Modular Battery & BMS Development Platform 

The future of electric mobility and energy storage depends on intelligent battery systems. At the heart of every high-performance battery pack lies a robust Battery Management System (BMS). The Modular Battery & BMS Development Platform bridges the gap between theoretical learning and real-world battery engineering. Designed for universities, R&D labs, and battery developers, this platform enables complete battery lifecycle development — from cell preparation and sorting to pack assembly, BMS algorithm design, validation, and environmental testing. It is not just a training kit. It is a full-scale battery research and validation ecosystem.

Technical Description

  • The individual lithium cells are first connected to the Cell Voltage Manager, where each cell is precisely equalized to a predefined reference voltage before pack assembly.
  • The equalized cells are transferred to the Cell Sorting Unit, which applies controlled current pulses to measure internal resistance and groups cells with similar characteristics.
  • Selected cells are assembled into configurable battery pack topologies up to 23S5P, enabling creation of custom series-parallel configurations for testing and validation.
  • The assembled battery pack is interfaced with a programmable BMS development unit, which continuously monitors individual cell voltages, pack voltage, bidirectional current, and multi-point temperature signals.
  • The BMS executes configurable protection algorithms including over-voltage, under-voltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, temperature limits, reversal detection, and imbalance protection.
  • Cell balancing is performed using selectable passive, active, or dynamic balancing strategies, allowing comparative performance evaluation under real operating conditions.
  • State of Charge (SoC) is estimated using Coulomb Counting, Open Circuit Voltage (OCV), Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), or custom user-defined algorithms deployed via firmware or LabVIEW interface.
  • The battery pack is connected to an integrated battery cycler, which performs controlled CC, CV, Constant Power, or C-Rate charge and discharge profiles up to 90V and 30A.
  • Regenerative energy during discharge cycles can be analyzed and logged for validation of efficiency and energy recovery behavior.
  • For environmental validation, the battery pack can be placed inside a temperature-controlled chamber (-10°C to 60°C) to study thermal influence on performance, protection, and SoC accuracy.
  • A high-speed data acquisition system logs voltage, current, temperature, SoC, SoH, and fault events in real time for analysis and research documentation.
  • The entire platform is managed through a LabVIEW-based graphical interface, enabling parameter tuning, algorithm modification, protection threshold configuration, and data export in CSV or image formats
