BaMoS
The Innovative Battery Monitoring Solution for Automotive Applications
In various industries, batteries serve as vital components, powering a wide array of applications.
Whether in electric vehicles (EVs) or stationary energy storage systems, the performance and longevity of batteries are of utmost importance. BaMoS introduces an innovative approach to battery monitoring, utilizing ultra-thin printed pressure and temperature sensors to capture detailed battery data down to the individual cell level.
With BaMoS, Flexoo offers a comprehensive battery monitoring solution, comprising sensor foils, electronics for data collection and processing, and software for real-time visualization, storage, and analysis.
The flexibility of BaMoS extends to customizable pressure and temperature sensors, allowing adaptation to specific customer requirements.
Throughout the charge and discharge cycles, batteries undergo volume fluctuations, resembling "breathing”.
BaMoS capitalizes on this phenomenon by deploying printed pressure sensors strategically around and between battery cells. Monitoring these pressure changes provides insights into cell state-of-charge, facilitating preventive measures against overcharging and enabling cell balancing. This optimization maximizes battery capacity and lifetime by rectifying variations in the state of charge between cells within a battery pack. Moreover, BaMoS sensors can provide data from each individual cell, offering a granular view of battery health.
Optimal pressure significantly impacts battery lifespan, potentially improving cycle lifetime by 30 to 40 percent.
Temperature monitoring is equally crucial, especially in environments where lithium-ion batteries are deployed. Temperature variations can affect battery performance, with cold conditions posing particular challenges. BaMoS integrates printed temperature sensors to detect temperature fluctuations, enabling proactive identification of potential issues. In colder climates, BaMoS can activate printed heating elements to raise battery temperature, enhancing energy output. Additionally, temperature data aids in optimizing cell balancing strategies.
