BATTERY PACKS
TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
Main features:
●RUGGED AND RELIABLE: Battery packs are built in rugged aluminum chassis, machined out of a
single brick of aluminum for reliable operation on the field. Only high-quality Li-Ion batteries are
used.
●LARGE CAPACITY: Battery packs ensure enough power for your on-road and field test and
measurement applications so you don't have to worry about losing any data due to lack of power
supply. DS-BP2i total capacity is 192Wh and DS-BP4i total capacity is rated to 384Wh, this will
ensure 3 hours of operation for SBOX data logger with 32 channel SIRIUS DAQ system without
replacing batteries.
●HOT-SWAP FUNCTIONALITY: Internal Li-Ion batteries are hot-swappable, meaning they can be
replaced during the measurement to ensure your data acquisition system never runs out of
power.
●DAISY CHAIN: Battery packs can be daisy chained together to further increase the autonomy.
●ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY: For in-vehicle measurements, an isolated power supply on battery
packs will guard you against unwanted ground loops.
●REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION: Battery packs are protected against wrong connections to
the input power supply.
●ADAPTIVE CHARGING: Charging current is dynamically adapted, depending on the output load.
When there is no significant load at the output, the batteries are charged with 2 A per battery.
When external load increases and the power of external PSU rises close to the limit, charging
current is reduced to 1 A per battery. If the load is still increasing, the charging of batteries is
stopped. With this feature, we ensure that maximum required power from external supply is
limited.
●STATUS INDICATOR: Battery pack comes with LCD status indicator as well as USB connection to
the DAQ unit so you will always know how much power you have left.
●USB: Battery packs are equipped with a USB connector. It is used to connect the battery pack to
the computer, where it introduces itself as native battery for windows (HID UPS Battery). Icon in
the task bar also appears with the status of batteries. Battery pack information can also be
observed in DEWESoft.
