Small add-on board instead of cumbersome own software development. Just left to ask: “With or without?” - Ansmann Industry Solutions has developed a battery with integrated Bluetooth interface for automated wireless data transmission. Prototype and app for the world innovation are presented at the Electronica 2016. Manufacturers of wheelchairs, patient surveillance or therapy devices and other battery powered applications can now dispense with wiring.

For just a few euros additional costs per battery, they can transmit data such as battery charge level, battery temperature, manufacture date, serial number, charge and discharge cycles, charging current, status warnings or remaining actual range on the displays of their devices or mobile phones.

Values and data can be displayed in the form of an oscillogram without any measurement set-up. Graphs for the load pattern of the battery, for example, can be traced in LIVE mode as standard. Optionally, the reverse data transmission direction can also be used to control the end application via Bluetooth and data bus with the Smartphone.

Thanks to the patented Bluetooth Direct-Connect battery solution from Ansmann Industry Solutions, the high development costs incurred so far for the few individual solutions even in existence for wireless battery solutions are now a thing of the past. A small additional standard add-on board is sufficient.

The main advantages for the device manufacturers of the Ansmann battery with Bluetooth integrated as standard include:
- simpler service handling with customers by read-out of battery service data
- wireless read-out of battery and terminal data by the end user
- extension of terminal applications to new functions such as GPS
- simple control via Smartphone, tablet and mobile device
- customer-specific apps are possible – or can be combined with existing apps – but are not absolutely necessary.
