This chapter gives general information on Battery Management Systems (BMS) required as a background in later chapters. Section 2.1 starts with the factors that determine the complexity of a BMS and shows a general block diagram. The function of each part in a BMS is discussed in more detail in section 2.2 and examples of adding BMS intelligence are given. The BMS aspects of two types of portable devices are discussed in section 2.3. This serves to illustrate the theory presented in sections 2.1 and 2.2.
