AlterVU® is Altertek's flagship Battery Management System (BMS) configuration software engineered specifically for global OEMs, system integrators, and battery engineers. Designed to interface directly with the Altertek range of Intelligent Battery Management Systems via a USB-to-CAN transceiver, AlterVU® puts full operational control at your fingertips.
Whether you are commissioning prototype battery packs or deploying automated production lines, AlterVU® allows you to adjust, calibrate, and verify over 1,000 operational parameters in seconds — completely eliminating complex manual programming.
AlterVU® provides complete autonomy to fine-tune protection thresholds, thermal profiles, contactor timing, and telemetry protocols according to your exact energy storage requirements.
Set precise cell over-voltage, under-voltage, warning triggers, and recovery hysteresis limits across all Li-ion chemistry types including LFP (LiFePO4), NMC, and LTO.
Define charge and discharge thermal operating windows, over-temperature cut-offs, and NTC thermistor polynomial parameters (Steinhart-Hart & Beta values).
Configure automated pre-charge durations, main contactor timing sequences, fault trip conditions, and emergency high-voltage disconnect routines.
Tailor CAN message identifiers, baud rates, transmit rates, bit fields, and custom CAN protocol mappings for seamless integration with vehicle controllers or microgrids.
Calibrate Hall-effect sensors and precision current shunts, set zero-current offsets, and refine State-of-Charge (SoC) algorithms for maximum tracking accuracy.
Map General Purpose Inputs/Outputs (GPIO) for external relay controls, cooling fan activation, warning LEDs, and interlock loop validation.
For high-volume manufacturing and fleet deployment, AlterVU® dramatically simplifies quality management. Engineers can create, test, and lock a master configuration file once, then flash it onto thousands of Altertek Battery Management Systems within seconds.
All configuration data is securely logged and verified on UK-hosted infrastructure, ensuring strict traceability and compliance with international ISO9001:2015 quality standards.
