Changing forklift batteries shouldn’t slow you down.

In busy distribution centres, the battery swap process can be confusing, time-consuming, and inconsistent, especially with high staff turnover. But repeated mistakes in battery changes don’t just waste time; they shorten run times, reduce battery life, hurt productivity, and drive up costs.

The solution? iBOS Basic.

Our innovative battery management system eliminates guesswork, reduces battery abuse, and streamlines your operation. It’s the most cost-effective way to maximise ROI in your battery room, warehouse, or facility.

Simple. Accurate. Foolproof.

The iBOS Basic automatically tells operators exactly which battery to choose—the one that’s fully charged and most cooled down. A blue light clearly indicates the next battery in sequence, making it easy to get right and hard to get wrong.

Built-in protection against costly mistakes.

If a battery is picked out of order (a “mispick”), an audible alarm sounds, and the blue LED shows which battery should have been selected. The system can also signal possible faults from damaged connections or battery issues, catching problems early before they turn into expensive repairs.

Right-sized for smaller fleets.

The iBOS Basic controller manages up to 50 chargers per battery type and is ideal for fleets of up to 10 batteries of the same type. Correct rotation extends battery life, speeds up battery changes, and keeps trucks running longer between charges.

The result?

Better battery health, improved site productivity, and a stronger return on every battery you own.

Why the iBOS Basic works

The iBOS Basic has been designed to optimise small, single pool battery fleets. With clear guidance on which battery to pick and built-in alerts for errors or potential faults, it keeps your battery room running efficiently and profitably.

• Effortless to Use: Clear visual guidance, audible alert and intuitive feedback make battery swaps simple and mistake-free.
• Tough and Reliable: Sealed, durable components perform consistently in even the harshest environments.
• Quick, Hassle-Free Setup: On site engineers can install the system quickly and easily with standard tools.

With just a 10% cut in daily truck changes and a 10% faster battery change process, the iBOS Basic can pay for itself in under 8 months. And that’s before you factor in the extra savings from longer battery life, the built-in alerts that flag issues before they become costly, and the quick, hassle-free installation that doesn’t require a service engineer.
