Midtronics Partners with Ultra Electronics

Midtronics, Inc. of Willowbrook, Illinois, world leader in battery management innovation and Ultra Electronics of Cheltenham, England, have signed a license agreement that will integrate Midtronics’ inGEN® technology into Ultra Electronics – Electrics Division’s military battery monitoring systems.

The use of inGEN in today’s military vehicles will greatly enhance mission capability. With increased power demands and having to operate under silent watch conditions, vehicle operators need critical battery information to perform their duties safely. This patented microprocessor sensor continually monitors the battery, providing state-of-the-art measurement and diagnostic capability to accurately calculate the battery’s power and charge potential.

“The benefits of inGEN technology in military applications are far reaching and can ultimately assure battery charge and may actually save lives in tactical applications,” said Wim Koster, Midtronics vice president.
