Viritech Launches a High-Performance, Versatile, Battery Management Ecosystem
Range of Battery Management System (BMS) Hardware & Software Solutions
Launch products include BMS Controller, BMS Module Level Unit and BMS Cell Interface
Designed to meet or exceed the requirements for integrating high performance battery cells into battery packs for automotive, marine and aerospace applications
BMS Controller supports sampling rates of >250 Hz with up to 768 voltage and 512 temperature measurements via Module Level Units
HORIBA MIRA, Nuneaton, 30 January 2024
Viritech, the leading hydrogen powertrain solutions provider, today launches its Battery Management Ecosystem, focused on delivering high performance, volume optimised solutions for OEM and Tier-1 manufacturers seeking to integrate high performance battery systems.
At launch the ecosystem includes:
- BMS Controller: A top level, high performance, hardware ASIL capable, battery management system controller with advanced SoX algorithms (Charge, Health, Energy, Power), high speed sampling (>250hz) and support for 64 Module Level Units offering 768 voltage and 512 temperature inputs
- Module Level Unit: Designed and optimised to integrate at the module level within a battery pack providing direct measurements of cell voltage and temperature to the BMS Controller
- Cell Interface Board: Provides rapid integration of the Module Level Unit with the individual cells within the battery pack. Viritech’s engineering services can design and produce bespoke Cell Interface Boards as required for specific cell integration on request, with a standardised interface board available for development and prototype vehicle use
All products within Viritech’s Battery Management Ecosystem are designed for high volume manufacture, with hardware capable of ASIL compliance, subject to the end application, with low volume available for development and prototype vehicle use.
With the launch of the Battery Management Ecosystem, Viritech continues its drive to provide high performance, volume production compatible, enabling technologies for zero emission applications including FCEV and BEV that provide a clear path from prototype to production vehicle for OEMs and Tier-1s
