The switched BMS: the technology developed by Otonohm that controls each battery cell
At the heart of BASECAMP® is the switched BMS (Battery Management System), a patented battery management system developed by Otonohm that individually controls each battery cell. This architecture represents the station’s key technological differentiator.
Switched BMS features:
- Precise control of each battery cell
- Optimization of overall performance
- Real-time diagnostics with automatic fault detection
- Battery passport for lifecycle tracking through to recycling
User benefits:
- Extended lifespan: reduced total cost of ownership
- Increased reliability: minimized service interruptions
- Simplified maintenance: predictive diagnostics and targeted intervention
- Sustainable approach: full traceability and responsible recycling

Frequently Asked Questions about the Otonohm BASECAMP® battery
How does your battery work without a charger or inverter?
Our battery is equipped with a switched Battery Management System (BMS). This intelligent system automatically regulates charging and discharging, eliminating the need for an external charger or inverter. The battery directly provides 230 V power, ready to run your devices just like a standard mains outlet.
Our battery with a switched BMS is designed to simplify your installation. It directly delivers 230 V power without requiring a separate charger or inverter. This makes the system more compact and more efficient.
Can I use your battery to power electric tools on a construction site?
Absolutely! Our battery is designed for demanding applications such as construction sites. With 7.2 kW of continuous power and peaks of up to 18 kW, it can power energy-intensive tools such as drills, circular saws, or even lighting equipment. Its 3.7 kWh capacity allows you to work for several hours without interruption.
Is your battery safe to use?
Yes, absolutely. The integrated BMS continuously monitors the battery’s parameters, such as temperature, voltage and current, to prevent overcharging, overheating or other anomalies. This ensures safe operation, even in demanding conditions.
Is the battery easy to transport?
Yes, our battery is designed to be robust and portable. It is equipped with ergonomic handles and a durable enclosure, making it easy to move around on a construction site or between different work locations. Weight: 37 kg.
Is it compatible with use in residential or noise-sensitive areas?
Absolutely. BASECAMP® is completely silent — ideal for nighttime operations, in residential areas, or on film sets requiring a controlled acoustic environment.
