Battery Data Recorder

The Battery Data Recorder (BDR) is an on-battery device capable of measuring many aspects of the battery in real-time both while on charge and when in active usage within the warehouse.

The BDR is designed to provide information both for recording and real-time purposes to better serve the needs of the battery as an asset and to extend its useful life.

The BDR has capable and flexible communications capability to both exchange data with on-board vehicle systems and to push data directly to the cloud via Enterprise WiFi for online alerts, reporting and analysis.

Primary applications include battery electric / vehicle fitment within industries such as materials handling, mining, aircraft ground services and agriculture.
