Automotive Battery Management Systems Off-the-shelf Li-Ion BMSs for automotive applications | |
Battery management systems for Automotive applications need to operate under more demanding conditions than in energy storage applications.
- They need to have a fast response time, to react the rapidly changing cell voltages and battery current
- They need to interface with the vehicle (typically through a CAN bus) and a charger (when the ignition is off)
- They need to operate in a wide temperature range and under adverse environmental conditions
|
The Lithiumate Pro BMS was borne of Elithion's long experience with traction packs for EVs, HEVs and PHEVs.
The Lithiumate Pro is designed to interface directly with a variety of motor controller and chargers, and to manage a traction pack intelligently.
This BMS monitors, evaluates, balances and protects a Li-Ion battery pack.
- Off the shelf, plug-and-play
- For professional applications: commercial grade, metal case (not sealed)
- Distributed (a cell board is mounted on each cell: measures voltage and temperature, balances the cell)
- Minimum number of wires in HV pack, single wire to adjacent cell boards
- For large packs: up to 255 cells (~ 900 V), in up to 16 banks
- Supports all cell form factors: prismatic, small & large cylindrical, pouch
- Supports mid-voltage Lithium-ion chemistries:
- Lithium iron phosphate (LFP): LiFePO4 , LiFeYPO4
- LiCoO2 (LCO) - Lithium cobalt oxide
- LiMn2O4 (LMO) - Lithium manganese oxide
- LiNiMnCoO2 (NMC) - Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide
- LiNiCoAlO2 (NCA) - Lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide
- Protects cells from over current, under/over voltage, under/over temperature
- Dissipative (passive) balancing (top balance)
- Sophisticated, digital technology: reports each cell's voltage and temperature
- CAN and RS232 communications
- Fully configurable, field programmable
- Cable mount Hall Effect current sensor
- Contactor drivers with precharge
- Optical isolation between pack and low voltage circuit
- Pack isolation loss detection (optional)
- Compatible with these chargers
- Compatible with these motor drivers
- Graphics User Interface
