3rd party monitoring systems.

Modified on Thu, 20 Oct, 2022 at 6:28 PM

With regards to using 3rd party monitoring tools and Hubble warrantee:

Hubble has seen BMS parameters tampered with in the past and we are trying to put measures in place to protect the both the product and the uniformed customer.

The Hubble warrantee document was updated in early 2022 with an exclusion for the use of 3rd part tools that can alter the settings or behaviour of the Hubble BMS and thus affecting the performance and or the reliability of the battery. It is completely normal for a business to protect its product in this manner and as an example if you fit a pedal booster or CHIP to your car then the OEM will void the warrantee even after the device has been removed. If the device can alter the products behaviour, then it can compromise its intended safe operating area. Batteries fitted with 3rd party tools pre 2022 will not have their warrantees voided outright however if it is detected that any of the battery / BMS parameters have been adjusted then Hubble reserves the right to void the warrantee.

 

It should be noted that this exclusion is only applicable to the RS232 port which Hubble reserves for use with a Cloudlink and to do firmware updates of Hubble approved BIN files. The RS232 has a direct electrical connection to the microcontroller and damaging the transceivers on this port may damage the microcontroller which is responsible for maintaining the safety of the battery. The RS485 and CAN bus ports are optically isolated from the BMS microcontroller and damage to these ports do not present any safely risk to the battery.

Hubbel provides a world class monitoring platform with no monthly subscriptions. If a customer needs to integrate the battery with a custom application that is not suitable to interface on RS485 or CAN bus then our RnD Department would gladly help to facilitate this.
