Overview
In an eBike application the battery can have different positions. It can be placed on the frame, can be integrated, can be placed as rack or in a double-configuration, it should be light-weight and have high energy density. It is usually a Li-Ion battery and the BMS protects it against failure conditions, manages its functionality and extends its lifetime.
36V is the most common battery voltage and the energy content usually varies between 250 Wh and 750 Wh.
The eBike market is exploding more and more, and Infineon is addressing the BMS functional block with the following portfolio:
