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 also monitors the power pack for a host of
predefined conditions, and then takes actions
according to these conditions. Some of these
conditions are listed below. Also see Understanding
Beep Sequences on page 6-3.
•
Low Voltage
Action: When a low voltage is detected, the
beeper is sounded to alert the rider that he or she
should stop riding the motorcycle. This beeper
beeps approximately once every 10-12 seconds
when the motorcycle is being ridden and then
once every minute when the motorcycle is inactive.
•
Dangerously Low Voltage
Action: If the voltage drops to the point that may
damage the battery cells, the power pack sends a
signal to disable the motor controller and the
motorcycle will not run until the voltage returns to
an acceptable level.
