BMS16
Battery Management System
For 12-16 cell lithium battery packs
v1.2
Introduction
The ZEVA BMS16 is an integrated battery management system for lithium battery packs
containing 12-16 cells in series and 10-1000 Ah capacity. It is suitable for both electric
vehicle and battery storage applications. The BMS16 includes an internal power supply to
allow it to run directly from the battery pack, internal shunt resistors for automatic pack
balancing, dual solid state relay outputs for directly switching power contactors to protect
charging and discharging of batteries, and a CAN bus port for optional colour touchscreen
interface or integration with third party control systems.
The BMS16 Monitor provides information such as voltage, current, power, battery state of
charge, and all individual cell voltages. It can also be used for configuring the operating
parameters of the BMS16. It may be installed up to 50m from the BMS16 (if correct shielded
twisted pair cable is used).
Battery management systems are the last line of defence for your battery pack. In normal
circumstances it should not interfere with the battery pack's operation, only intervening
when something goes wrong and protection is required.
Safety Warning
Although 16-cell lithium battery packs do not involve lethal voltages, they frequently involve
dangerous amounts of current and power. Proper precautions and electrical safety procedures
should always be observed. Please read this manual carefully to ensure correct installation
and operation. If you are unsure of anything, please contact us before proceeding.
We have endeavoured to make a safe and reliable product which performs as described,
however since ZEVA has no control over the integration of its products into a battery system,
we can assume no responsibility for the final safety or functionality of the completed
installation. It is up to the end user to determine the suitability of the products for the purpose
employed, and the end user assumes all risks associated. Products should only be installed
by suitably qualified and experienced persons, and should always be used in a safe and
lawful manner.
