LiPo & LiFe, LiTo Battery Management System BMS8T V3.03 Special update Add RS232 port, external device can read out all data from BMS8T Improve cell voltage detection accuracy Add over current protection during balancing Add low temperature protection(on LCD unit V3.03) Optimized SOC accuracy, new approaches are voltage based and coulomb counting, consideration the cell impedance at the same time.
The BMS8T can fit with any lithium battery charger, when any cell over charged, the BMS8T will disconnect charge relay to cut off charge, if fit with CHARGERY charger, need not the charge relay. Only connect CHARGERY charger to BMS8T on COM1, when any cell reach OVP, the charge current will decrease automatically prevent any cell damaged.
14. Supports upgrading the firmware program by USB port. 15. BMS8T provide users the maximal flexibility, key parameters can be programmed. 16. BMS8T display battery SOC or called battery gauge similar with car dashboard. Cell count, battery pack voltage and battery gauge (%) is displayed simultaneously.
