conga-SBM²


Smart Battery Manager Module

It's an integrated module designed to provide a fast and risk free mobile battery solution. The SBM² is only 68mm x 95mm and 12.5mm high. The only requirement is that the system's power supply provides 19V DC. The SBM² takes care of the rest. The input power limiter on the SBM² allows the dimensioning of the AC power supply to max. CPU power plus 25%. The SBM² distributes the current to the system and battery charger in an intelligent way. This results in reduced weight and costs when compared to a worst case scenario whereby dimensioning the power supply is necessary to provide maximum charge to the batteries and maximum power to the system in parallel.

Starter Kit


For a quick evaluation of the SBM² SMART Battery Management Module congatec offers a starter kit that includes a SBM² module, a SMART Battery as well as a complete set of cables. This kit can be operated in conjunction with the congatec XTX™ starter kit. When used together they provide a fast and simple way of evaluating all the functionalities and configurations offered by the XTX™ and SBM² modules. If a customized systems is to be used then the SBM² can be easily attached to the customer specific baseboard. Optionally, it's possible to integrate the SBM² module into the baseboard design.
