MARS SMART BATTERY KIT - KONTRON

Description

Smart Battery platform
Mobile Application platform for Rechargeable Systems
"MARS"mobilizes Computer-on-Modules applications.
More and more manufacturers are depending on intelligent battery management solutions. Therefore, the main target of the "MARS"development platform is to enable engineers to design their own mobile power supply with up to 60 W and with one or two smart batteries.
"MARS"features four function units that can be used whenever required:
The Buck Boost Converter IN extends the input voltage range from 5 to 28 VDC, ensuring a sufficiently high charging voltage and producing an output voltage of up to 19 V.
The Buck Boost Converter OUT increases the battery output voltage if a backup battery with less than 12 V is used.
The smart battery system manages the charging and discharging processes of up to two smart batteries in parallel or serial operation.
The Dual Buck Converter provides an ATX-compliant power supply.
From these function units the developer picks just the ones needed and leave out the elements not required.
Additionally "MARS"can automatically switch from one voltage source to another within just a few microseconds, making it well suited as an uninterruptible power supply.
"MARS"is stored in the ACPI registries provided for the purpose using BIOS in Kontron ETX® and COM Express® modules.

Frequently asked questions

IPC Station' parent company, GID Industrial, specializes in procuring industrial parts. We have years of experience finding rare and obsolete equipment that our customers need in order to get back to business. There are other companies who claim to do what we do, but we're confident that our commitment to quality and value is unparalleled in our field.

The warranty we offer will be based on what we negotiate with our suppliers. It is possible for some parts to be sold as-is and without a warranty. Our specialty, single board computers, tend to receive a one-year warranty.

We use FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS. We have our own accounts, but we can also use yours if you would prefer. However, we can use other carriers if it will be more convenient for you.

IPC Station will definitely serve you. In fact, much of our business is international, and we are familiar with shipping to destinations all across the globe.

Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express are all accepted by IPC Station. We can also accept wire transfers and PayPal, or a check if you're in the USA. Terms may available for larger orders, upon approval.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE

This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE

When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
