Abstract

Batteries have become the main power source in today’s automotive systems. This paper proposes the design of a fast-balancing passive battery management system (BMS) with remote monitoring for the automotive domain. This system is designed for four series-connected lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, which are the preferred choice in the automotive industry. The results show that the proposed BMS can monitor the cell voltages with an error lower than 0.12%, and it can perform the balancing operation successfully with maximum currents of 750 mA during both charging and discharging cycles, not only for LiFePO4 cells, but also for lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells. Furthermore, the cell voltages are sent over the controller area network (CAN) interface for remote monitoring.
