1. Introduction
1.1 System Overview
This manual will give you all the information you need to install the iBOS® Lite battery room management
system. Once installed, this system will help create a smooth running battery room. Before getting into all
the details of installation, a quick overview of how the system works may be helpful.
iBOS® Lite saves money in your warehouse or DC by eliminating waste and increasing productivity.
Changing batteries on an electric forklift truck can be a confusing, time consuming process that, when done
incorrectly, leads to shortened battery run times and battery life. iBOS® Lite provides a simple, cost-
effective solution that takes the guesswork out of choosing the proper battery. The proper battery is the
one that is fully charged and the most cooled down. You find it by following the blue light. iBOS® Lite
manages up to 50 chargers for each battery type and uses easy-to see pick lights to provide clear direction
on which charged battery to select.
The system saves money in three ways:
1. Faster battery changes.
2. Less frequent battery changes.
3. Longer lasting batteries, reducing the frequency of battery purchases.
