Abstract
Electric Vehicles (EV) or Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PHEV) batteries can have a second life in other vehicles, in stationary electrical energy storage systems, or in academic or research projects. For this purpose, it is necessary to control and access the battery data through a Battery Management System (BMS), which is often not available in open source, therefore, it is necessary to install and/or develop a new BMS. This article discusses BMS and its features that aim to improve the performance of electric vehicles, optimizing battery capacity during charging and discharging, ensuring the safety and lifetime of a traction battery, promoting sustainable mobility. The process of developing, building, and testing a BMS is presented in this work. It should also be noted that the developed BMS is software configurable, so it can be used with other batteries of the same technology. The battery model under study and the reason to produce a new BMS are briefly reported, as well as the choice of MAX17852, as the data-acquisition Integrated Circuit (IC) used to monitor the battery cells. This work describes the steps taken during the design of all BMS components, including the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) design and assembly process, as well as functional tests. It is also addressed the used communication protocols between the BMS elements/components.
