Lithium Smart Battery

Invocon’s Remote Power Control (RPC) Remote Ground Support Equipment (RGSE) provides for power control and monitoring for Avionics or Flight Termination System (FTS) payloads. This includes system monitoring, power switching (e.g., internal/external, on/off), and battery maintenance as well as RS422 communications all through the vehicle’s UMBI(s). The rack is controlled remotely via direct Ethernet connection or through a fiber optic converter for extended range.

Key Features

  • Real-Time State of Charge (SOC) Monitoring

    A microprocessor continuously measures key battery parameters and calculates State of Charge, reporting data over the communication interface for mission power assurance.

  • Mission-Critical BMS Design

    Battery Management System built for mission-critical applications — designed as a direct replacement for older simple batteries without requiring new chargers.

  • Three Capacity Configurations

    Available in 7.5 Ah, 3.2 Ah, and 0.74 Ah variants to cover a range of avionics energy budget requirements.

  • Flight Mode Protection

    The 7.5 Ah battery supports an optional Flight Mode feature that prevents the BMS from cutting battery output in the event of a detected fault during flight — ensuring mission power continuity.

  • Auto-Charge Option

    Optional auto-charge feature enables batteries to begin charging automatically when the appropriate charging voltage is detected, simplifying pre-launch battery maintenance.

  • Configurable Communication Interface

    Each battery can be configured for RS-422 or Ethernet communication, accommodating diverse avionics bus architectures.

Typical Applications

  • Launch Vehicle Avionics Power

    Primary onboard power source for rocket avionics during internal power phase from umbilical pull through flight.

  • FTS Power

    Dedicated power supply for Flight Termination System payloads requiring a high-reliability, isolated 28V source.

  • Initiator System Power

    Provides redundant power for Capacitive Discharge Initiators (CDI) and Solid State Initiators (SSI) in mission-critical firing architectures.

  • Payload Power

    Supplies regulated high-density power to spacecraft payloads requiring compact, lightweight battery solutions.
