meaning that the user has protected it or that a rental timer is
expired.
Rental Mode management
The GRANITE Link system allows rental houses to pre-program timers in
each battery, so that when at least one of them expires, the battery stops
releasing power while remaining chargeable.
Two timers are available and can be set individually or both:
 Rental timer: number of rental days, not depending on the usage of
the battery. The battery starts counting immediately when the timer is
set and when the counters expire it stops.
 Rental usage timer: amount of pre-programmed working hours. The
battery counts only when the battery is releasing power, and not in
stand-by or charge. When the counters expire it stops.
These timers, once generated and sent to the battery are protected and
cannot be halted even if the module is switched off. They can eventually
be extended (even remotely through the App), if a customer needs to.
These timers are among the info broadcasted by the battery, so the user
is always notified.
Rental houses can manage this system through a web-based application
where they have to subscribe for free. The web-application generates the
special action codes to set or extend timers on each different battery.
Individualy action codes must be generated and programmed in each
battery: the web application helps in this task, allowing also to send them
to customers by SMS, so that they can copy and upload to batteries
through their smartphone and/or tablet.
For faster operation with a large fleet of batteries, we offer GRANITE Link
Web Hub, a smart device that connects as a client to the local network
and acts as a gateway to all the GRANITE MINI batteries in proximity,
allowing faster and massive operations through the web App.
