Altertek were commissioned to design and manufacture a custom Battery Management System for use in a high performance automobile jumpstart pack.
One of the key features of the design is the 800A peak load passing through the BMS switch. The switching mechanism had to use multiple high output MOSFET transistors to satisfy the requirement for short circuit protection which was a real challenge both electrically and mechanically at those current levels.
The design also incorporated state of charge, USB charging and charge regulation.
This was a real challenge but the project was delivered to the client and we hope to see the design on shelves sometime soon.
Can we help you with your next Battery Management System?
