BMS devices are used to control cell charge, and monitor the status and health of batteries in many electronic applications, ranging from power tools, to e-bikes and scooters, to hybrid and full battery electric vehicles. These systems can range from a few volts for outdoor garden equipment to 100€™s of volts in the latest automobiles. The battery stacks in these vehicles require very precise charging and discharging of individual cells to provide the highest level of safety and longevity. This session will focus on the current and future trends around BMS devices for automotive and some key test challenges the industry is working to address.
