BMS Battery Management System for Electric Vehicles running Lithium Batteries
Some requirements:
- Able to do 45 cells or more,
- Isolate battery pack from overcharge,
- Isolate battery pack at low state of charge,
- Designed for LiFePo4 batteries,
- Give a price
- Some track record?
This is a collection of information I have collected and gathered together to decide on a BMS for the LiFePo4 battery pack I have ordered for the Saturn. I cannot find many examples of these in use, except by the BMS makers themselves.
