Battery fuel gauges
Accurate gauging products for any battery system
We offer highly accurate gauges for applications ranging from smartphones, notebooks and power tools to vacuums and energy storage systems (ESS). There are gauges equipped with integrated protection or for higher voltage applications up to 15 cells in series. Our patented gauging algorithms help gauges accurately measure state of charge and state of health for a variety of chemistries including li-ion, LiFePO4 and NiMH.
