ENEPAQ TinyBMS - Model s516 - Customizable Battery Management System
Customizable Battery Management System: Tiny BMS s516 (30A Peak Discharge); Battery Management System (BMS) 30A – The Tiny BMS is an essential component for every Lithium battery. Enepaq Tiny BMS supports lithium batteries of any chemistry and up to 60 V nominal. Battery capacity from sub-1 Ah to 655 Ah can be managed easily. Tiny BMS measures individual voltages of parallel cell groups and manages the switching of load and charger. During charging, cells are balanced by bleeding off higher cells to accomplish full balance and maintain good health of the battery pack. State-of-Charge is calculated as well, and is available via communication bus to be displayed for the user.
Safe and Secure Battery Connection
For safe and reliable operation, it’s crucial to follow the correct sequence when connecting the Tiny BMS s516 to your battery pack. Improper connection can damage both the battery and the BMS. For detailed instructions, please refer to the Tiny BMS s516 manual on page 12, paragraph 2.3.2, Tiny BMS battery pack connection sequence. This section outlines the step-by-step process for safe battery pack connection.
Low-Current Handling: Manage battery packs with discharge currents up to 30A (peak) and sustained currents of 15A, making it suitable for moderate-power applications.
Advanced Cell Management:
- Monitor individual cell voltages of 4 to 16 series-connected Lithium-ion cells (4s-16s).
- Balance cells to maintain equal charge levels and prolong battery life through dissipative balancing up to 150 mA.
Comprehensive Protection:
- Voltage and Current Cutoff Protection: Disconnects the battery to prevent over-charging or over-discharging through programmable voltage thresholds.
- Battery Pack Thermal Management: Monitors battery temperature and can be configured to take corrective actions, such as reducing charge or discharge current, to prevent overheating. Shuts down the battery pack if it exceeds user-defined temperature limits measured by internal or external sensors (supports up to two external temperature sensors).
- Automatic Recovery: Recovers from warning or fault states after a timeout period or manual intervention.
