Bluetooth battery enables wireless data transmission

Manufacturers of eBikes, lawnmowers or other battery applications can now dispense with wiring for just a few euros in additional costs per battery when they want to transmit data such as battery charge level, battery temperature, manufacture date, serial number, charge and discharge cycles, charging current, status warnings or remaining actual range on the displays of their devices or mobile phones.

Values and data can be displayed in the form of an oscillograph without any measurement set-up. Graphs for the load pattern of the battery, for example, can be traced in live mode as standard. Optionally, the reverse data transmission direction can also be used to control the end application via Bluetooth and data bus with the smartphone.

The high development costs incurred so far for the few individual solutions even in existence for wireless battery solutions are now a thing of the past thanks to the Bluetooth Direct-Connect battery solution from Ansmann Industry Solutions. A small additional standard add-on board is sufficient.

Key features:

• Simpler service handling with customers by read-out of battery service data
• Wireless read-out of battery and terminal data by the end user
• Extension of terminal applications to functions such as GPS
• Simple control via Smartphone, tablet and mobile device
• Customer-specific apps are possible – or can be combined with existing apps – but are not absolutely necessary
