The team built a battery management system to monitor and protect lithium-ion batteries for their solar car. The system monitors battery cell voltages and system current. It takes preventative action if over voltage, under voltage, over current, or over temperature is detected. The team was able to design and build a system within their $500 budget that met requirements and included additional features like active cooling and battery balancing. Testing showed the system accurately measured voltages and currents and emergency protocols engaged within milliseconds when thresholds were exceeded.
