LOCOMOTIVE SMART BATTERY
MONITORING SYSTEM
To operate effi ciently, locomotives rely on dependable deep cycle batteries for engine
starting. Proper charging and maintenance is key to maximizing battery performance
including capacity, starting crank Amps and cycle life. Utilizing a simple and easy-to-
read LED visual indicator and audible alerts, Rolls integrated Locomotive Smart Battery
Monitor offers maintenance crews supportive information relating to battery health as
well as state-of-charge and engine starting ability.
Select Rolls 32-volt locomotive models (
16 CH 25R-MON, 16 CH 33R-MON
) are
equipped with an integrated Rolls proprietary Locomotive Smart Battery Monitor to
track and provide real-time undercharge monitoring, discharge monitoring, impedance
monitoring as well as performance & maintenance alerts with simple audio & visual
communication.
FEATURES:

and is a specifi c concern with automatic engine start/stop (AESS) control systems.
Rolls Locomotive Smart Battery Monitor alerts where incidents of undercharge may
be occurring, helping guide operators to perform regular and restorative maintenance
charges to avoid capacity loss and maintain starting performance.

Accurately tracking charge current and battery voltage, Rolls
Locomotive Smart Battery Monitor assists in identifying when the battery has reached
full state-of-charge and charging may be terminated. A unique LED sequence helps to
confi rm the charge is complete and the battery is now ready to be put into service.
