Operation
Battery Management System (BMS)
The Mojave BMS will typically manage its own charging dynamically, rather than relying on the
staged charging that is common in other inverter/chargers. The BMS tracks the battery’s condition
and automatically assesses the best charging parameters based on current conditions. These
parameters are communicated to the Mojave inverter/charger using a CANBUS connection. The
inverter/charger can adjust the charging voltage and current to maintain the best performance of the
battery, while still respecting any user-set limits. There is no “typical” BMS charging cycle due to
the adaptive nature for each unique situation.
The BMS plays a critical role in the safe operation of the Mojave battery. While monitoring the
battery's condition, the BMS can communicate alerts or faults to the inverter/charger. In some
cases, the BMS may disconnect the battery pack entirely if a potentially unsafe situation is
detected, or if communication is lost.
