Battery Management System – you are in charge

With a Battery Management System, You’re in Charge.

Ditch your bulky, heavy keychain. With the new e-Key remote, you can manage your boat’s main power functions on-board with a single key fob.

An e-Key is designed with car-like functionality, letting you remotely switch power on and off and control functions such as exterior lighting, heating, or media equipment from the dock. At the heart of the system is the Battery Control Module (BCM) that makes installation, operation, and maintenance easy and efficient.

Key Features Explained 

Battery Control Module (BCM)

The Battery Control Module (BCM) acts as the main hub for the boat’s electrical system making battery status reliable and easier to monitor from a display at the helm. The system parameters can be preset so that information on the state of charge, state of health, time to empty, voltage and current are all easily accessible. Designed for the marine environment, the system significantly reduces the total number of components needed and maximizes reliability while on the water.

e-Key remote

With the introduction of the e-Key remote, Volvo Penta brings car-like functionality to boat ownership. A range of functions can be programmed into the e-Key including exterior lighting and main power – all of which can be operated from a distance.

Not only is the e-Key system designed for easier handling and increased theft protection, but it also authorizes access to on-board systems. Simply press “ON” to unlock the system – and press the start button on the e-Key panel to start the engines.

As default all main breakers will switch on/off when pressing ON/OFF on the e-Key Remote. If you want to exclude any breaker, this is done under user settings.
   
The system provides a feed-back signal that indicates when EVC is unlocked (one flash) and locked (two flashes).
