The best presentation for dummies like me to get an overall picture of how a BMS works. Great animation and very lucid. It removed a lot of confusion in my mind. Thanks a million!
Thank you for this informative and well explained video.I have very little knowledge of electronics,so your use of simple language helped me deepen my understanding,well done!
I Love your videos. Its simple, neat and effective. The graphics are very consistent and could see the thought process behind it. Can you give us some information where or how do you make the animations in the video?
Hi, great presentation. However, this diagram does not relate to Electric scooters or similar because the battery has an internal BMS and it connects directly to the controller and the charging port, but not the motor. The controller of an e-scooter is connected directly to the motor.
Hi Great Video. One BIG (but fairly novice) question: Does a standard BMS handle the CC/CV aspect of charging? Reason I ask is because so many vudeos show people building (sealed) series+parallel battery packs with only two wires emanating from the pack, which means that there is only the possibility of applying a single power to charge. For example, if a sealed 3S1P li-ion battery pack with a BMS is created with just two wires (the +/- combination Load/Charge leads) accessible then does that mean that an ordinary off-the-shelf 12volt DC power supply (either switching or transformer based) can be used to charge the pack? By that I mean, is the BMS taking care of doing the proper CC/CV charging of each of the internal cells? I see this question very often, but no one ever directly answers it, so I was hoping you could shed some light on this topic. If a standard 12volt DC charger cannot be used, then what charger could be used since only two wires are accessible ….and of course, a lithium balance charger would technically need 4 wires to effectively balance charge a 3S1P pack…but again most sealed battery packs that have a built-in BMS only have the two power leads accessible. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Very detailed explanation which will understandable by all level of audience. This video is nothing but a jackpot who are looking for fastrack revison before attending a electric vehicle related job interview. Thank you for adding this vital content.
My 2yr old 48v 25amp battery... Scooty stops after 2km... I checked 1st rack pack voltage low 3.4v and other packs 4.1v...so i replaced pack of 10 cells. With New 3.7v 2500mah each...old pack does not have information cell mah... Now after changing....scooty stops if speed goes above 15 Kmh... But after reconnecting if speed less than 15 kmph...drives continue... My question is bms. Faulty......or pack has to be of same mah like old one...?
I’m rookie at BMS. Quick question...Are bms only to safely charge and balance the batteries during charging time? As far as using or discharging the batteries, does the bms play a role? Ultimately, can I use my batteries on a ebike without bms and charge the batteries later on a Nitecore portable charger?
This is not a smart approach if you don't use BMS eventually you will choose your battery pretty soon, However you can use Batteries without BMS for small projects, but not for EVs
Would it not make sense for BMS to serve as a DC charge controller? Are there batteries out there so smart that they can safely make use of voltage and current in a range? For example, my ebike 48v battery wants 48v-60v@2-4amp to charge. It has a BMS. Id love to connect a 250watt 24v solar panel with with no solar charger, just a boost step up converter set to 55v@3a, but what happens when the battery is full or when voltage and current of source fluctuates?
Really nice thanks for sharing your knowledge I have questions with respect to cell balancing and charging of cells please help me 1.when this cell balancing will occur is it when charging the battery or when any cell goes more then rated voltage. 2.can you please explain how changing in battery will happence 3. please explain how this scenario works Suppose a battery contain 4 cell in it 0v is minimum 5v is maximum 3.5 is the normal operating voltage If one cell goes to 1.5v and am using passive cell balancing method and remaining cell are at 3.5 voltage Please explain when charging will happence and when cell balancing will occur
1. cell balancing occurs continuously, irrespective of charging and discharging 2. Please check this video ruclips.net/video/YtiNJATl5z0/видео.html 3. I am sorry, I did not get your question
Hi, thanks for the video, it is very nice explanation. I have a question regard the cell balancing. When it happens in EV. does it happen during charging time? if yes when exactly? DC or AC charging?
I have issues with my circuit ..would u help me I hv designed half bridge topology based smps .. i already implemented dead time in two gate input Bt when I check the input of primary of transformer then dead time does not present And if I reduced the duty cycle of gate .still transformer primary still gives 50% squre out with no dead time ..will u help me ..thank u very much
