How integrated resistor dividers improve EV battery system performance
In modern electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), the battery management system (BMS) serves as the brain of the battery pack, responsible for ensuring battery performance, safety and longevity. The BMS monitors parameters such as state of charge, which provides insight into the remaining energy available, and state of health, which assesses the overall condition and aging of the battery cells. These metrics help maintain efficient energy usage and delay premature battery degradation.
