Redesign of a Printed Circuit Board for a Battery Management System

Abstract: The ever-increasing interest in electrical vehicles around the world creates a strong developing curve for demand for batteries in electrical vehicles. Meaning, the batteries needs to be able to function better and for a longer time without being destroyed in the process. At the same time the batteries also needs to be rechargeable to not unnecessarily pollute the environment. A battery management system ends up affecting all of this. The system uses analysing tools and specific electrical components to monitor, recharge, calculate, balance and control the battery's environment. All within the batteries safe operational area so their general life-time is prolonged. Battery management systems consists of many electrical components, a market which becomes increasingly strained from the digitisation of society. This makes the choice of suppliers even more important. Not only to ensure future production but also to hold a certain level of cost, lead-time and technical compatibility.
