The battery management system (BMS), proven and tested in challenging submarine applications, accepts a wide range DC input (9V-36V or 18V-75V) from either the alternator or the PCU.

 

The BMS provides two independently trimmable noise-suppressed DC supplies to the vehicle busses fulfilling the power needs of the vehicle systems, and the power needs of the vehicle’s war-fighting or ancillary support systems.

​

The system constantly monitors and reports both state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) of two independent battery packs (the vehicle batteries and the system batteries).

​

Charging rates are carefully optimized to prevent over-charging or over-discharging thereby increasing battery life. 

 

A sophisticated process of voltage and temperature measurement combined with coulomb counting of both inputs to the batteries and current outflows ensures availability of an accurate battery fuel gauge.

​

Complete real-time battery information is available to vehicle crews at all times and may be transmitted to a central command headquarters to monitor fleet readiness.
