What the system does

Modules can be added without redesigning the system, and hardware and firmware can be adapted to the application.

Safety

Protection is designed in at every level, with redundant paths for the measurements that matter most.

  • Intelligent safety circuit (iSDC)
  • Isolation resistance measurement
  • Contactor control and monitoring
  • Redundant communication and temperature measurement
  • Galvanically isolated communication

State estimation

Accurate state estimation and stored history turn raw measurements into decisions for drivers, operators and fleet teams.

  • Accurate SoC, SoH and SoP
  • Predictive maintenance
  • Remote management
  • Up to 16 GB on-board storage

Scalability

Chain cell modules as the pack grows. The same master, firmware and tools carry across every project.

  • Modular building blocks
  • Operating voltage up to 1200 V
  • Up to 380 cells in series
  • Wide cell chemistry support

Automatic configuration

Modules are detected and configured automatically, then tuned in a simple GUI.

Fast sampling

High-accuracy measurement with sampling up to 2 kHz.

OEM integration

System development and design, plus integration support for your product. Every system comes with a CAN DBC file.

In development

Active cell balancing

In a series pack the emptiest cell decides when the whole pack stops. Passive balancing bleeds the fuller cells down to match it and turns the difference into heat. Active balancing moves that charge to the cells that need it, so the pack keeps more usable energy.

Our cell module with active cell balancing is in development

Passive balancing

0Usable charge
0Lost as heat

Active balancing

0Cell spread
0Usable charge
0Lost as heat

Simplified illustration: 16 cells in series, state of charge per cell, active balancing modelled at the expected conversion efficiency of about 96%. The dashed yellow line marks the emptiest cell, which sets usable pack charge.

Longer battery lifeCells stay matched, so no single cell is pushed harder than the rest.
Higher reliabilityWeak cells are supported instead of becoming the failure point.
Better efficiencyAbout 96% of the energy moved stays in the pack instead of turning into heat.
More energy densityMore of the installed capacity is usable on every cycle.
