Definition / Description
The Vehicle Low Battery alert is triggered when the internal battery level of a vehicle drops below a configured voltage threshold. This alert helps fleet managers monitor battery health, prevent unexpected vehicle downtime, and take proactive maintenance actions.
Parameters Considered (Prerequisites)
- Vehicle Low Battery: A connection type must be established with the Vehicle Low Battery from the sensors connected while adding an object.
How to Configure
- Select the appropriate Company and Branch.
- From the Alert Type dropdown, choose Vehicle Low Battery.
- Enter an Alert Name as per your preference.
- Configure the Based On parameter.
- Configure Number of Alerts:
- Enter a description in the Text field (e.g., “Battery voltage below threshold”).
- Configure Valid Days — choose Everyday or Custom, and specify the days if custom.
- Set the Valid Time From / To to define when the alert is active.

Use Case
A Vehicle Low Battery alert is triggered when the internal battery voltage drops below the configured threshold, either for a specific trip, a duration, or continuously based on the configuration. Notifications are sent via SMS, Email, or In-App Notification, allowing fleet managers or operators to respond promptly, perform maintenance, and prevent vehicle downtime.
- Based On parameter:
- Event: Alert triggers on a specific event (e.g., trip start or stop).
-
- Voltage: Alert triggers when battery voltage falls below the configured value.
- If based on Voltage, configure
- Value: Voltage threshold (e.g., less than ___ V).
-
- Duration: Duration in minutes the voltage must remain below the threshold.
- Configure Number of Alerts:
- Single: Trigger once per condition (Trip or Duration).
-
- Multiple: Trigger repeatedly as long as the condition persists.
