What Is a BMS in Batteries? Definition, Functions,
What Is a Battery Management System (BMS)? A Battery Management System (BMS) is an intelligent electronic system that
A BMS monitors the temperatures across the pack, and open and closes various valves to maintain the temperature of the overall battery within a narrow temperature range to ensure optimal battery performance. Capacity Management Maximizing a battery pack capacity is arguably one of the most vital battery performance features that a BMS provides.
The control unit processes data collected from the battery and ensures that the system operates within its safe operating area. A critical part of the BMS, this system uses air cooling or liquid cooling to maintain the temperature of the battery cells.
A battery management system oversees and controls the power flow to and from a battery pack. During charging, the BMS prevents overcurrent and overvoltage. The constant-current, constant-voltage (CC-CV) algorithm is a common battery charging approach used in a battery management system.
The BMS prevents your lithium battery's voltage from going too high (causing overheating and gas release) or too low (leading to permanent damage). Damage occurs if you overcharge (cell voltage gets too high) or over-discharge (cell voltage gets too low) a lithium-ion battery cell. Overcharging occurs when recharging exceeds a battery's safe range.
