A battery management system (BMS) is one of the core components in electric vehicles (EVs). It is used to monitor and manage a battery system (or pack) in EVs. This chapter focuses on the composition and typical hardware of BMSs and their representative commercial products. There are five main functions in terms of hardware implementation in BMSs for EVs: battery parameter acquisition; battery system balancing; battery information management; battery thermal management; and battery charge control. Depending on the number of cells in a battery system, BMSs can generally be divided into two categories: centralized and distributed. The chapter explains some of the commercial BMS products, such as E‐Power, Klclear and Tesla, and some of the chips which can be used to design BMSs. It finally discusses three key points of the next‐generation BMSs: self‐heating management, safety management of battery systems, and the application of cloud computation in BMSs.
