STMICROELECTRONICS AEK-POW-BMSCCTX Evaluation Board, L9963E, L9963T, Battery Management System (BMS)

AEK-POW-BMSCCTX is an optimized form-factor and packaged battery management system (BMS) module based on L9963E and L9963T for battery pack easy mounting. This package is very compact. This BMS evaluation board can handle from 1 to 31 BMS nodes. The main advantage of this board is ensuring isolated connection to an external MCU. 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. This increases the overall battery storage, providing robust performance without adding unnecessary weight. It emphasizes the growing trend of making energy solutions more accessible and effective across different applications.
