You would not drive a car

without a gas gauge…

Why would you execute a mission-critical

operation, such as “silent watch”,

without a Battery Fuel Gauge?

Capabilities of HDM BFG TechnologyCapabilities of HDM BFG Technology

• Battery Power Usage Information: Diagnostics and Prognostics– State of Charge (SOC) at 95% Accuracy

– State of Health (SOH) at 95% Accuracy

– Hours Remaining (HR) at 90% Accuracy

– Battery Voltage (V)

44

– Battery Voltage (V)

– Battery Temperature (T)

– Current (I)

– State of Life (SOL)

• Functionality– System Interface: CANBUS, RS232, Control Panel-Mounted Display

– Real-Time Data and Estimations

Page 5: Battery Management for Monitoring up to Six Lead - …...Battery Management for Monitoring up to Six Lead --Acid Batteries at the Individual Dr. David Liu, PhD PHM Society BMS Workshop

Benefits of HDM BFG TechnologyBenefits of HDM BFG Technology

• Operations– Alerts crew when re-charging is necessary

– Provides Hours Remaining for silent watch

– Ensures mission capacity and success

55

• Maintenance– Identifies unhealthy batteries for replacement

– Facilitates Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)

• Cost-Efficiency– Single BFG per system vs. multiple BFGs per system

– Simple configuration reduces install, operation, and maintenance

– Powerful tool for intelligent power management systems
