Battery-agnostic smart module combines integrated monitoring, prognostics &
wireless communication flexibility
ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third consecutive year, Solidica, Inc. is awarded Sensors Magazine's prestigious "Best of Sensors Expo Award" for product innovation and leadership. This year's Silver honor recognized Solidica's flagship battery health monitor: the Solo Volt(TM) Battery Health & Prognostics Module. The Magazine's editors select the Award recipients based on their uniqueness, utility, and potential to impact change in the marketplace.
Ideal for battery-reliant applications in harsh environments, the Solo Volt(TM) Battery Health Monitor measures voltage, current, temperature, State of Charge, and life remaining on individual batteries -- or sets of batteries -- ranging from 3V to 40V each. With a powerful battery monitoring and prognostics algorithm, each module is uniquely capable of monitoring multiple batteries simultaneously, while operating in ultra-low power consumption mode. Additionally, the battery-agnostic design makes the Solo Volt(TM) compatible with multiple battery types (lead-acid, NiMH, etc.) -- disposable and/or rechargeable, single or multiple cells -- from nearly any manufacturer, and for use in mobile and stationary applications alike.
Aside from the compatibility with an ample range of battery voltages, types and manufacturers, the versatile design includes direct communication and data integration with vehicle networks through multiple standard protocols, including J1939 CAN and J1708/1587. Resettable fuses, built-in power supply, and optional functions and wireless communication capabilities round off the award-winning product.
