Battery Management

Battery management is the process of monitoring and controlling the charging and discharging of a battery in order to ensure its safety, performance, and longevity. This is typically done using a battery management system (BMS), which is a combination of hardware, software, and algorithms that are used to monitor and control the battery. A BMS may include a battery management integrated circuit (IC), as well as other components such as sensors, controllers, and communication interfaces. The BMS is responsible for monitoring the battery's state of charge, temperature, and other parameters, and for controlling the charging and discharging of the battery in order to maintain its health and performance. Battery management is important in a wide range of applications, such as portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and portable power systems.
