Product Overview
EnergyTrak is Briggs & Stratton's battery monitoring system for its communication-enabled SimpliPHI batteries. It has two parts: a gateway, a small box installed near the batteries that reads data from them, and the EnergyTrak mobile app, where you see that data. This listing is the EnergyTrak gateway kit (part 053024).
Briggs & Stratton says EnergyTrak shows real-time battery status, remaining battery life and discharge time, and fault and warning alerts, and keeps a history of events. It also delivers automatic over-the-air software and firmware updates, so the battery system can get updates without a site visit. Installers can use it to monitor many customer sites from one account.
Best For
- SimpliPHI 6.6 battery owners who want app monitoring: The SimpliPHI 6.6 manual describes connecting the battery controller to an EnergyTrak gateway, and the 6.6 spec sheet lists CAN bus communication to the EnergyTrak gateway.
- Keeping battery firmware current: EnergyTrak delivers over-the-air updates for the battery system.
- Installers managing several systems: Briggs & Stratton lists fleet monitoring and business user accounts, so a company can watch the health of its customers' batteries and respond to faults sooner.

What You May Also Need
Usually required
- A Briggs & Stratton communication-enabled battery: For example, the SimpliPHI 6.6 battery with its SimpliPHI 6.6 controller. Check the EnergyTrak installation manual for your gateway version for the full list of supported batteries.
May be required
- Communication cable: The SimpliPHI 6.6 manual uses a CAT5 (or better) cable between the battery controller and the gateway's battery communication adapter.
Optional upgrades
- Other system monitors and displays: For monitoring other parts of a solar system, such as solar production.
Check current manufacturer documentation before combining components, especially batteries, inverters, communications equipment and system-control hardware.
Important Considerations
- Check the gateway version. Briggs & Stratton has released more than one EnergyTrak gateway (installation manuals for ET-GWY-10 and ET-GWY-20 are both listed on its SimpliPHI 6.6 support page). Network options and the supported battery list depend on the version, so follow the manual for the version you receive.
- Briggs & Stratton batteries only. EnergyTrak is for Briggs & Stratton communication-enabled batteries. It is not a general-purpose monitor for other brands.
- Installation. Briggs & Stratton highly recommends installation by qualified persons. Install the gateway following its installation manual and the battery manual.
