The battery is merely an energy storage and the key for all-electric vehicles is understanding how to use the battery in the most optimal way in order to secure vehicle performance over a long period of time. The operating and controlling strategies of a battery rely on the understanding of the fundamental cell constraints, which are turned into battery and vehicle control strategies, and implemented as algorithms in the battery management system (BMS): the control unit of the battery. The BMS will control and monitor the performance and status of the battery and communicate the operational constraints currently available to the control system of the vehicle. There are many cross-dependent parameters to be understood and to be incorporated in a robust and reliable control system. Input data for the BMS are the state functions, e.g. state of charge and state of health, battery temperature, and usage history, required to secure optimal performance in a durable and safe manner. How this control and communication is handled depends on the battery and vehicle manufacturers, and is not covered in this book. Instead, the underlying fundamentals will be discussed in terms of electrochemical and material constraints. In the following sections, battery control and management will be described: charge control and methods, thermal and safety management, as well as the state functions, i.e. state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), and state of function (SOF). Battery management system The battery management system (BMS) utilises a number of parameters that are linked to each other and most of the key parameters are path dependent, and the usage and environmental history affects future operational possibilities. Each of these parameters affects the battery control and management system: temperature, voltage range, current, and energy throughput. Temperature is one of the most important parameters for the BMS and the corresponding control strategies. The battery should be used within a specific temperature range, a range defined by the chemistry inside the cell. At temperatures outside this predefined range, higher as well as lower, side reactions may take place, side reactions limiting battery life and possibly causing abuse situations.

In the lithium-ion batteries for an electric-drive vehicle, the cell balancing is required to enhance life time of batteries and to guarantee safety. In the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) system, batteries of electric-drive vehicle are more frequently charged or discharged, which increases probability of cell imbalance. Therefore, battery management system (BMS) with efficient cell balancing operation is necessary. To achieve efficient management of lithium-ion batteries with high capacity for the V2G system, this paper proposes a modularized BMS structure with an active cell balancing circuit. The proposed BMS shares a multifunctional switching block for cell voltage monitoring and cell balancing. By sharing monitoring and balancing operation, a cost-effective BMS with small size can be achieved. In this paper, the structure and operational principles of the proposed BMS are presented. To confirm the validity of the proposed scheme, a prototype of 20 lithium-ion batteries with 25Ah is designed and implemented. Cell balancing performance is also verified by an experiment.

In terms of electric vehicle architectures, the drivetrain offers unprecedented freedom, but it also creates new obstacles in terms of achieving all needs. The architecture of electric vehicles is simplified and adjustable at the component level because they don't have a combustion engine or fuel tank, only an electric motor and a battery. Implementing safe zones within electric vehicles (EVs) to accommodate battery packs necessitates significant adjustments to ensure the secure integration of the battery. A Battery EV, also known as a pure EV, solely relies on rechargeable battery packs as its source of energy, without any additional propulsion system. The Battery Management System (BMS) plays a significant role in maintaining the safety of electric vehicles by controlling the electronics of rechargeable batteries, whether they are individual cells or battery packs.
