Olelon Energy’s In-House Developed LiFePO4 Battery Management System (BMS)
BMS (Battery Management System) is a crucial component of lithium batteries. The primary functions of a BMS are to monitor and control various parameters of the battery to ensure its safety, reliability, and lifespan. Specifically, the functions of a BMS include:
- Battery Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of each battery cell’s voltage, current, and temperature.
- Battery Protection: Take immediate action to protect the battery from overcharging, over-discharging, excessive current, and abnormal temperatures to prevent damage.
- Energy Management: Calculating and displaying the remaining battery capacity and available time, ensuring users are aware of the battery status.
- Balanced Charging: During the charging process, the BMS ensures that each battery cell reaches the same voltage through a balancing circuit, thereby extending the battery pack’s lifespan.
- Fault Diagnosis: Real-time detection of the battery pack’s operational status and providing diagnostic information in case of faults.
Benefits for Batteries
- Extended Lifespan: Effectively managing the charging and discharging process and temperature of the battery prevents overcharging, over-discharging, and overheating, thereby extending the battery’s lifespan.
- Increased Safety: Monitoring the battery status and promptly addressing abnormal situations to prevent incidents like fires and explosions.
- Optimized Performance: Ensuring each battery cell in the pack operates at optimal conditions through balanced charging and energy management, enhancing overall performance.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Real-time monitoring and fault diagnosis allow users to understand the battery status and take preventive measures, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
A Battery Management System (BMS) typically consists of the following main components:
Battery Monitoring Unit (BMU):
- Function: Monitors the voltage, temperature, and current of each battery cell.
- Components: Voltage sensors, temperature sensors, current sensors.


Main Control Unit (MCU):
- Function: Collects and processes data from the BMU, executes battery management algorithms, and controls the charging and discharging of the battery.
- Components: Microprocessor or microcontroller, memory, communication interfaces.
Communication Module:
- Function: Facilitates data transmission between the battery and external devices (such as the vehicle’s onboard computer and charger).
- Components: CAN bus, UART, SPI, and other communication interfaces.
Protection Circuit:
- Function: Disconnects the battery from external circuits in the event of anomalies (such as overcharging, over-discharging, overcurrent, or overheating) to protect the battery.
- Components: Relays, fuses, circuit breakers.
Balancing Circuit:
- Function: Ensures that each battery cell reaches the same voltage during charging, thereby extending the battery pack’s lifespan.
- Components: Active balancing circuits or passive balancing circuits.
Thermal Management System:
- Function: Manages the temperature of the battery to prevent overheating or overcooling.
- Components: Fans, heat sinks, heaters, cooling fluids, etc.
Software Component:
- Function: Implements battery management algorithms, provides a user interface, and monitors battery status.
- Components: Firmware (embedded software), application software (such as battery management software).

Olelon Energy’s lithium batteries not only provide high-performance and long-lasting battery products but also benefit from professional BMS protection, significantly enhancing safety and cost-effectiveness. We highly recommend purchasing Olelon Energy’s lithium batteries to experience top-notch battery management technology and superior product quality.
It should be noted that when a BMS sends a request, it needs to allow sufficient response time for subsequent processing intelligence. More importantly, the current overcurrent protection strategy for the BMS must be coordinated with the vehicle controller and the load intelligent controller. Discordant strategies produce the unpleasant phenomenon in which strategies work well but often fail.
This is one of the significant advantages of Olelon Energy’s in-house developed BMS. Their custom-developed BMS can tailor solutions to address these issues effectively.
