Accurate Performance
The key performance metrics recorded via the eGO!core, once uploaded and displayed intuitively on batterymanagement.net, allow for informed decisions to be made and enable asset owners to directly improve the performance of a battery room and maximise the life of assets.
Maximise Your Assets
From work, rest, charge, and cooldown hours, to opportunity and abuse cycles, every KPI of a battery's performance is recorded and can be accessed via your customised data portal, batterymanagement.net. Drill into a holistic organisational overview meaning you can address problems pro-actively.
Maintenance Made Easy
eGO!alerts functionality, Critical Alert Service and a personalised data portal, gives a complete and comprehensive view to allow you to make changes in working practices, fix critical errors and address training issues that will help improve fleet performance.
Why iBOS™ Basic

MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS
The data points that the eGO! range capture 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 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.

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.
