BMS

A Battery Management System (BMS) is a technology that oversees and protects rechargeable batteries, especially in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. It monitors battery health, voltage, temperature, and charge levels to ensure safe operation. The BMS prevents overcharging, deep discharging, and overheating, which can damage the battery or cause safety issues. It also balances individual cells to maintain consistent performance and extend the battery's lifespan. Essentially, the BMS acts as the "controller" that optimizes battery function, ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable energy storage and delivery.
