Ensures that the battery pack operates safely and reliably.
Within the BMS, algorithms are run to generate accurate estimations of outputs, based on inputs
BMS Inputs
cell/pack voltages
temperature sensors for cells
Get a sense of the temperature distribution of cells
current flowing into/out of battery pack)
Determine if charging/discharging and at what magnitude
BMS Outputs
State of Charge (SOC)
Ex: battery percentage in phones/EVs
State of Health
