iBOS™ Plus Controller
The iBOS Plus controller manages up to 100 chargers across nine battery pools, ideal for mid-sized battery rooms. With a subscription, it connects to an online data portal for up to five years of reporting, while the touch screen displays battery availability and selection statistics.

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 Plus 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™ Plus
The iBOS Plus monitors all batteries on a pool and eliminates operator judgment in battery selection by determining which battery has had the longest cooling time since charging.
Fewer and Faster Battery Changes
Save 2 to 5 minutes per change and have 30 minutes longer battery run time, resulting in 10-20% fewer battery changes.
Real-time Monitor
Provides all the information needed to manage the battery pool efficiently.
User Friendly
The iBOS plus has a simple read and react system and a large scrolling display that tells forklift operators the correct battery to pick next.
Reduce Mispicks
The shouter sounds an alarm when the operator takes a battery that doesn't have the pick light.
Better battery room visibility
Identifies malfunctioning equipment and problems in the battery room via online management reports.
Accurate battery purchases
Helps management make precise business decisions regarding the optimal number of batteries in the pool.
Seamless Connectivity
Every KPI of a battery's performance is recorded and can be accessed remotely via your customised data portal.

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
Can the iBOS detect a bad battery?
Yes, the iBOS system generally serves as a quality control device to give out batteries that are fully charged and cooled down the longest. When a battery is connected to the charger, the iBOS records the connect voltage of that battery with the date/time stamp of the connect event.
The iBOS system tracks the voltage profile of the charge cycle through the charging process. If the battery fails to achieve the correct voltage level within the next 24 hrs, the battery is considered a charger fail (Charger No Start on the batterymanagement.net) and is put into Quarantine, and the operator is notified through the iBOS control panel screen.