What happens in over voltage and over current situations? If two high a charge voltage is applied does the battery merely cut off the charge supply but continue to provide power? My PV controller typically goes as high as 15.2 volts on a cloudy day
My 17s battery pack is not charging above 69v I have series 13s and 4s bms There is a bit of unbalance in the cells about ± 0.05 volts Also the bms cuts the power at only at 61 volts about 3.56 per cell Please 🙏 tell me the reason so I can repair it (About two times the positive and negative terminal also get short fow a few second with bms installed)
Thank you very much for the great explanation. Could you please also explain how to make the real BMS circuit board with active balancing too? Do you have the circuit diagram please?
Can you please make a video on Modeling and simulation of battery pack's using Matlab and Simulink. What parameters need to be considered while designing BMS for an EVs? Waiting for your positive response. Thanks
I have a doubt in building the circuit with single lithium ion battery if vcc is 5v and connected to battery so this circuit is not feel safe it may catch fire at any time in order to save battery from this what should I add in between battery and I m taking 8 pin ic so I m bit confused whether I can go with transistor or any other solution for this?
I like your video and explanation, however, can the BMS handle regenerative braking ? For sure, a boost converter is needed to boost the voltage higher than actual voltage to recharge the battery pack! So can the CFET be used as a basic boost converter ? Or should one of the IGBT or Power MOSFET of the inverter be used according to the rotor position or a combination of both, CFET on BMS and IGBTs of the inverter? Thanks!
@@FoolishEngineer So if the the charger is not plug (or not connected), the µC will not sense any voltage and by default, it will turn ON the DFET to allow the motor to run. However, I do not understand how the current provided by the motor while in generative mode will be alllowed to store the energy to the batterie since the CFET is open and the diode of the CFET will not allow current to return to the battery. The only explanation is if the motor is in regenerative braking mode, as you explained, the µC will sens voltage. This will turn OFF the DFET mosfet and turn ON the CFET mosfet to allow the energy to be store! Is my explantation correct ? Thanks.
Good informative video. @2:12 you mentioned that if Voltage @ input pin is not present - BMS senses load is connected and Mosfets are closed. But this does not hold good - as why would there be voltage even if load is disconnected? Could you elaborate more on the BMS logic for Load detection.
When the BMS is in operation there will be only 2 possibilities 1. The Charger is connected 2. Load is connected But due to some fault, there might be an occurrence of a condition where the load is disconnected. If you take the eg of EVs, BMS & Motor controller talk with each other over CAN bus if some fault occurs at the load side, the Motor controller conveys the message to BMS & BMS can switch the FETs Off.
@@FoolishEngineer yes, but i'm interested in knowing logic of how BMS detects when load is connected and it should close the FETs to provide power to it?
@@royalsingh did u find the answer to this? I think BMS injects small amount of current to the load pin (this will be like a separate senory pin) which will be connected to the motor itself, so if the voltage at this pin doesn't rise that means a load is present at it's drawing that injected current.
@@sauravmehra4503 No, I didn't pursue this design but went onto make a passive one with resistive loads to burn out excess charge. Arduino could do all your calculations much easier if you are not an electronics engineer but need help with control systems.
do BMS involves Embedded System programming? I am asking this because i am thinking to join BMS company, so i want to know is it worth ti join BMS company if i want to get hands-on on Embedded System programming.
i had read that when a cell from a battery pack reaches its nominal voltage say 4.2V the charging of that cell stops while other cells keep charging till they reach 4.2V. what is the actual case?i'm really confused.

I'm very new to ebikes. If you have 10 seconds I have a quick question sir; if someone was running 2 hub motors and their combined max current from the controllers was 60 amps, and you used a battery with 50amp BMS (52v 20ah), what would happen? If you ran WOT you may trip the BMS of the battery and it come back on after a few seconds? Or something worse? Thank you!
@@FoolishEngineer can you please explain to me how a BMS can supposedly show the voltage of individual cells when they are all connected together as one battery,?

Since input and the output from the BMS is same, so how the BMS will have control on under voltage discharge.
With passive balancing, isn't the pack connected in series? Won't the cells discharge directly to the load, without passing through the balance R's?
No

What is the size of the Bypass resistors if u decide to make a passive balancing ?
it depends on the balancing current & the maximum cell voltage. so Rbypass = Vcell / Ibalance

sense resistor gives better accuracy
