Battery Current Sensors

The New Necessity of Battery Maintenance

As the electrical systems on newer vehicles continue to advance, battery maintenance has become an essential component to keeping vehicles on the road. Battery Current Sensor (BCS) components, which measure the charge and discharge current flowing through the battery, are critical for maintaining a healthy battery.
