Battery Management Systems
We design and develop advanced Battery Management Systems (BMS) to ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of multi-cell lithium-based batteries.
Whether you’re working with a complex multi-cell configuration or need a high-current solution for critical applications, our team can provide a tailored BMS that optimises performance, extends battery life, and safeguards your system.
We leverage industry-leading solutions such as Maxim Integrated and Texas Instruments (TI) to deliver high-quality BMS designs suited to your specific needs.
Our Battery Management System Expertise
We specialise in creating BMS solutions for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial and high-reliability systems. Our designs are engineered to support lithium-based batteries up to 120V DC, making them suitable for everything from electric vehicles and backup power systems to high-current battery packs. Our goal is to help you achieve maximum efficiency and safety while minimising downtime and maintenance costs.
Why Do You Need a Battery Management System?
Battery management systems are essential for maintaining the health and safety of complex battery configurations. A robust BMS monitors key battery parameters like voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge to prevent issues such as overcharging, over-discharging, and thermal runaway. For high-current and high-voltage systems, a reliable BMS is crucial to ensure that all cells are balanced and performing optimally, preventing damage and ensuring long-term reliability.
Leveraging Proven BMS Solutions
To provide our clients with the most reliable and efficient systems, we often incorporate Maxim Integrated and Texas Instruments (TI) components in our designs. Both companies offer proven BMS ICs and reference designs that meet stringent safety and performance standards. By integrating these solutions, we ensure your product benefits from industry-leading technology, robust safety features, and superior power management.
