Challenge for Maxwell

The client’s objective was to find and implement a cost-effective, high-performance Battery Man- agement Systems (BMS) for a low-volume requirement, within weeks before the launch. They needed the expertise of a BMS partner who could bring in advanced technology to significantly improve the battery capacity, flexibility to customize the BMS, and offer active end-to-end support through each of the product deployment stages.

As we were gearing up for a spectacular launch of our new range of electric dirt bike models, we faced critical cell balancing challenges with our existing BMS. We also were looking for a smaller, lighter, and more reliable BMS.

Solution we provide

disruptive battery management system and intelligence platform proved to be a game-changer for the client. Our unparalleled approach was to offer not just a product but a platform and a dedicated engineer- ing team, that made it possible to constantly monitor, measure and effectively accelerate the battery’s capacity in real-time.

Our BMS helped with:

  • Measuring crucial information regarding the performance of the battery - temperature, current, voltage

  • Evaluating key parameters - State of Charge (SOC) & State of Health (SOH)

  • Managing and protecting the battery from operating outside the Safe Operating Area (SOA)

  • Configuring over 170 parameters to significantly optimize the battery performance and overcome the critical cell balancing challenge
