SBMS – Scalable Battery Management System

Spear’s veteran team of hardware and software engineers have developed battery management electronics for portable electronics, unmanned vehicles, advanced weapons, aircraft, and large scale stationary storage.  Spear’s next generation SBMS builds upon the lessons learned from both this breadth of experience and working with leading industry technology partners.  The modular architecture allows for the same circuit and software blocks to be used for 12V to 1250V applications, as well as for deployments of individual modules versus dozens of parallel strings.  The SBMS works with all lithium ion cell chemistries, giving customers a dependable, common communications interface across different applications thereby compressing development and commissioning times.  The state of the art SBMS electronics gather the temperature and voltage measurements of each cell more quickly and precisely than other solutions, providing enhanced safety and more accurate prediction of the battery’s state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH).
