iBOS™ Battery Management System

Enables battery data management to operational intelligence

TURN BATTERY USAGE INTO ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE

When lead-acid batteries are not effectively managed, the impact extends far beyond the battery room. It directly affects the productivity, efficiency, and profitability of your entire warehouse or distribution centre.

At the heart of poor battery performance is improper rotation, primarily due to a lack of actionable data. When battery management relies on guesswork instead of accurate, real-time information, the consequences are predictable:

  • Shortened battery run times

  • Decreased battery lifespan

  • Increased failure rates and unplanned maintenance

  • Excessive battery changeovers

  • Lower operator efficiency and rising labour costs

  • Underutilised capital assets

The iBOS™ Battery Data Management System transforms how you manage your battery fleet. With a guided, mistake-proof selection process and intelligent web-based reporting, iBOS ensures proper rotation, maximises battery performance, and empowers your team with the insight needed to make confident, data-driven decisions.

Why Battery Data Management System

Transforms Battery Data into Operational Efficiency

iBOS™ captures critical battery performance data, such as usage patterns, charge cycles, and change events, and turns it into actionable insights. This enables smarter battery rotation, reduces downtime, and extends battery life by preventing overuse or underuse of specific assets.

Provides Real-Time Visibility for Smarter Fleet Management

With batterymanagement.net, the online data-driven battery management platform, your battery room becomes fully transparent. Managers can access real-time and historical data on battery usage, cooldown compliance, mispicks, and more. This data visibility supports proactive decision-making, whether it's adjusting shift protocols or identifying underperforming equipment.

Empowers Scalable, Data-Driven Operations

As your operations grow, so does the value of your battery data. iBOS™ scales across multiple sites, standardising how data is collected and reported. This ensures consistent best practices, easier compliance reporting, and long-term cost savings driven by real battery room intelligence, not guesswork.

The Metrics That Matter

The iBOS™ battery performance data recorded by iBOS Sentinel covers every single important metric that can directly affect the performance of a battery. All battery data is accessible remotely through the proactive data-driven online platform, batterymanagement.net

Electrolyte Levels

Our eGO! products feature our industry standard SmartBlinky Technology alerting you when the battery needs water.

Temperature Levels

Hot running or charging temperatures are a telltale sign that something is wrong. Our eGO! will alert you to it.

Data Received

If we don't get the data you don't get the information. We can track exactly when we last recieved an upload online.

Normal Cycles

When a battery is charged, used and discharged, this is classed as a normal usage cycle.

Opportunity Cycles

If a battery is charged multiple times during a work cycle this reduces overall life expectancy.

Abuse Cycles

Abuse cycles are another big killer of batteries. We track it so you can amend working practices and maintenance..

Work Time

You can see exactly how long each battery has worked for, helping you to streamline assets.

Rest Time

Reporting in conjunction with Work Time, this shows how long a battery has stood unused with charge.

Charge Time

The amount of time a battery has been on charge can indicate a whole range of issues with capacity.

Cool Down Time

Using a battery that hasn't cooled down enough drastically impacts performance, we track it so you can change practices.

Life Used

Calculating the lifespan of a battery using the data captured through the eGO! we can show current life used.

Life Remaining

Working in with Life Used, life remaining allows you to effectively plan in replacing batteries and assets.

Bi-Directional Energy*

Bi-directional energy monitoring shows how much energy has gone into and out of the battery.

*Available on eGO!pro only

LIFETIME ENERGY*

Working in conjunction with the bi-directional energy metric you can see total energy throughput for the battery.

Discover the right fit for your application

Depending on the size and complexity of your battery fleet, the iBOS™ system offers a range of scalable solutions, each with different capabilities and components to meet the unique needs of your battery room. The feature matrix below will help you identify which iBOS system is the best fit for your operation.

iBOS™ Basic

The iBOS Basic is the entry point to the iBOS system, manages up to 50 chargers in a single pool on a single-level rack, designed to reduce operational costs and improve productivity in your warehouse or facility. By eliminating guesswork in battery selection, it ensures operators always choose a fully charged and properly cooled battery, supporting longer run times and better battery health. 

Ideal applications:
