Why It Matters

What Does a BMS Do?

A battery management system is a critical component that protects your battery and maximizes its performance.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Safety

Protects the battery against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuits and overheating, reducing fire risk.

βš–οΈ

Cell Balancing

Keeps all cells in the pack at an equal level to maximize capacity and lifespan.

πŸ“Š

Monitoring

Continuously measures and reports voltage, current, temperature, state of charge (SoC) and state of health (SoH).

πŸ”‹

Longevity

Significantly extends the service life of the battery pack by keeping it within the correct operating range.

⚑

Efficiency

Optimizes energy usage to increase range and overall system efficiency.

πŸ”Œ

Communication

Talks to the vehicle or device through protocols such as CAN, UART and IΒ²C to share live data.
