Description
For a complete battery system additional hardware is required.
The battery management system (BMS) monitors
the operating values (voltages, currents and temperatures)
and protects the battery cells from being used outside their
safe region. The hardware and software structure of such a
BMS must meet certain requirements regarding low power
consumption, safety critical behavior and accuracy.
The current interrupting devices (CID) as well as fuses and
current sensors should be carefully designed and their
sizing depends on the application of the battery system.
