　　Electric vehicles must have electrical energy storage devices, and currently lithium-ion batteries are the first choice and mainstream for power batteries. When lithium-ion batteries are used in series and in groups, there are problems such as overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, and excessively high or low temperatures, which can cause rapid damage to the lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, a battery management system is required to manage them.

　　The emergence of electric vehicles is driven by global warming, environmental pollution and energy crisis. In 2015, global electric vehicle production and shipment exceeded 500,000 units respectively, of which China exceeded 370,000 units. Electric vehicles must have electrical energy storage devices, and currently lithium-ion batteries are the first choice and mainstream for power batteries. When lithium-ion batteries are used in series and in groups, there are problems such as overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, and excessively high or low temperatures, which can cause rapid damage to the lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, a battery management system is required to manage them.

　　1. Lithium-ion battery

　　Lithium-ion batteries refer to batteries made of four main materials and casings: positive electrode, negative electrode, separator, electrolyte. The positive and negative electrode materials must be able to reversibly insert and deintercalate lithium ions, the separator must conduct lithium ions and insulate electronics, and the electrolyte must be a lithium ion solution.

　　Usually in the positive electrode material, a transition element undergoes a redox reaction, while in metallic lithium and carbon negative electrodes, metallic lithium undergoes a redox reaction. During the charging and discharging process, lithium ions transfer back and forth between the positive and negative electrodes inside the battery, and the battery moves in the external circuit. Some people vividly call this lithium ion transfer process a rocking chair, and lithium ion batteries are called rocking chair batteries.

　　Lithium-ion battery cathode materials generally use lithium-intercalated transition metal oxides, such as lithium-intercalated oxides of Ni, Co, and Mn. The negative electrode material must choose a lithium-embedded compound with a potential as close as possible to metallic lithium, such as various carbon materials, SnO, SnO2, silicon alloys, etc.

　　The electrolyte commonly uses LiPF6 solutions, and the solute is organic matter. Commonly used ones include ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), and low-density diethylene carbonate (DEC). The separator is mainly made of olefin polymers. Porous composite membrane; shell materials include steel, aluminum, plastic, aluminum-plastic film, etc. The typical structure of lithium-ion battery is as follows:

　　Typical parameters of lithium-ion batteries include: capacity, internal resistance, voltage; lithium-ion battery characteristic parameters include: cycle life, discharge platform, self-discharge rate, temperature performance, storage performance, etc. Lithium-ion battery safety tests include: overcharge, short circuit, needle puncture, drop, water immersion, low voltage, vibration, etc.

　　Lithium-ion batteries are relatively delicate, and their charging and discharging are multi-variable, nonlinear and complex electrochemical processes. If the conditions for charging and discharging cannot be met, it is prone to rapid decline in life, performance degradation, fire, explosion and other events, because lithium Ion batteries are very sensitive to temperature, voltage, current, etc.

　　2. Development of battery management system

　　Early battery management systems include: the BADICHEQ and BADICOaCH systems designed in Germany in 1991, the battery management system used by General Motors EV1 in the United States, and the high-performance battery management system called BatOPt developed by the American AC Propulsion company.

　　At the earliest in China, some universities relied on their own scientific and technological advantages to jointly carry out some research work with some large automobile and battery manufacturers. Tsinghua University provided a battery management system for the EV-6568 light electric bus, and Tongji University and Beijing Xingheng jointly developed Lithium-ion battery management system, Chunlan Research Institute developed HEV-BMS system, Beijing Institute of Technology and Northern Jiaotong University and other major electric vehicle sub-projects of the National 863 Plan have also developed distinctive battery management systems. With the launch of the electric vehicle market, many commercial products have been applied in large quantities.
