Why opt for an integrated ‘BMS + battery cell’ design?

Many battery manufacturers limit themselves to pack assembly, sourcing their BMS and battery cells from external suppliers; when problems arise, the three parties tend to pass the blame onto one another. Smartec, however, adheres to an integrated ‘BMS + battery cell’ design, which offers three key advantages:

Greater compatibility: Our in-house developed SmarTEC BMS is specifically calibrated to the characteristics of our own battery cells, achieving approximately 5% higher SOC estimation accuracy than generic solutions, whilst charging and discharging strategies are better aligned with the cells’ chemical properties.

Faster fault response: The integrated design ensures that communication protocols and protection thresholds between the BMS and the battery cells are fully synchronised, enabling millisecond-level disconnection in the event of an anomaly, thereby providing greater safety assurance.

Greater peace of mind regarding after-sales service: a single phone call is all it takes to resolve any issues, eliminating the need for back-and-forth coordination between BMS and cell manufacturers.

For projects prioritising stability and long service life, the integrated design offers a more hassle-free solution.
