Battery Pack and BMS Integration Research

[berkgokmen14]

• BMS has wires called "cell tap harnesses." The purpose of these wires is to monitor each cell in the battery pack, so there is a connection from the BMS to each cell. How will these wires be physically connected to the cells? Does this change anything about the spotwelding process?
• BMS needs to be able to control the system by disconnecting and connecting the battery pack in certain situations. There are signals such as discharge enable signal, charge enable signal, charge safety signal, thermistors connected to the BMS, etc. How do these signals work, and what mechanism can we implement (using power relays) to decide when the bpack should be disconnected or not.
