The deployment of xMB-9640 KIT will provide Ford Ford/Lincoln EV Certified Dealers and EV qualified commercial service repair facilities with:  

• A safe and efficient way for technicians to field service Ford HV BEV battery packs
• A consistent HV service experience for technicians with accurate results
• Module testing prior to balancing or service
• Module pack balancing
• New module balancing if replacing a module into the battery pack
• Module discharge routine for the safe shipment of modules to recycler or service facility

xMB-9640 charges or discharges battery modules up to 96 volts.  Max current capabilities are 40 amps up to 48 volts and 20 amps above 48 volts.  The operation of the unit is through a 5” color touchscreen or keypad and an android operating system with applications for each function.  This unit combined with our unique service approach described below can satisfy current Ford module servicing with hardware and flexibility through wireless updates and monitoring to address most future module changes or requirement needs.

The xMB-9640 monitors module voltage, cell voltages, balancing current and temperature during the balance 

xMB-9640 Safety Features:

• LV & HV Common Cable Connection Interlock and Fuse Connectors
• Fuse Door with magnetic interlock
• Connection Verification routine before the charge
• Charge monitoring, alerting, & active cancellation
• High voltage cable reverse polarity protection
• Overvoltage/current/temperature monitoring and auto shut off
• Automatically stop for a cable disconnection/fault
• Cables/connections - Designed to be finger shock safe

Ease of use

The xMB-9640 is designed with handgrips to allow for easy lift and carry applications or can be easily mounted to the optional xMB-9640 cart for safe & easy movement in the shop area.

The xMB-9640 has an intuitive screen flow with large icons to inform the user of the proper procedures to perform a balance. Before any balancing begins, the xMB performs a self-test including all the cable connections to detect that the proper module was selected and proper connections were made.
