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. Compre-hensive 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
• External current sensor input for > 80A
• CAN interface provides control and monitoring of voltages, currents, temperatures
• Battery temperature monitoring with up to 3 external sensors
• “Heat” / “Cool” control outputs for temperature regulation
• User-friendly configuration software
• Rich variety of balancing control options
• Seamless integration with our Generator Control Unit
• Weight: TBA
• PCB dimensions: 62 x 72mm

Highlights

Usage

The Battery Balancer is intended to be connected to a battery, installed into a UAV and interfaced to the vehicle’s CAN bus. A pair of indicator lights on the front panel give a “go / no go” indication of the battery’s state of balance and state of charge. More detailed battery information is available via the CAN bus.

Use of the battery balancer confers a number of operational advantages:

• Batteries do not need to be removed periodically to check for balance
• Battery status is available instantly, either directly from the front-panel LEDs, or remotely from the telemetry data sent on the CAN bus
• Batteries are maintained in a state of balance, improving flight-readiness
