PowerTrac 3 Battery Monitoring System
PowerTrac 3 is a high performance, wireless electronic battery monitoring device that attaches to your battery to gather battery operation details. You can remotely monitor your battery operating parameters across your entire fleet. The PowerTrac 3 continuously acquires battery parameters, processes information and stores relevant data when an event change occurs.
The PowerTrac 3 tracks and records key battery parameters during charge, discharge and idle operation of the battery. It can store up to 10,000 events and has wireless data transfer through the PowerTrac Link USB communication device. The new PowerTrac uses 90% less energy compared to previous models and is more compact, less invasive and easier to install. PowerTrac 3 strengthens your ability to manage battery life, maintenance and battery usage.

SP and DT Battery Monitoring Systems/Data Loggers
The PowerTrac SP Series is a battery monitoring system developed specifically to meet the needs of industrial and motive battery systems. The battery monitor tracks and logs various battery performance data including battery voltage, battery temperature, and battery current. A conventional current shunt is used to provide continuous battery current sensing.
Features
Monitors and Logs Critical Battery Performance Data, including:
- Instantaneous battery voltage, battery current, and temperature
- Charge and discharge Amp-Hours since installation and per event
- Charge and discharge events, including:
- Event type (charge/discharge)
- Event start time and duration
- Minimum and maximum voltages with time stamps
- Maximum current and temperature with time stamps
- Event Amp-Hours of charge/discharge
- Event end voltage (30 second average)
- Over/under voltage, over current, and over temperature alarms
Typical Charts Generated
