Battery Management Systems
Most battery packs in the Energy Storage Market consist of multiple lithium ion cells packaged with an individual module, several of which are connected in a battery. The modules within the battery are arranged in such a way as to maximize energy output while conserving space. Efficient energy storage depends on the Battery Management System (BMS) to provide data on a real time basis to the controller. The ideal BMS will measure all facets of battery performance; voltage, amperage / current, battery temperature and even charging history. Amphenol Industrial Operations has a unique mix of products designed specifically for use within the battery modules and the BMS itself to include a variety of connector designs that will “blind-mate” as in a line replaceable module concept. For the positive and negative post connections, we offer overmolded RADSOK® single pin jumpers as well as flexible and rigged busbar solutions that connect the poles in series or parallel circuits. Circular GT receptacle pigtails connect the module’s positive and negative poles to overmolded harnesses on the outside of the battery case leading to the controller.
