Swappable Battery Management System (BMS) For Light Electrical Vehicles (LEVs)

Abstract

As the use of Light Electric Vehicles continues to grow, there are increasing requirements for energy-efficient solutions and quick battery charging time frames. This paper will present our proposed Battery Management System (BMS) Solution. Through our proposed BMS Solution we will achieve fast battery swaps, and reduce the total amount of idle time for these vehicles. Through the use of our BMS Solution, voltage, current, temperature and state-of-charge (SOC) can be accurately monitored to provide for safe and efficient operation. In addition, our BMS Solution provides over-charging, over-discharge and over-temperature protection. Our proposed BMS Solution is modular and supports the fast swap out of battery packs; as different battery packs can be used with our proposed BMS Solution. Lastly, there is also a capability to monitor the battery swap process over the internet through an online interface provided by our proposed BMS Solution.
