Battery Management System
Highly reliable 12V Powernet Battery Management System
Enabling technology for increased electrification and autonomy
12V Li-ion Powernet Battery and HV Traction Battery are not the same. The BMS that powers them is even more different.
Here is why
Functional Safety
Ensuring the vehicle’s functional safety and ever increasing automated driving features, 12V BMS provides reliable power deliverability at all times.
Lifetime Prediction
Accurately tracks battery degradation and predicts necessary battery replacement to maintain uncompromised vehicle functionality.
Exceptional Reliability
Operating constantly to supply quiescent current means the HW is developed with best-in-class components for reliability and ultra low power consumption.
Main applications
Advanced Start-Stop (ICE)
Onboard Powernet (HEV or BEV)
Redundancy Power Supply (Highly Automated Vehicle)

Key software features
LV BMS ASW
Ensures the battery is always protected from all safety hazards in all operating modes.
Provides control of the charging and discharging circuit breaker pairs (dual banking) including highly robust diagnostics of all possible failures.
Monitors Powernet quiescent current and notifies vehicle’s energy management system about any abnormalities that could lead to excessive battery drain.
Provides accurate information about battery’s ability to provide power to complete a specific ‘mission profile’, e.g. automated driving or parking, in case of failure of the main power source, e.g. DCDC converter.
Provides accurate information about the batterie’s State of Charge and State of Health.
Ensures all battery cells remain well balanced.
Detects when external charger is connected to the battery terminals and engages the charging circuit breakers to begin the charging process.
Detects and notifies vehicle energy management system when the full battery charging process has been completed.
Determines and request from vehicle energy management system the full battery recharge.
Provides full system fault detection and determines the most appropriate reaction to ensure battery’s fail-safe operation.
Records key field usage and diagnostics data for offline analysis and over the air updates.
Allows for manual or over-the-air software update with A/B image swap concept.
Support for automotive calibration, diagnostic and OBD services.
