Real-time lithium battery monitoring
The Hardware

The LW Node

A compact, IoT-connected battery monitoring device that connects to your BMS lithium batteries via Bluetooth Low Energy or CAN bus and reports everything to the cloud — from anywhere in the world.

The LW Node sits near your batteries, reading every data point your BMS exposes and transmitting it via cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity every 60 seconds. With built-in GPS tracking, geofencing, and optional battery backup, it's the complete solution for remote battery intelligence.

What It Does

The LW Node connects to a wide range of BMS lithium batteries via Bluetooth Low Energy or CAN bus. It reads every data point the BMS exposes and sends it to the Lithium Watch cloud platform via cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity.

Complete BMS Data Capture

Every 60 seconds, the LW Node reads your battery management system and transmits a full snapshot of its state. No data is left behind. You get the same level of detail as if you were standing next to the battery with a Bluetooth app on your phone — but from anywhere in the world.

  • State of Charge (SOC percentage)
  • Total pack voltage
  • Current flow (charging and discharging amps)
  • Temperature readings from all BMS sensors
  • Individual cell voltages across the entire pack
  • Cell voltage delta (imbalance detection)
  • Charge and discharge MOSFET status
  • Fault flags and protection triggers
  • Cycle count and battery health metrics
  • GPS location and movement tracking

Key Capabilities

More than a battery monitor — a complete asset intelligence platform.

Global IoT Connectivity

Connect from anywhere in the world. The LW Node supports 4G/LTE cellular connectivity — no on-site Wi-Fi required. We can reach your devices wherever they're deployed, from remote hilltops to construction sites.

GPS Location Tracking

Built-in GPS module reports real-time location of every device. Track your assets on a live map, review location history, and know exactly where your batteries are at all times.

Geofencing & Theft Alerts

Set virtual boundaries around your assets. If a device is moved outside its designated area — especially after hours — you'll get an instant alert via SMS, WhatsApp, or Telegram. Configurable time windows, dwell times, and speed alerts.

Internal Battery Backup

Optional internal battery backup keeps the LW Node running even when the main power source is disconnected. If someone disconnects the batteries or cuts the power, the node continues to report its GPS location and status. Multiple battery backup sizes available.

Multi-Channel Alerts

Get notified your way. Receive critical alerts via SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, or email. Reply to messages to get instant status updates powered by AI. Never miss a battery issue again.

Wide BMS Compatibility

Works with a wide range of BMS manufacturers via Bluetooth Low Energy and CAN bus protocols. From JBD and Daly to Pylontech and BYD — we support the systems you already use.

How It Works

Up and running in three simple steps. No apps to install, no complex configuration.

1

Place & Power

Place the LW Node near your batteries, within BLE range. Power it with the included USB-C cable, or opt for 12V/24V/48V DC direct wiring. The optional internal battery backup keeps it running even if power is cut.

2

Configure

On first boot, the LW Node creates a Wi-Fi hotspot. Connect to it from your phone and enter your Client Code and PIN. For cellular units, we pre-configure the SIM — it's plug and play.

3

Monitor

The node auto-discovers compatible batteries in range, registers with the cloud, and starts reporting. Log in to your dashboard to see live data, GPS locations, set up geofences, and configure alerts.
