How to Achieve Real-Time Monitoring for Your Battery System
At Himax, we understand that real-time battery monitoring is critical for ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and safety, especially for applications requiring consistent energy management.
Whether you require basic voltage display or smart remote control, we have the right technology to optimize your battery management. We offer three tailored real-time monitoring solutions, each designed to meet different needs and budgets. Welcome to check the solutions below:
1.Basic Display Screen (Simplest Solution)
This cost-effective solution uses a simple voltage-detecting display mounted on the battery case or device. It allows users to easily check the battery’s voltage and capacity level.
Advantages:
✅ Low cost (ideal for budget projects)
✅ No signal interference (suitable for fixed installations)
✅ Easy installation, Ideal for stationary equipment with minimal data needs
Limitations:
❌ No remote monitoring
❌ Limited data (only voltage & rough SOC%)
❌ Low SOC% accuracy
Display Types:
Multiple-level LED indicators
LCD screens showing voltage and battery percentage
Best For:
Small backup power systems
Low-cost consumer electronics
2.Communication-Enabled Display (RS485/Advanced Interface)
By using RS485/CAN BUS or similar protocols to transmit detailed battery date to an LCD, PC software or cloud platform. This screen delivers real-time, high-accuracy data such as voltage, current, SOC, and temperature etc.
Advantages:
✅ High precision (accurate SOC, temperature, etc.)
✅ Supports multi-data display (ideal for complex systems)
✅ Customizable interface, suitable for high-end or professional equipment
Limitations:
❌ Higher cost
❌ Requires wiring/configuration
Display Interfaces:
Advanced LCD panels
PC software interface
Cloud-based platforms
Best For:
High-end energy storage systems
Industrial equipment
EV battery packs
3.Bluetooth Monitoring
A low-power Bluetooth module can transmit battery data directly to a smartphone app. Users can also remotely control charging and discharging MOS functions when the battery is in a normal state.
Advantages:
✅ Affordable wireless solution
✅ 10-50m range (no internet needed)
✅ User-friendly app interface in your phone
Limitations:
❌ Weak wall penetration
❌ Slightly higher self-discharge
Recommended Applications:
E-scooters
Golf carts
Solar storage systems
Portable medical devices
