BMW Intelligent Battery Sensor 7570031
Rover 75s have a record of issues with flat batteries.
To that end I have purchased a BMW Intelligent Battery Sensor, 7570031, off an old BMW E87. This is essentially a 35mm2 battery negative cable, with a built in current sensor, battery voltmeter, et al, which monitors the state of battery. It has a 2 pin connector, the bit serial data interface. This uses a LIN (Local Interconnect Network) bus interface to extract the information. Is there anybody here that knows about this technology. I am looking to build some kind of remote readable battery monitor for the R75. Last edited by MarkS; 1st April 2020 at 20:53.. Reason: 35mm2 |

The 75 never had a battery load sensor and iirc no Lin bus (I’d need to check) as it’s quite newish technology. Most manufacturers that use battery load sensors use them for stop start and smart charge reasons. The engine ecu has the ability to read battery state of charge and battery state of health. Lin bus is also used for park sensors and body electrics as it’s quite a slow speed, a single wire that switches between system voltage and earth. I think there’s possibly an easier way of what your trying to achieve either by an extra volt meter, amp meter or torque app set up.

The BM2 suggested, measures the battery voltage. This won't tell you the current being drawn from the battery after shutdown, or if something has not shutdown properly. It will only highlight a discharging battery, long after the problem has occurred.
The BMW IBS has already been designed and manufactured to do exactly what is required. I believe it will measure a shutdown current of up to 10A, although what the minimum is, is unknown. Just remove the existing battery ground wire, replace by the IBS, and monitor the battery properly. All it needs is an interface to extract that information.

The LIN bus connector has 2 wires.
One is grey. The other is white with a blue trace. Is one used for transmit data from master to slave ? Is the other used to receive data from slave to master ? Does the IBS have a specific predefined address to reply to ? I believe LIN bus started in ~ 2002. Last edited by MarkS; 1st April 2020 at 14:00.. |

When I suggested an amp meter it was more a test of the parasitic drain to see if you had an issue. The battery load sensors I’m familiar with have two wires, one is a 12volt feed, the other is the lin signal from the engine ECU

All you need is a plug in meter/voltage tester in the cigarette lighter.
Bought one over here in France for a few Euros. You can also get phone USB chargers that have a continuous voltage/battery readout on them. Again 3 or 4 Euros.----- |

When I'm checking currents I use those big fat fuses as sense resistors, trouble is not all the loads go through them. I've rigged up a lead which enables me to replace one of the small fuses with an external one and uses that as a sense resistor - I've never used it.

Has anybody in the Bournemouth area got a BMW, Mini, or Rolls Royce, with an Intelligent Battery Sensor, that is happy to be monitored.
I would attach a picture, but this forum won't allow pictures that are too big in size to upload Last edited by MarkS; 10th April 2020 at 19:08.. |
