A battery management system (BMS) is an electronic system that manages and monitors the performance of a battery. It is used to ensure the safety, reliability, and durability of the battery. The BMS is critical in controlling the charging and discharging processes of the battery, as well as monitoring the temperature and other conditions.
The technology behind BMS consists of several components. A microcontroller is the heart of the BMS, responsible for controlling the various functions and components of the system. It collects data from the battery through sensors, such as voltage and temperature sensors, and analyzes that data to determine the state of the battery, its capacity, and its health.
The BMS also includes a power management system that controls the charging and discharging of the battery. This system controls the flow of energy in and out of the battery, and ensures that the charging and discharging process is carried out efficiently and safely. It also monitors the battery’s state of charge to prevent overcharging and over-discharging, which can damage the battery.
