Power Pack and Charging
5.2
Battery Management System (BMS)
Every power pack contains a Battery Management System
(BMS) which monitors the condition of the cells, and
optimizes the charging process to provide the highest
performance, longest range, and longest life for the power
pack.
The BMS safeguards the power pack by means of safety
interlocks. These interlocks turn off or control certain
operations that could damage the power pack. See
“Safety
Interlocks”, on page 7.16 for more information.
The BMS also monitors the power pack for a host of
predefined conditions, and then takes actions according to
those conditions. See,
“Battery Management System”, on
page 7.9 and “Cold and Hot Weather Considerations”, on
page 7.15 for further information.
The BMS is sealed inside the power pack. As a rider, you
don’t need to think much about the BMS - it just silently
does its job as you charge, ride, and store your
motorcycle.
