Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of a Battery Management System (BMS) for electric vehicles (EVs), focusing on optimizing battery performance, safety, and longevity. It monitors cells, protects against abuse, balances differences between cells, estimates state of charge/health, and communicates with the rest of the device or vehicle. The primary function of the BMS is to monitor and regulate the battery's voltage, current, and. . A complete battery system consists of many hundreds of individual cells connected in series and/or parallels, and through cell interconnects, control circuits, and cabling and thermal management.
