The battery module is a crucial sub-system of all light electric vehicles that drives the performance of the vehicle in terms of top torque and kilometer range. A highly efficient battery management system utilizes the lowest drain-source on-resistance OptiMOS(TM) and StrongIRFET(TM) MOSFET for maximum short circuit current capability and lowest continuous operation conduction losses. Details about battery protection, monitoring, and cell balancing utilizing Infineon offerings, such as TLE9012 and PSoC 4 microcontroller family can be found.

There are several options for LEV battery charging - offline charger, battery charging/swapping station, and on-board charger, depending on their individual power requirements. 

• Off-board charging (link to 2kW battery charger for light electric vehicles) is the most common form to charge smaller vehicles. It is economical and easy to adopt.
• While battery charging and swapping station has been made popular by innovators in various countries in the world. It is proven to provide a convenient and time-saving way for 2 wheeler riders to get freshly charged batteries.
• Infrastructure setup of charging stations is necessary to utilize the fast charge capability of the onboard charger (OBC) for larger sized light vehicles and full-size motorcycle
