Intellitec Launches Integrated B.I.R.D. Battery Disconnect with RV-C Communications
Smart Disconnect Provides Superior Battery Management
DeLand, Florida – Intellitec Products, LLC introduced the Integrated RV-C based Bi-directional Isolation Relay Disconnect (B.I.R.D.) today. The new product monitors the voltage of two battery sources and automatically links them when charging is available and required. Based on the new Battery Guard® 1000 platform, Intellitec can provide a complete Battery Management System with RV-C communications.
Ned Schiff, President of Intellitec Products stated “The B.I.R.D. RV-C provides the most complete solution to linking batteries for charging or additional starting power. It is very economical and easy to install. Utilizing our proven latching relay, the B.I.R.D. only draws power when changing state making it a “Green” product as compared to the continuous duty solenoids frequently used in this application which drain unnecessary power from the batteries and generate excessive heat.”
Austin Ciambriello, Engineering Manager at Intellitec added “Other battery isolation products charge for a fixed time before disconnecting, not knowing if they have fully charged the second battery. We’ve designed an algorithm that utilizes current monitoring and voltage which enable us to fully charge the second battery”
“The B.I.R.D. allows the OEM the ability to set several thresholds including automatic connect and disconnect voltages making it ideal of any battery configuration.” continued Ciambriello.
“There is a vast amount of information that can be provided to our Road Commander™ or other multiplexing systems including voltage, current, warnings, status and fault indication. It can also be manually controlled by a pushbutton or selector switch.”
“It is a very exciting time to be part of Intellitec and our industry.” added Schiff. “The additional intelligence and functionality we are adding to our products provides tremendous value to our customers.”
