BMS (Battery Management System)

This calculator (an electronic system) is built into the batteries. It manages the charging and draining of rechargeable batteries and balances the current. The BMS also prevents under or over-voltage charging, as well as overheating that can damage batteries and other components. More generally, the BMS continuously monitors the battery’s status. This vital system therefore optimizes electric vehicle batteries in terms of safety and longevity.
