[0002] The battery management system in new energy electric vehicles is generally used to manage the power batteries in new energy electric vehicles, such as charge and discharge management of the power batteries, battery overvoltage and undervoltage detection, battery overcurrent and undercurrent detection, etc. When the battery management system manages the power battery, it generally collects the state parameters of the power battery, such as the power battery voltage parameters, current parameters, etc. Then, the current state of the power battery is judged based on the collected power battery state parameters.

[0003] In the prior art, when the collected state parameters are not within the standard range, it is generally considered that the state of the power battery is abnormal. For example, when the collected voltage is too low, the battery management system generally considers that the power battery is undervoltage.
