XetaWave intros advanced smart battery XetaPAK 

By Michelle Froese | May 1, 2017

The XetaPAK smart battery by XetaWave combines solar charging, thermal management, data logging, and fault protection to provide capabilities in excess of those available in traditional lead-acid batteries.

XetaWave, a Colorado‐based wireless technology provider, has announced the release of XetaPAK, an advanced, long lasting smart battery that represents an entirely new approach for batteries used in remote telemetry sites. Telemetry is an automated communications process whereby measurements and other data are collected remotely and transmitted for monitoring.

As a drop‐in replacement for 12 AH, 24 AH, and 100 AH lead-acid batteries, the XetaPAK is lighter weight, longer lasting, higher capacity and offers monitoring capabilities not available with traditional lead acid batteries.

Further, instead of being just a battery, this product adds a MPPT (maximum power point tracking) controller, load current limiter, low-voltage shutdown, battery temperature management and data logging through Modbus all in one insulated package.

“There has long been a need for a replacement to lead acid batteries,” said Jonathan Sawyer, XetaWave CEO/CTO. “The XetaPAK is the industry’s most advanced battery management system. It is the only product that combines solar charging, thermal management, and fault protection with Modbus data logging.”

XetaPAK also offers unsurpassed reliability and has a very long life. By contrast, today’s typical lead-acid battery offers no ability for monitoring and needs to be replaced on a regular basis, sometimes as frequent as annually, requiring the costly deployment of field resources and the cost of repeated purchases.

The XetaPAK is available in three versions – XetaPAK15 offers 15 amp hours (AH), XetaPAK30 35 AH, and the XetaPAK135 135 AHs. The XetaPAK135 offers 35% more capacity than 100 AH lead-acid batteries.
