Li-ion battery pack charging process and monitoring in electric vehicle

Abstract

This paper presents the charging process procedure of Li-ion Battery pack for electric vehicle, which is implemented based on constant current and constant voltage (CC-CV) mode. All the information???s regarding battery voltage level, state of charge (SOC) during charging and discharging processes, and battery temperature, is displayed on computer via battery management system (BMS). During the charging process, the BMS monitors the voltage balancing in Li-ion battery pack, as well as the cells voltage in each module. The voltage difference between the highest voltage cell and the lowest voltage cell is very small, which validates the voltage stability and balance in battery pack during the charging and discharging processes.
