What are functional safety standards for battery management systems (BMS)?

Functional safety standards ensure that safety-related functionality in Battery Management Systems (BMS) is maintained throughout its lifecycle, mitigating risks that could compromise the system’s reliability and safety. ISO 26262 is a key standard for automotive functional safety, focusing on electrical and electronic systems, including BMS.

How safe is a Battery Management System (BMS)?

While significant research has been done to improve the BMS in terms of hardware and calculation algorithms, such as state of charge (SoC) estimation accuracy, cell balancing, and state of health (SoH) estimation, the safety aspect of the BMS functionality is rarely considered in standards.

What should be done before operating the BMS and battery?

Before operation, the BMS and battery should undergo various test run programmes. Compatibility between various systems and corresponding safety functions must be meticulously studied.

What is a BMS battery?

BMS (Battery Management System) development has stemmed from the emergence of lithium-based batteries. Unlike conventional nickel/lead-based batteries, a BMS battery does not tolerate any overvoltage and may require secondary functions to work safely, e.g., thermal management.

Is the BMS compatible with the battery?

Before operation, the BMS and battery should undergo various test run programmes to ensure compatibility between various systems and corresponding safety functions.

What are battery safety standards?

Battery safety standards refer to regulations and specifications established to ensure the safe design, manufacturing, and use of batteries.
