3.3
battery management system; BMS
electronic system which is connected with the battery, capable of cutting off the circuit under overcharge, overcurrent, overdischarge and overheating, and used to monitor and/or manage the state of the battery, calculate secondary data, report data and/or control the environment to influence the safety, performance and/or service life of the battery
Note 1: Overdischarge cut off is not mandatory if there is an agreement between the cell manufacturer and the customer.
Note 2: The functions of BMS may be available on the battery or on the equipment using the battery.
Note 3: The BMS may be separated, possibly with a part in the battery and a part at the application end.
Note 4: The BMS is sometimes also referred to as a BMU (battery management unit).
Note 5: The functions of BMS may be assigned to the battery or equipment using the battery.
[Source: IEC 62619:2022, 3.12]
3.4
battery system
system comprising one or more cells, modules or batteries
Note 1: It has a BMS capable of controlling current in case of overcharge, overcurrent, overdischarge, and overheating.
Note 2: Overdischarge cut off is not mandatory if there is an agreement between the cell manufacturer and the customer.
Note 3: The battery system may have cooling or heating units, some of which have charge-discharge module, inverter module, etc.
Note 4: In this document, the requirements for the battery system are equivalent to those for batteries.
