15S BATTERY MONITOR AND BALANCER

The 15S Battery Cell Monitor & Balancer is a precision instrument that ensures multi-cell batteries are maintained in an optimal state, improving system reliability and prolonging battery life.

The 15S Battery Cell Monitor & Balancer does exactly as its name suggests: it monitors cells within a battery, and it balances those cells if and when they require it. Comprehensive data detailing the battery’s internal state is sent via the CAN interface.

Features

Transforms a “dumb” battery into a smart (self-balancing) battery
Supports multiple battery chemistries – LiPo, LiS and LiFe
Supports 9 to 15S batteries
Galvanically isolated 80 Amp current sensor
CAN interface provides control and monitoring of voltages, currents, temperatures
Battery temperature monitoring with up to 3 external sensors
External current sensor integration
Heating/cooling control output for thermal management
User-friendly configuration software.
Rich variety of balancing control options
Seamless integration with 2000W GCU
