    APL48-50LFP liFePO Battery Operation Manual Part 2 – Product Introduction 2.1 – Overview APL-LFP lithium ion battery is a battery pack with advanced LiFePO4 technology and intelligent integrated BMS, which has the advantages of long cycle life, light weight, small size, safety and environmental protection.
  • Page 5: Battery Management System (Bms)

    APL48-50LFP liFePO Battery Operation Manual – Battery Management System (BMS) Integrated Smart BMS technology is adopted for battery modules of APL-LFP to assure smart automatic management for batteries. Features of BMS are shown as below: Overcharge Protection When the voltage of any cell is greater than the overcharge detection voltage and the duration exceeds the delay time of the overcharge detection, the protective plate judges that the over- voltage state occurs and the charging MOSFET is closed, charging to the battery pack is prohibited.
