The BMS collects, processes, and stores critical information about the battery pack's operation in real time, exchanging information with external devices such as the vehicle controller. It addresses key issues in lithium-ion battery systems, including safety, availability, usability, and service life. Its primary functions are to improve battery utilization, prevent overcharging and overdischarging, extend battery life, and monitor battery status.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN218966726U discloses a battery management system and electric vehicle.
