Latin America. Sensible Technologies announced its new battery management systems. The brain behind the battery for a wide range of electric vehicles, the BMS is the intelligent component that monitors and manages lithium-ion battery packs.
Lithium Balance's new i-BMS battery management system, acquired by Sensata earlier this year, is an integrated, compact and independent BMS of cellular chemistry developed for mass production with optimized costs of applications up to 60 V, such as 2-, and 3-wheelers, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robotics.
The i-BMS is a long-term solution for customers who require the highest levels of safety, performance and measurement accuracy. The solution includes key components with ASIL C safety rating and self-testing capability for safety-critical measurement circuits.
Although it measures only 65 x 200 mm, the i-BMS is equipped with everything you need to manage and maintain a battery system without the need for any external components. This includes a built-in preload circuit, built-in current measurement, MOSFET power switches to disconnect the battery, and a DC/DC power supply.
The i-BMS software design features a parallel package and hot-swap capability, while Advanced SoX algorithms ensure high accuracy. Using BMS Creator configuration software, the i-BMS allows the battery designer to create a unique battery by defining application-specific BMS parameters and safety strategies, optimizing performance and battery life.
