Product Overview

  • Part No.: 404323-2001
  • Battery Chemistry: N/A

Lincad’s innovative Battery Logistics and Operational Compliance System (BLOCS) allows automated printing of traceable battery state labels. Lithium-ion batteries are optimally stored at 50% state of charge and IATA transportation regulations require that they have a state of charge of ≤30% when transported by air. The BLOCS label printer system ensures that batteries being stored or transported comply with these conditions.

The system connects directly to compatible Lincad battery conditioners and chargers fitted with the BLOCS interface. Status labels for each battery, showing accurate state of charge and other data, are automatically printed. This greatly improves the logistics management of battery fleets as well as providing traceable documentation for storage and transportation purposes. The status labels provide traceability back to each battery.

BLOCS allows up to 32 different conditioners or chargers to be connected at the same time for rapid processing. Using Lincad’s six channel Armada conditioner, up to 192 batteries can be processed simultaneously by a single system. BLOCS is available as a factory add-on option and works as an automated, stand-alone system that does not require any external inputs once set up.
