BMS functional verification: the safety-first approach

Charged

Battery Management Systems (BMS) Electric vehicle (EV) battery packs – which can contain from a few dozen to more than 1,000 cells – must be controlled for optimum performance in terms of releasing and accepting power. Current flow into and from the pack must be monitored. These roles are all performed by the BMS.
