3-5S Battery Management System based on TI bq76920 IC and MSP430 uC. The design is largely influenced by the TI's TIDA-00449 reference and LibreSolar's excellent BMS-5s designs.
- 3-5 Li-ion/Po Cells
- MSP430 Microcontroller for gas gauging, balancing and serial communication
- Load current: 50A (cont.), 100A (peak) (estimated!)
- You can find the PCB on Seeedstudio's Fusion Gallery
- I'm using MSP430 Launchpad both to program the BMS in external target mode and to provide serial communication to PC.
- After modifying the TIDA-00449 firmware, which was designed for bq76930 (10S version) balancing and status report worked fine (see here)
- Add simple Python script to decode serial messages and print cell status
- Fix issues with battery voltage switching and Pre-Discharge mosfets.
- Remove soldermask for high current tracks.
- More pads for balancing resistors for higher power dissipation.
