Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides a battery management system and a switching method thereof, which can prevent fusion of a relay by preventing arcing and voltage spikes when the relay is turned off (opened). To this end, the embodiment of the present invention provides a battery management system including one or more battery packs; a master battery management unit sensing voltages and / or currents of the battery packs; main relays connected between the battery packs and loads and turned on or off by the master battery management unit; and sub relays connected to the main relays in parallel, turned on or off by the master battery management unit and having resistors, wherein when switching occurs in which the main relays are turned off, the sub relays are first turned on and the main relays are then turned off.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to and benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 774,374, filed March 7, 2013, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] Aspects of various embodiments relate to battery management systems and switching methods thereof. Background technique [0004] Vehicles using internal combustion engines that use gasoline or diesel as vehicle fuel emit harmful exhaust gases that are considered to be one of the main causes of air pollution. Therefore, in recent years, efforts to develop electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles have been actively pursued in order to reduce environmental pollution. [0005] An electric vehicle has an electric motor driven by a battery pack including a plurality of rechargeable secondary battery cells. Since an electric vehicle uses a battery pack as the main power so...
