Battery Management System Designed and built in the UK by Charger Bay Solutions the Battery Allocation Systems (BAS) utilises RF technology to ensure maximum battery utilisation and life from the battery fleet. BAS senses which battery has reached its full charge condition first and advises the operator on a high visibility LED display, which battery should be taken for use first. By doing this BAS ensure all batteries are used equally and that the batteries have the opportunity to cool before use. If a battery is removed out of sequence, a charger fails to commence charging, or a sensor unit has a malfunction a clear verbal alarm is sounded advising of the fault and the charger location. BAS incorporates a comprehensive database of truck, charger and battery fleet details and records the date and time of the charging cycle, operator errors and equipment faults. BAS has infinite capacity and flexibility to handle increasing numbers and changes the battery fleet. Application On sites where trucks do not have dedicated batteries and batteries are pooled for use, significant savings can be made in storage space and in the cost of charging equipment and installation costs. Managing this type of regime can however prove difficult and if not correctly controlled can result in unequal use of the battery fleet resulting in premature battery failure. This is particularly relevant in installations where batteries are charged in rack systems and especially where batteries are stored on 2, 3 or 4 levels. Principles of Operation BAS monitors the charging of the batteries and places them in a queue, allocating them for use based on the charge returned and rest period with the location of the battery to be used being shown on the PC screen and on a high visibility LED display. Until fully charged batteries become available BAS works on a FIFO basis hence ensuring that the battery allocated even if not fully charged is the one with the most power. As soon as a fully charged battery is available that will leap frog to the front of the queue ensuring the optimum battery is always taken for use. BAS has verbal alarm messages that sound if the wrong battery is disconnected, a battery that has been connected is not charging or if the system has a fault. All data relating to charge cycles and alarms is stored, 3 days of data can be viewed on the PC running the system and full historic data can be exported to reporting software to provide detailed reports on battery use, changing patterns, fleet availability, driver errors and charging faults. This powerful management tool allows for informed decision making relating to fleet levels to ensure optimum performance.
