Battery Management Systems

Battery management systems are used to control, protect, and charge lithium-ion battery packs in embedded systems. They monitor the voltage of each battery cell, provide balancing to keep cells at the same voltage level, and integrate charging circuits. There are thousands of solutions from manufacturers that may integrate multiple functions. Useful links are provided to explore battery management system providers and tutorials, with the most important aspect being to understand the systematic approach using a general block diagram.

Battery Management Systems


Wednesday, September 26, 2018

Welcome to this blog post which provides a broad overview of the application of lithium-ion batteries in
embedded systems. This post is the second of a 4-part series. For part 1, please see here (/blog
/using-lithium-ion-batteries-in-embedded-systems).

As we have seen, we have to control, protect, and charge our battery pack with some intelligent
system on the carrier board. There should be current and voltage protection. We wish to keep track of the exact voltage level of
each battery cell of the pack, at any time. If we have a serial configuration, we need a balancing system, which keeps the cells on
the same voltage level. Together with a charging circuit, all these elements build a battery management system. There are
thousands of possible solutions from different manufacturers. Some devices integrate several functions, so the parts have to be
chosen carefully. Here in this part, I provide you with some useful links as a good starting point to possible solutions - of course,
there are more providers than those in this small list.

It’s more important to understand the systematic approach. That’s why we now have a look at the general block diagram:
