Monitoring current inflow and outflow from battery energy storage systems ensures proper operation and maximizes system efficiency

Precision monitoring of current, voltage, power and energy enables battery health monitoring and discrete fuel gauging of energy storage systems.

Benefits:

  • Current measurements with <0.5% full-scale error over –40°C to +125°C temperature range.
  • Monitoring the current and bus voltage in a single solution minimizes board space requirements for diagnostics.
  • Flexible alert configurations enable the detection of multiple fault conditions.
  • An operational common-mode voltage as high as 85 V allows use on multiple battery systems.
