Learn about battery pack current measurement and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) requirements within battery management systems (BMSs). As the transition from nonrenewable to renewable energy sources accelerates, batteries are becoming a prominent energy storage device.
The battery management system (BMS) is the main safeguard of a battery system for electric propulsion and machine electrification. It is tasked to ensure reliable and safe operation of battery cells connected to provide high currents at high voltage levels. In addition to effectively monitoring all the electrical parameters of a battery pack system, such as the
If we want more power then we need more voltage or more current. We could: use a large battery cell; put more cells together in series / parallel; The problem is Joule Heating = I 2 R. This means that if we double the current the heat losses in every resistive element increase by a factor of 4. That includes: busbars; fuses; contactors; joints

Combine the results for total pack voltage and capacity; Example: Let''s design a battery pack using 18650 cells (3.7V, 3000mAh each) with a 4S3P configuration (4 series, 3 parallel). Voltage calculation: 4 cells in series: 4 × 3.7V = 14.8V; Capacity calculation: 3 cells in parallel: 3 × 3000mAh = 9000mAh (9Ah) Final result: Total pack voltage
Most cars use 12V lead-acid batteries. These provide the high current needed to start the engine. Electric vehicles (EVs) use much higher voltages. Many EV battery packs operate at 400V or more. This higher voltage allows for more efficient power delivery to the electric motors. RVs often have two battery systems. A 12V starter battery for the engine, and
The operating voltage of the pack is fundamentally determined by the cell chemistry and the number of cells joined in series. If there is a requirement to deliver a minimum battery pack capacity (eg Electric Vehicle) then you need to understand the variability in cell capacity and how that impacts pack configuration.
The voltage of a battery pack is determined by the series configuration. Each 18650 cell typically has a nominal voltage of 3.7V. To calculate the total voltage of the battery pack, multiply the number of cells in series by the nominal voltage of one cell.
Increasing or decreasing the number of cells in parallel changes the total energy by 96 x 3.6V x 50Ah = 17,280Wh. As the pack size increases the rate at which it will be charged and discharged will increase. In order to manage and limit the maximum current the battery pack voltage will increase.
However, all of this takes time and hence please use this as a first approximation. The battery pack mass is roughly 1.6x the cell mass, based on benchmarking data from >160 packs. However, there are a number of estimation options and always the fallback will be to list and weigh all of the components.
As a battery pack designer it is important to understand the cell in detail so that you can interface with it optimally. It is interesting to look at the Function of the Cell Can or Enclosure and to think about the relationship between the Mechanical, Electrical and Thermal design.
It contains both primary and secondary protections to ensure safe use of the battery pack.
