Complete and modular Lithium Ion batteries and systems for industrial businesses

Industrial batteries are found in larger electrical industrial vehicles and machines such as electric forklift trucks, automated guided vehicles and utility vehicles. The battery types and chemistry, and even the battery cell types, are sometimes the same as in commercial electrical products, only smaller in size with less advanced technology behind it.

Historically, Open Lead acid batteries have been industry preferred together with other battery types such as AGM and GEL. Today, we see a huge swift to more sustainable batteries that demands less maintenance, are better for the environment and have a longer life cycle. A battery type such as Lithium ion.

A battery management system is the electronic system that handles the battery that is to be charged. It monitors the state of charge of the battery, also referred to as SoC, it reports important data regarding the battery and charging, handles balancing of the battery and safety functions to protect the battery and system.

The Micropower battery management system, called eBRIX, functions as the brain for the Lithium ion Lionbrix battery system and handles data, reports, communications and safety aspects. The battery management system monitors each cell in the battery to secure the stability of it. 

A complete battery system includes the whole chain - the battery that powers your machine/vehicle, the battery management system that handles the safety and communication, the battery charger itself and other additional system solutions such as cloud connected fleet management for optimization of the system.

A battery system from Micropower gives customers the possibility to fully integrate with its electric vehicle/machine. It provides customers with safety functions at all levels: cell, mechanic and in the battery management system. The Lion battery chargers also have the safety option of an anti-spark system, called Safe Disconnect. Reducing risk for sparks when operators handle battery charger routines of its electric vehicles’ and machines’ batteries.
