Lithium-ion battery packs are now the mainstay of electric transportation and renewable energy storage as the globe shifts to sustainable energy options. Every battery pack must adhere to strict regulations set forth by regulatory bodies such as the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) in order to guarantee safety, dependability, and compliance. The Battery Management System (BMS), which needs particular certifications to be approved, is a crucial part of this procedure. Lithion is here to make this process easier by giving BMS all the certifications they need to assist manufacturers in effectively meeting ARAI standards.

What
is a Battery Management System (BMS)?
A battery pack's brain is called a BMS. It ensures
longevity, safety, and efficiency by keeping an eye on and controlling the
performance of each individual cell in the pack.
A BMS's primary duties include keeping an eye on current,
temperature, and voltage.
Maintaining cell charge balance to avoid deep discharge or overcharging.
Keeping the battery safe from short circuits and thermal runaway; interacting
with external devices for control and diagnostics.
Because these functions are so important, ARAI requires the Battery management system (BMS) to undergo
extensive testing and certification before allowing any battery pack to be used
in electric vehicles (EVs) or other applications.
The
ARAI Certification Process
The battery pack's compliance with national and
international safety, performance, and environmental sustainability criteria is
guaranteed by ARAI certification, which also applies to its BMS. Usually, the
certification procedure entails:
1. Documentation Review: ARAI examines the BMS's technical requirements and
design specifics.
2. Performance Testing: A number of tests are conducted on the BMS, such as:
Thermal efficiency
Protection against overcharge and over discharge
Tolerance for faults
3. Compliance Verification: Ensuring that electric vehicles in India adhere to
standards like AIS 156 and AIS 038.
Without the proper knowledge and assistance, producers may find the extensive
certification procedure intimidating.
