3.3 BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM（BMS）

3.3.1 VOLTAGE PROTECTION
● Over Charge Protection
During charging, if the voltage of any cell exceeds the setting for cell protection or total voltage of

the system is greater than the setting for the system, the BMS stop charging. And when all voltage of

each cell and total voltage of the battery drop to the recovering-set values, the protection removes

automatically. The voltage settings are shown in Catalog BMS

● Over Discharge Protection

During discharge, if the voltage of any one cell or total voltage of the battery is lower than the

protection settings, the BMS stops discharge. And when all cell voltage and total voltage go up to

recovering-setting, the protection remove automatically. The settings are shown in Catalog BMS

3.3.2 CURRENT PROTECTION

● Charging Current limitation
During charging, if the charging current is greater than the setting value, the BMS will limit the

charging current to less than the setting value, this is charging current limitation. The settings are

shown in Catalog BMS.

● Discharging Over Current Protection

During discharge, if the discharging current is bigger than the setting value, the BMS will stop

discharging, this is discharging over current protection. Remove the load or charge the battery, it will

V-LFP48 back-up lithium iron phosphate battery system user manual

recover. The settings are shown in Catalog BMS.

● Short Circuit Protection

During discharging, if the current is so much bigger than the normal working current, it’s considered

as a short circuit, the BMS will stop working. The settings are shown in Catalog BMS.

● Reverse Polarity Protection

When the battery and rectifier are in reverse connection,BMS will immediately enter the

state of polarity protection,to protect battery and rectifier from being damaged by high

current.

3.3.3 TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

● Cell Temperature Protection
There are several thermal sensors to monitor the cell temperature，if the temperature of any cell is

higher than 70℃ or lower than 0℃，the BMS will stop charging, this is charge temp. protection; If

the temperature of any cell is higher than 75℃ or lower than﹣20℃，BMS will stop the discharge.

This is the discharging protection. The settings are shown in table 3.6.

● PCB over-heat Protection

There is a thermal sensor to monitor the PCB temperature，if the PCB temperature is higher than

95℃, it will trigger the PCB protection and stop charging or discharge until the temperature drop to

normal range. The settings are shown in Catalog BMS.

3.3.4 CELL BALANCE

● Smart Cell Balance
During charging, If all cell voltages are greater than 3.40V and the voltage difference between cells

ΔU＞40mV, BMS will trigger the balancing process, the balance current is designed base on the

capacity of battery pack. ΔU=max. Cell voltage – min. Cell voltage.
