The Vintage Voltage BMS provides battery management for Electric Vehicles (EV) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS). The primary goal of the VVBMS is allowing safe and simple reuse of Tesla battery modules, but has grown to support other OEM modules custom Lithium packs. The BMS collects voltages, temperatures and control cell balancing. It provides charger control for basic and smart CAN based chargers. All inputs and outputs pins can be configured for any BMS function, simplifying wiring.
The main features of the VVBMS include:
- Supports Energy Storage Systems and EV Applications
- Emphasis on safety through monitoring, self-test and redundancy
- Directly connects with any Tesla Battery Modules and some other OEM modules
- Touch screen display with optional VV DISP
- USB User Interface to a terminal program
- Controls smart chargers over a CAN interface
- Built in J1772 Interface
- 4 contactors and 4 relay controls with varying degrees of economization
- 4 discrete inputs with programmable logic thresholds
- Monitors battery current
- Tracks the SOC (Fuel gauge) with optional current sensor
