Lithiumate™ Pro controllers
Masters and High Voltage Front Ends (HVFE)
Elithion offers a range of Li-Ion Battery Management System controllers to form the core of a Li-Ion BMS.
BMS controllers:
- Required
- Manage the battery
- Communicate with cell boards and with the rest of the system
- Available at the board level, or encased
- Optionally, may be connected to an HV Front End through the CAN bus
|
Master, board level (above) and enclosed (below).

High Voltage Front Ends:
- Optional
- Lets the controllers perform certain tests before turning on contactors
- May include an on-board current sensor
- Available at the board level, or encased
- Communicates with the BMS controller through the CAN bus
A Remote HV Front End:
- Keeps the high voltage away from the BMS controller
- Keeps any electrical noise away from the BMS controller
- May simplify the layout of high voltage cabling

|
High Voltage Front Ends:
- A master and a High Voltage Front End in a single enclosure
- The HV Front End includes circuits that are connected to the Battery and are therefore at high voltage. Putting those circuits on a separate board improves safety in the BMS controller and reduces the chance of electrical noise interference to it.

This table lists all the available controllers.
Note: * = An external current sensor, is required, unless the battery current value is already present on the CAN Bus.
