Abstract

The steadily increasing acceptance of battery technology has created numerous opportunities for identifying new technologies and methods to improve the performance and safety of batteries used in various applications, including electric vehicles and digital devices. The current study focuses on the interaction of hardware and software for recording and monitoring battery pack data. The battery management system uses IoT technology, a microcontroller, and sensors to collect voltage and temperature data from battery cells. The individual cell voltage reached approximately 4.2 volts and achieved a full charge of 99%, which was measured locally and displayed remotely on a mobile dashboard via an IoT server. The cells are charged in parallel, and the entire charging process for all cells is completed in about 10 minutes. The battery pack temperature was continuously monitored during charging and discharging, assisting in mitigating risks and improving battery lifespan through proper data. The battery management system’s ability to monitor charging and discharging cycles and their performance allows for corrective actions and informed decision-making to ensure safe operation. Validation, testing, and demonstration of the effectiveness of the IoT-based hybrid-powered battery management system revealed its ability to detect battery performance issues and exchange data for disciplinary action. This creates a safe environment for the use of battery management systems in a variety of battery operations.
