wBMS-R24
The Wattius wBMS-R24 is a compact Battery Management System developed to work with up to 24-cell lithium batteries while safely providing extended isolated interface possibilities. The system has been designed to meet all relevant industry requirements such as IEC61508.
This system can monitor and balance up to 24 cells in series with total maximum voltage measurement error of ± 1,5 mV for the entire range. It features state-of-the-art low power mode as well as integrated hardware and software diagnostics.
Multiple wBMS-R24 units can be connected in parallel without additional hardware. The system automatically handles string connection and provides a single control interface with the inverter / charger.
The wBMS-R24 protects the battery by driving up to 6 power contactors, calculates advanced parameters such as SoC and SoH and features multiple interface possibilities such as CAN bus, Bluetooth, and USB.
