ELECTRONIC BATTERY MANAGEMENT

The charging systems in many vehicles on our roads are now no longer a stand-alone electrical system. As seen in various vehicles, including the VE series Commodore, we need to move towards electronically managing the charging system in order to support the high current demands and changing battery design.

This course will give the participant a detailed insight into:

• Vehicle electrical and charging fundamental
• Alternator and regulator types and evolution
• Alternator interfaces and control signals (DFM etc)
• Power management systems and strategies
• Battery condition sensing systems
• Practical on-vehicle testing and diagnosis procedures
