The Lithium Rhino management system is connected to the active equalizer via Bluetooth to monitor the battery status, collect, store and process information during battery operation in real, time Easy for after-sales management。 1. Display real-time voltage, current, power, internal resistance and other parameter values, and display them in the form of instrument panels and numbers; 2.Record battery data using a chart timeline. Easy to use 3. Each data comparison of the battery cell, the voltage difference. Maximum voltage cell Minimum voltage cell. And the display of cell balance 4. Cell temperature warning. Real-time alarm for over temperature, short circuit, over voltage, under voltage 5. Display the real-time voltage and alarm status of all single batteries. If the reported parameters trigger the alarm value or protection value, an alarm will be prompted; 6.New fault reporting function We understand batteries and we understand how quickly this technology is evolving. Don't get left behind with your old technology!

DCS Lithium battery monitoring system. Time Remaining; Time remaining or time-to-go averaging period controls how smooth or stable the "Time remaining" estimate is. It does this by averaging load data over a set period of time (in minutes). The default value is 3 minutes. If you set it to 0 minutes, the system will show real-time duration without any averaging. However, this can make the "Time remaining" estimate jump around a lot. If you set it to 3 minutes, the system will smooth out short-term changes and only consider long-term trends, making the "Time remaining" estimate more stable. Cycle Count; The cycle count shows how much the battery has been used over its lifetime. For example, a 48V battery that powers a family home all day, every day, might rack up 200 cycles per year. On the other hand, a 12V battery in a caravan or fishing boat that’s only used occasionally might only reach 10 cycles per year. All DCS batteries come with an unlimited cycle warranty, meaning it doesn’t matter how often or how hard you use them - they’re built to last longer than any other batteries on the market. The "Current threshold" is fixed at 0.2A which helps ignore tiny electrical currents that could cause inaccurate battery readings. If the actual current is 0.0A but small electrical noise makes the battery monitor detect -0.05A, over time, this could incorrectly show that the battery is empty or needs recharging. With the Current Threshold fixed to 0.2A, the monitoring system treats anything smaller as zero, preventing these small errors and keeping the battery readings accurate. For a 12V battery to be considered fully charged, its voltage must be at least 14.0V. Once the battery monitor detects that the voltage has exceeded this level and the charging current has dropped below a set limit for a certain period, it will update the battery’s state of charge to 100%. Battery Status; A battery pack can be in one of three main states: Charging – The battery is gaining power Discharging – The battery is being used to power something Standby – The battery is in low-power mode, not charging or discharging While charging, the Battery Management System (BMS) checks the battery’s temperature and capacity to indicate whether it's being charged at a normal, fast, or super-fast rate. If something unusual happens - like the battery being completely drained, overcharged, charged too quickly, or getting too hot or too cold - the system will detect and display this information.
