These many benefits help reduce potential BOM cost, increase battery life, and create a smaller solutionsize. While the benefits of integrating a BMS into a cordless appliance are clear, it is often not clear howto develop a BMS system. Figure 1 shows an example BMS block diagram and Table 1 lists all thedifferent customization options that will be discussed for it. From this BMS system and related circuitry, thedesigner can then expand, modify, and customize it to suit their system needs.
