Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electric vehicles (EVs) and the energy storage industry due to their high energy density and long cycle life. As their price decreases, lithium-ion batteries will continue to be used in the future.
Battery management systems (BMSs) are the key component to ensure the stable and reliable operation of battery systems. They monitor battery operation data, estimate the battery state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH), conduct battery balance, manage thermal systems, and perform fault diagnosis. BMS-related hardware and algorithms have developed rapidly in recent years. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to demonstrate the latest BMS-related technologies, such as SOC and SOH estimation algorithms, balance systems, wireless BMSs, and second-life battery applications.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Battery management system hardware and algorithms;
- Battery modeling;
- Battery parameter identification;
- Battery state of charge (SOC) estimation;
- Battery state of health (SOH) estimation;
- Battery fault diagnostics;
- Battery balance or equalization topology and method;
- Battery thermal management;
- Battery second-life application;
- Wireless BMSs.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Batteries is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
