Introduction to Dashboard
The dashboard is the central hub where you can monitor key data points in real-time and control the essential functions of your battery seamlessly.
The dashboard is divided into different widget tiles as mentioned below,
- Device Overview
- Active faults
- Control center
- Zone temperature
- Cell voltages
Device Overview
In the Device Overview widget, you can view the latest values for the total voltage of the pack, pack current, SOH, cycle count, SoC, and charging status.
The SoC bar changes color based on the SoC left in the pack as follows,
| SoC Range | Bar Color |
|---|---|
| 0% – 20% | Red |
| 21% – 50% | Orange |
| 51% – 100% | Green |
Active Faults
In the Active faults tile, you can view all the faults currently active in the battery. You can view the following fault details in this tile:
- Number of active faults, indicated by the number in the red pill-shaped box
- Name and code of the active faults
- The severity of the fault **Link this to the fault section**, indicated by the color of the dot beside the fault code.
You can also view details of the faults by clicking on ‘View details’, which will take you to the Faults **insert link** page.
Control MOSFETS
Battery Buddy lets you control Charge or Discharge MOSFETS with a single click.
Enabling Forced Balancing
Battery Buddy Tool allows you to enable manual cell balancing during charging. This function is beneficial when, due to some reason, your battery pack is not balancing correctly. To enable forced balancing, go to the Dashboard and toggle ‘ON’ the switch below the overview area.
Note: You cannot use forced balancing if a fault is active. If a fault gets active, forced balancing will automatically switch off.
When Forced Balancing is enabled, the cells getting balanced will be highlighted with the animation in the Cell Voltage **insert link** tile.
Zone Temperature
In the Zone Temperature tile, you can view the temperature of each zone as measured by the NTCs in the battery pack. The number of bars in the chart will be based on the number of NTCs in the battery pack. You can hover over the respective bar to view the temperature values of the respective zone with 3 decimal places.
Apart from the temperature of each zone, you can also directly view the value of the zones having the Min and Max temperatures.
Cell Voltage
In the Cell Voltage tile, you can view the voltage of each cell in the battery pack. Each bar represents a cell in the battery pack. You can hover over the respective bar to view the voltage value of the respective cell with 3 decimal places.
Apart from the voltage of each cell, you can also directly view the value of the cell having the Min voltage, the cell having the Max voltage, and the delta between these voltages.
Device Status Ribbon
In the footer, you can view the connection status of the device and also when the device is connected. You can also view the last time the app received the data and the dashboard was updated.
