The widely used Smart Battery standard, which has been released by the SBS Forum, defines several classes of devices typically available in a battery powered system:

Data (battery), Charger, Selector and Manager

Each of these devices is standardized as a SMBus slave.

Our products telos Tracii XL and telos Tracii XL 2.0 offer a sophisticated solution for analysing Smart Battery Systems (SBS).

There are IRD files available, which make debugging of a Smart Battery setup a lot of easier.

The traced data bytes transferred by Smart Battery devices are converted into human readable clear text by using this feature.

: Picture 1: Raw Mode

For example in picture 1 you can see that an SMBus master has transferred an 0x16 to an SBS battery. Without the SBS standard on the developer's desktop this value is very difficult to interpret

: Picture 2: Value Mode

In picture 2 you can see the high-level interpretation of the transferred data bytes.

: Picture 3: Raw Mode

: Picture 4: Value Mode

Another example can be found in the pictures 3 and 4.
