conga-SBM²C
Smart Battery Manager Module for COM Express
It's an integrated module designed to provide a fast and risk free mobile battery solution. The conga-SBM²C is only 68mm x 110mm and 12.5mm high. The only requirement is that the system's power supply provides 19V DC. The conga-SBM²C takes care of the rest. The input power limiter on the conga-SBM²C allows the dimensioning of the AC power supply to max. CPU power plus 25%. The conga-SBM²C 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.
