) port for wireless interface via IrDA ports and PDA devices, such as a Palm Pilot. An optional RS232 interface is available upon request.

Advantages:

• Compact size
  
• Advanced data logging capability
  
• Simple user interfaces (Palm and Windows)
  

Applications:

• Industrial Electric Vehicles
  • Forklift trucks
  • Ground support equipment (GSEs)
• Neighborhood electric vehicles

  • Electric forklift trucks
    
  • Electric ground support equipment (GSEs)

PowerCheq™ is a revolutionary and patented battery equalization device that greatly extends battery life and runtime. The PowerCheq modules interconnect batteries in a series string creating a bidirectional energy transfer path between neighboring batteries and enabling the entire battery string to be equalized. PowerCheq is the first real time balancing system that equalizes and maintains batteries during charge, discharge, and while sitting idle. With PowerCheq, the life cycle cost of motive and stationary batteries is greatly reduced. PowerCheq is universally adaptable to all battery systems and configurations and can be easily installed in new and existing battery systems. PowerCheq’s benefits are well documented with independent tests showing significant improvement in battery life and capacity.

Advantages:

• Modular design
  
• Real-time equalization
  
• Highly efficient
  

Applications:

• Electric scooters, wheelchairs, and golf carts
  
• On-road and low speed electric vehicles
  
• Telecom / Cable TV / Backup power systems
