Each BMS board is equipped with multiple temperature sensors and a flash microcontroller together with Balqon’s proprietary software that works with any electric vehicle’s battery cell chemistry.
Balqon said that its new battery management system incorporates a Society of Automation Engineers (SAE) J1939 controller area network (CAN Bus) capable network, which allows communication between the different components of electric vehicles, such as automatic transmission, charger and proprietary flux vector inverters.
This development increases the ability to utilize data from the key components of electric vehicles during charge and discharge cycles, and thereby increase the energy efficiency of the vehicles, the company added.
Balwinder Samra, president and CEO of Balqon, said: ”The development of our Battery Management System is a continuation of our strategy to develop customized and configurable core technologies that provide application specific solutions for our customers that are energy efficient and reliable.”
