Battery Management System (BMS) – Overview

A battery management system (BMS) is an electronic system designed to monitor, regulate, and protect rechargeable batteries by ensuring their optimal performance and safety. It tracks key battery parameters, such as voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge (SOC), to prevent issues like overcharging, over-discharging, overheating, and short circuits. A BMS also balances the charge across individual cells in a battery pack, extends battery life, and maintains its overall health. These systems are critical in applications like electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems (ESS), and consumer electronics, where battery efficiency and safety are paramount.
