Elite Power Solutions - Energy Management System (EPS EMS) application is used to manage and monitor the EPS battery packs. This application is only intended to work with EPS approved batteries and management systems (EMS2.x, EMS3A & EMS3B). You will need to connect an EPS device to work with this app. For any queries please contact sales@elitepowersolutions.com. Elite Power Solutions (EPS) is a Battery Management System technology company. Since 2008, EPS has been focusing on developing proprietary battery management technologies (BMS) and integrated Lithium Ion battery systems. Our BMS design requires just one small wire harness for a Lithium Ion battery pack and supports up to hundreds of large format Lithium Ion battery cells. This provides unmatched simplicity and system reliability (in contrast to hundreds of individual wires reaching to all the battery cells in typical BMS designs). Our BMS systems measure temperature data from every single battery cell, which significantly enhances safety protection for Lithium Ion battery systems. In addition to standard safety features typical BMS systems offer, our latest BMS includes a plethora of IoT features, such as time window management for peak shaving, fleet management, WiFi connectivity, cloud data storage, smart phone apps, and more. To meet unique requirements from our OEM partners, our engineering team can develop customized hardware and software solutions for specific applications. The applications of our integrated battery systems include utility trucks, refrigerated trucks, border patrol vehicles, police cars, golf cars, RVs, forklifts, emergency vehicles, autonomous robots, autonomous material transport carts, and more.
