Typical System Diagram

hIGH VOLTAGE

While a vehicle’s power system sees a battery pack as a single, high-voltage battery — charging and discharging the entire battery pack at once — the battery control system must consider each battery’s condition independently.

 

COUNTLESS APPLICATIONS

LOW VOLTAGE

A proper system will continuously monitor important battery parameters for low voltage applications, while dealing with the varying power demands of the many aspects of operation and optimizing the usage of the battery.

LARGE SCALE SYSTEMS

The service life of a battery pack is tied to the weakest battery in the system. In the balancing process, each of the batteries within the string is maintained at optimal voltage levels, eliminating the ill-effects of improper charging.
