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.
*Available on eGO!pro only

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 maximize the life of assets.
This intuitive system allows you to easily interpret the data that an eGO! 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 an eGO! on a battery, 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 eGO! range of battery performance monitors, is the vital piece of the puzzle to unlock the battery room data that shows exactly what is happening.
There are no other battery performance monitors available on the marketplace today that provide the same level of battery information, integrated with a range of indicators from our award-winning SmartBlinky range of products.
