Battery monitoring system with low power and end-of-life messaging and shutdown

摘要: A battery monitoring apparatus that senses conditions such as low charge, end of capacity, and life, responds by taking actions sending messages to a remote site and/or powering down. rechargeable is coupled one or more power-consuming electrical components, including equipment. The equipment charge. In response low-battery-charge condition, the transmits status message powers-down some components. Whenever nears its powers down all electronic components awaits application external power. invention also tracks time required for charge deplete. Charge duration decreases over time, whenever it reaches predetermined minimum, representative site.
