Operating BattSense

BattSense Battery Management System

BattSense is the cost-effective, modular, high-performance Battery Management System for all your mobile and stationary energy storage packs.

The BattSense BMS with dynamic cell balancing (between 0-5 Vdc!) is designed to provide maximal safety, efficiency and an increased lifespan for cell-based electrical energy storage solutions.

With this technology, we are in full control of hardware and software, which distinguishes BattSense from many other traditional BMS solutions. BattSense can be completely engineered for the needs of your specific application.

Moreover, as one of the only BMS technologies with the ability to balance in a cell voltage range between 0-5Vdc, BattSense is the ideal BMS for sodiom-ion batteries, but has also benefits for solid state batteries.

The BattSense basic BMS can be extended with several software algorithms on SOX.

Features & benefits

Improving performance

  • Simultaneous measurement of the voltage of all cells to ensure accurate calculation with two-digit performance improvement of the state of charge and combine it with an estimate of the State of Health (SoH)of the battery.
  • Permanent dynamic cell balancing during charging and discharging of individual cells
    • Increase in cell life expectancy repairing cell imbalances at an early stage
    • Battery is kept in balance which ensures optimal performance of the battery system
  • Dynamic and safe processing for improved battery capacity utilisation, including voltage, current and temperature interdependence

Increased flexibility

  • Easy to install with automatic configuration to reduce installation and maintenance costs
  • Remote communication possible to perform configurations and firmware updates remotely
  • Customizable model-based multi-chemistry secondary cell support: Li-Ion, Pb-Ac (and NiMH under validation)
  • Support in Ultra-Caps / Lithium-Caps enabling hybrid configurations of battery cells and ultracaps
  • High-current battery pack design (48Vdc) possible
  • High voltage pack design up to 800Vdc (210 cells in series)

Operation in utmost safety

  • Safety measurements at both cell and system levels (voltage, temperature, current, isolation fault detection) with configurable notifications and alarms
  • Dynamic and safe workshop for additional individual cell protection
  • Regular checks of physical connections between cells and voltage balancing units to further improve reliability
  • Reduced heat dissipation due to limited balancing currents which reduces costs in electronic components
  • External power supply to ensure better battery casing life
  • Charge and discharge relays are operated independently

Advanced communication

  • Data logging via optional SD card
  • Remote management via GPRS, TCP/IP
  • Ethernet and CAN bus for power management support
