Abstract

A monitoring system comprises a storage device monitor and a communication device. The storage device monitor is powered by an energy storage device (e.g., battery or fuel cell) to which the storage device monitor is attached. The communication device is mounted on an industrial vehicle or battery charger. A load is electrically connected to the communication device that is external to and independent from the storage device monitor. In operation, the communication device transmits an encoded message to the load. A controller of the storage device monitor detects the encoded message by sensing changes in a characteristic of the energy storage device that occur responsive to the communication device transmitting the encoded message to the load. The controller of the storage device monitor converts the encoded message into a discovery parameter, and pairs with the communication device across a wireless network based upon the discovery parameter.
