Core SWX Brings Fleet Battery Management to the Next Level at NAB 2018
Core SWX introduces the Voltbridge Fleet Battery Management Platform along with Bluetooth Low Energy enabled versions of its Quad Fleet and Fleet Micro Chargers, Fleet Qi and Fleet QMi, at NAB 2018 (Booth C5633). This innovative platform allows a user to oversee dozens of professional battery chargers and hundreds of battery packs, all controlled and monitored by a mobile device via the VoltBridge app.
“Battery power is the most critical part of any mobile/field production. With the Voltbridge platform and the new chargers, large production/broadcast houses, as well as professional video and cinema rental will be able to manage their battery fleet,” says Ross Kanarek, CEO, Core SWX. “This battery management system will also help to reduce the risk of potential Li-Ion battery related issues, by allowing the user to quickly determine and address any battery packs that may be of concern.”
Building upon Core SWX's patented wireless battery communication platform, Voltbridge streamlines the process of determining what V-mount and Gold mount battery packs are viable, and which should be inspected more. You can sort, highlight and select hundreds of connected battery packs’ based on a variety of smart data to quickly identify packs with diminished service life or cell imbalance, providing an opportunity to test and evaluate the packs through the system. Once the test/calibration is completed, the user can view or email the results of the pack, to maintain a service log.
The Fleet Qi and Fleet QMi quad chargers support numerous battery packs, including Core SWX, RED and Anton/Bauer. The Voltbridge Fleet battery management system individually addresses each battery connected, yet simultaneously charges four 98wh battery packs in 2.5 hours. They also allow users to remotely initiate Core SWX’s SafeFly mode to discharge packs to under 30% capacity, for safe transport according to the FAA and IATA.
