iBOS™ Basic Controller
The iBOS Basic has been designed to optimise small, single pool battery fleets. With clear guidance on which battery to pick and built-in alerts for errors or potential faults, it keeps your battery room running efficiently and profitably.
Perfect for these applications:

Boost Productivity
Battery changes in busy warehouses can be slow, confusing, and error-prone, reducing runtime, shortening battery life, and increasing costs. An iBOS system eliminates guesswork, reduces battery abuse, and keeps your operation running smoothly
Time Savings
The iBOS Basic delivers significant time savings by reducing each battery change by 2–5 minutes and lowering the number of swaps by 10–20%. As a result, trucks can operate up to 30 minutes longer on a single charge, improving overall efficiency and productivity.
Extend Battery Life
The system helps extend battery life by improving operational efficiency, adding an average of six extra months to each battery’s lifespan. This not only reduces annual replacement costs but also maximises long-term value from every battery in use.
Why iBOS™ Basic
The iBOS Basic has been designed to provide a cost-effective, hassle-free solution for managing your battery room. From quick, easy installation to intuitive monitoring and diagnostics, it helps you optimise your forklift truck batteries with minimal effort.
Tough Housing
Sealed, durable components perform consistently in even the harshest environments.
Audible Alarm
The built-in alerts flag issues before they become costly.
User Friendly
Simple user interface
Clear Feedback
Clear visual guidance, audible alert and intuitive feedback make battery swaps simple and mistake-free.
Easy to Install
On-site engineers can install the system quickly and easily with standard tools.
Seamless Connectivity
Every KPI of a battery's performance is recorded and can be accessed remotely via your customised data portal.
Batterymanagement.net
The Gateway to your Battery Room Data
A proactive data-driven online platform that gives you comprehensive visibility for your organisation without location and time limits.
- Enables a comparison of the battery use to the design expectations
- Offers battery replacement data predictions
- Real-time email alerts can be configured to each site's requirements across multiple parameters (*with iBOS Sentinel)
- Multi-language data monitoring reports available
- Customise website branding
- The batterymanagement.net API can be integrated into many third-party online reports, e.g. Forklift Management Systems

MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS
The data points that the iBOS system captures are all the critical parameters for every battery cycle, automatically uploaded to your own, customizable battery data portal on batterymanagement.net. The key metrics recorded and displayed intuitively allow you to make informed decisions that enable asset owners to directly affect the performance of a battery room and maximise the life of assets.
This intuitive system allows you to easily interpret the data that iBOS system records from each and every cycle. Once it has been uploaded, it can be used to:
• Quickly review the data for your entire fleet.
• Identify improvements to maintenance procedures across multiple sites.
• Pro-actively monitor to track improvements.
Stop guessing, and use the range of comprehensive data to make quick, concise and informed decision that will immeadiately impact the performance of your batteries.
POWERFUL INSIGHTS TO HELP PROTECT YOUR ASSETS
The key to improving the efficiency of your fleet and entire organisation is having performance data that is both accurate and can be interpreted quickly and easily. Without a battery data management system, there is no way of getting performance data from a lead acid battery, so you can't truly know what is happening with any degree of certainty. Your operators may be following the training and guidelines but what if that doesn't translate to proper battery maintenance?
What if the operators are opportunity charging the batteries, or forgetting to water them or even ignoring the electrolyte indicators?
The iBOS battery organising system, is the vital piece of the puzzle to unlock the battery room data that shows precisely what is happening.

FAQs
How many battery positions can I connect to one single controller?
You can connect a maximum of 50 positions in one pool. If you have more positions, you will need more than one controller.
The volume is too loud/quiet. Can I adjust this?
It is not possible to adjust the volume, but it is possible to change the tone. If you contact your local Philadelphia Scientific distributor, they will be able to provide you with detailed instructions.
What else do I need apart from the iBOS Basic Controller?
The iBOS Basic will require one iBOS Sentinel for each charger, so the quantity of sentinels will depend on the amount of chargers you will be using.
Is online reporting an option if I purchase an iBOS Basic?
Online reporting is not available on the iBOS Basic. To access online reporting, we would suggest an iBOS Plus or iBOS Pro, they come with many additional features as well as battery data reporting.
Can I connect a TV screen to show the next available battery?
This feature is only available on the iBOS Plus or iBOS Pro.
