As the whole world has started moving toward “Green Technologies” with the aim of reducing global warming, almost every country is insisting the development and use of electric powered vehicles. And when electric vehicles are talked about, the backbone of such a vehicle will be its battery.

This states the importance of research and development in the field of battery design and management. Battery management system (BMS) ensures safety of the battery pack by continuous monitoring, controlling and regulating the energy storage and transfer in electric vehicles.

A BMS will collect information from sensors in the battery, controlling the charger to ensure proper charge of the battery, managing cell balance, safety control to avoid overcharge or over discharge or other major anomalies, reporting battery state, thermal conditions of the battery,

communication with the vehicle and data transfer to a computer. Considering the monitor and control of the battery charging and discharging, BMS charges a cell based on its state of the charge and discharges cell based on demand and charge available in the cell. Similarly,

battery life degradation can be reduced by monitoring the cell voltages of individual battery cells and keeping them as constant. BMS has a dedicated cell balancing unit. The temperature is also monitored and controlled by the BMS.

n any multi-cell battery chain, there are no two cells that are identical, meaning that there are always at least slight differences in the properties such as self-discharge, capacity, state of charge, impedance and temperature characteristics.

Also, when a multi-rank pack protection integrated circuit (IC) is used, its unequal draining may cause imbalance in the cells which may lead to degradation of battery life.

Packing List

 Wire connect

A single EK-C16S5A supports the use of 12 and 13 and 14 and 15 and 16 string battery packs. The wiring method is as follows:

 

EK-C16S5A supports cascading battery packs. Fox exmple, 2pcs of 16s cascade to 31s, see below drawing:

NOTE:As shown in the figure above,there can be multiple common ends of energy exchangeso that the efficiency of equilibrium will be higher;It is also possible to use only one common end of theenergy exchange atthejunction of two modules.

The other free feet are suspended, and it is best todistribute the number of strings equally on each board.If you need the cascade diagram for more strings, Please contact our online service, Thanks.
