Hi robot enthusiasts, 

We launched a kickstarter campaign to support production of “smartification” module for robot batteries. BatMon is a small module that can be attached to your lithium batteries to convert it into smart batteries.

Here are some of the specs:

• Voltage, current, and temp sensors
• 64 bit unique battery id
• OLED display
• Current battery life display
• Automatic discharging to maintain cycle life
• No discharge cutoff
• Open  source case design 
• Dual LED, optional buzzer
• Cell balancing, with individual voltages
• Only 12 grams
• Compatible with SMBUS, PX4, Ardupilot, and Arduino
• Integrated coulomb counting
