Battery Management Systems: Common Pitfalls

We’ve been seeing inconsistent performance from our battery storage system. I suspect it’s the BMS. What are some common pitfalls and fixes for these systems?

Ensure your BMS firmware is up to date. Outdated software often causes mismanagement of charge/discharge cycles.

Watch for temperature imbalances across battery cells. A good BMS should alert you to uneven heating, which is a major issue.

Make sure your BMS is correctly calibrated for the specific chemistry of your batteries. A mismatch can lead to poor performance or even safety risks.
