Different from independent external GPS modules that require additional installation space and separate antenna wiring, the ZT01-G17 adopts an innovative integrated handle all-in-one design, bringing multiple irreplaceable competitive advantages for lithium battery metal cabinet matching:
- Dual-purpose handle & antenna integration: The outer plastic handle shell embeds high-sensitivity Beidou/GPS receiving antenna and 4G GSM four-frequency antenna, no extra exposed antenna wiring, greatly improving the concealment of the positioning device and avoiding damage or theft of external antennas during battery transportation and use. The handle structure supports a maximum load of 100kg, fully meeting the daily lifting weight requirements of large-capacity lithium iron phosphate and ternary battery boxes.
- Ultra-wide universal voltage input range: Supports 8V to 100 wide DC voltage, compatible with all mainstream lithium battery packs including 12V, 24V, 48V, 60V, 72V, 96V and high-voltage energy storage battery strings, perfectly matching 7S~32S full series JK-BMS protection boards without additional step-down power supply modules.
- Dual working versions available for different business demands: Separated hardware relay power-off version and software serial data transparent transmission version. The hardware version realizes remote high/low level power cut control for BMS main circuit; the software version reserves TTL-TX/RX and 485-A/B serial pins to directly upload all single cell voltage, current, temperature and SOC data of JK BMS to the cloud management platform in real time.
- Dual offline-online monitoring solution: 4G cellular network for real-time remote cloud tracking when there is mobile signal; built-in Bluetooth 4.0 module automatically switches to offline Bluetooth mode when 4G signal disappears. Operators can connect the terminal via mobile Bluetooth within 10 meters to read complete battery and positioning data without SIM network coverage.
- Full-set multi-dimensional anti-theft alarm system: Integrated light-sensing disassembly alarm, vibration trigger alarm, low voltage early warning, geofence out-of-bound alarm and on-board buzzer remote search function. Once the battery box cover is pried open or the handle shell is disassembled, the light sensor immediately sends an alarm signal to the operator’s backend and mobile APP to prevent battery theft and private disassembly.
- Remote OTA automatic upgrade: All firmware of the positioning terminal can be remotely updated through the 4G network without disassembly or offline programming equipment, drastically reducing post-installation after-sales maintenance labor and logistics costs for large-scale shared battery fleet projects.
- Waterproof flame-retardant housing: The whole machine adopts PC flame-retardant plastic shell with splash-proof design, adapting to outdoor parking, rainy riding and humid storage environments of electric vehicles, effectively avoiding short circuit failures caused by water vapor erosion inside the terminal.
- Ultra-low standby power consumption: Optimized power management chip design, working current less than 25mA at 48V, normal standby current only 2.5mA, offline sleep current reduced to 1.5mA, minimizing additional idle power loss of the lithium battery pack during long-term parking.

Full Functional Operation Logic & Alarm Mechanism Explanation
1 Real-Time Positioning & Historical Track Playback
Adopts three-in-one hybrid positioning of Beidou satellite, GPS satellite and mobile base station. When the electric vehicle starts and the battery outputs current normally, the terminal automatically uploads real-time longitude, latitude, moving speed and pack voltage data to the cloud server at a set frequency. Operators can log into the backend management platform or mobile APP to select any time period to fully replay the complete driving trajectory of the battery, which is convenient for tracking lost batteries and counting user riding mileage for rental billing settlement.
2 Remote Power Cut Control Function
Suitable for battery leasing, installment sales and shared power exchange business risk control. Administrators send remote power-off instructions through the cloud platform; the hardware version terminal outputs corresponding high/low level signals to the matching JK BMS ACC control pin, cutting off the discharge output of the battery pack remotely, limiting vehicle driving and recovering overdue rental batteries. After sending the recovery unlocking command, the signal output is restored and the battery discharge function is reactivated normally.
3 Multi-Type Automatic Alarm Triggers
- Light-Sensing Disassembly Alarm: Built-in photosensitive sensor inside the handle shell; once the battery box cover is opened or the handle is pried apart to disassemble the terminal, the light intensity changes instantly and the system pushes alarm information to the administrator’s mobile phone and backend to stop theft behavior in time.
- Vibration Alarm: Built-in vibration sensor detects collision, moving and shaking of the stationary battery, automatically sending abnormal vibration alert to prevent private transfer of leased batteries by users.
- Low Voltage Alarm: Real-time battery voltage detection error controlled within 0.1V~0.3V. When the battery voltage drops below the preset safe threshold, the terminal uploads low power warning to remind operators to arrange charging recovery for idle batteries.
- Geofence Alarm: Administrators draw a customizable electronic fence range on the backend map; once the battery is moved out of the designated service area, the system immediately triggers an out-of-bounds alarm for remote tracking control.
- Buzzer Search Alarm: Operators send remote buzzer command via APP within 10 meters of the target battery; the built-in buzzer of the terminal continuously sounds to quickly locate hidden battery boxes in parking lots and warehouses.
4 Bluetooth Offline Data Reading Function
In underground parking lots, suburban areas and other locations without 4G cellular signal coverage, the terminal automatically switches to Bluetooth 4.0 standby mode. Administrators or maintenance staff can turn on mobile Bluetooth to connect the ZT01-G17 within a 10-meter radius, offline view real-time battery voltage, positioning coordinates and historical alarm records without SIM card network support, solving the blind spot monitoring problem of remote 4G terminals.
5 BMS Serial Data Transparent Transmission
The software version’s TTL and 485 serial pins are directly docked with the UART/RS485 communication port of all JK series active balancing BMS. All core battery data including total pack voltage, single cell voltage difference, charge/discharge current, cell temperature and real SOC value can be uploaded synchronously to the rental cloud platform, realizing one-screen integrated management of positioning information and battery health status for fleet operators.
6 Remote OTA Firmware Upgrade
No disassembly or wired programming required. The backend pushes new firmware packages via the 4G network; the terminal automatically downloads and completes silent upgrade in standby state, supporting iterative optimization of alarm logic, communication protocol and JK BMS matching compatibility, greatly reducing on-site maintenance costs for large-scale battery fleet deployment.
Standard Metal Battery Cabinet Installation Size Reference
The overall outer dimension of the ZT01-G17 terminal is 106mm in length, and the reserved opening size for standard iron lithium battery boxes is fully matched to the built-in handle reserved slot of mainstream metal battery cabinets.
