STMICROELECTRONICS AEK-POW-BMSCC Evaluation Board, L9963E, Battery Management System (BMS)

AEK-POW-BMSCC is an optimized form-factor and packaged battery management system module based on L9963E for battery pack easy mounting. This is a very compact battery management system (BMS) evaluation board that can be used in a centralized daisy chain as an intermediate node, where the first node is an AEK-POW-BMSCCTX. As an intermediate node, the AEK-POW-BMSCC can be part of a chain of up to 31 BMS nodes. The ability to easily integrate into a system, compact dimensions, and a wide range of applications make this compact BMS system ideal for any solution enhancing battery life, efficiency, and cost effectiveness during use and operation. The small size allows for greater flexibility in battery pack installation, addressing challenges of using a BMS in confined spaces. Its compact design allows it to fit easily, enabling more batteries to be installed within the same volume. This increases the overall battery storage, providing robust performance without adding unnecessary weight.
