OceanServer offers a complete set of RoHS Compliant electronics that provide
battery management and charging and ultra high efficiency ATX Power
supplies, DC-DC converters and Li-ion battery packs to power small embedded
devices, instruments or computer systems.
The standard Base Battery Controller Module, BB-04FR,
with the DC-123SR (DC-DC converter module) allows you to integrate
up to 380
Watt-hours of power in a 3.6" x 3.8" PC104 sized two
module stack.
The BBDC-02R provides the functionality of the BB-04FR and
the DC-123SR into a
single module, 3.5" x 4.6" and can support one or two
smart battery packs.
These systems allow you to make your system or electronics
operate like a
Notebook computer, plug-in it chargers and runs, unplug your
battery powered. Software is provided for Windows (tm)
that
let's you monitor the power status when on batteries like
a notebook. These products are used by hundreds of users
worldwide to quickly add a proven battery system to an
existing product. |

| Battery Clusters™ |
|
|
|
OceanServer Battery cluster products provide the plug-n-play
modular building blocks that let you build very large battery power
systems using
small safe Li-ion battery packs.
These systems are ideal for powering robots, medical equipment,
portable equipment, homeland security or military devices or
just about anything that needs power.
The MP-xx and XP-xx Series Intelligent Battery Controllers can each manage 4 or 8 Smart
Battery packs. These controllers manage all of the safety aspects
required by Li-ion devices and integrate smart level III chargers. A
battery cluster of any number of packs can be charged in 2
or 3.5 hours from fully discharged to fully charged (depending
on configuration).
The MP-04/08 or XP-04/08 controllers can be combined in large groups connecting any number of battery
packs producing a system that acts as one giant battery with each pack under
the DOT CLASS 9 shipping limits to make shipping simple.
We have a full range of DC-DC converters from 3.3Volts to 48
Volts. Most of our DC-DC converters are
Ultra High efficiency devices that operate at up to 97% efficiency
conserving battery power and staying cool for passive cooling. The new
DC2U-1VR converter can provide 48V DC @ 240 Watts in a PC104
form factor card (3.6" x 3.8") and can be combined in parallel to
provide a solid 19, 24, 28 or 48V system bus at 96% conversion efficiency
at very high wattage values.

All of the OceanServer Battery Management modules have an
RS232
communication port that provide complete power system information
about all of the battery packs connected. This information
includes, fuel gauge, current, voltage, amp-hours, run time to empty, time to full charge, and 20
other critical battery parameters on a pack by pack basis.
OceanServer provides the "minibats" software program
for use with the power controllers that lets the user integrate the power system
into a Windows(tm) system. This software allows the system to read the state
of the battery system and provides actions to take when the
battery power is running low. You can issue user warning
"Power Low, save your work"...
Run a program or command file when the battery capacity reaches
a set percentage or perform a system shutdown or hibernation.
The "fullbats" program allows you to monitor the
status of very large battery cluster systems, up to 16 MP-08
or XP-08 controllers for a
total of 128 battery pack or 12,000 watt-hours of battery
power.
