BMS Project OverviewBattery monitoring system for a solar powered race carMaintain batteries in a safe to operate and efficient stateFor Solar Jackets entry into the American/World Solar ChallengeCost: $1200
*
What Does the BMS Do?It Monitors:Li-ion Cell Over/Under VoltagesLi-ion Cell Over CurrentBattery Pack Over TemperatureTransmits/Receives acquired data via RS-485 to racer systems
*
BMS Current Design StatusPrototype able to:Measure module currentMeasure module temperatureElectrically isolate the Li-ion cells
*
Data Collected by the BMSData structure including:Voltage data (individual cells/module)Module temperatureModule current
*
