What is a Battery Management System / How does a BMS work?

I go through the theory of a BMS and why they are so important in a lithium battery bank. I then show a practical example with a battery balancer to equalize cells in a battery bank due to the issues with charging cells in series.

You explained BMS better than anyone else Ive come across, thanks.

Hello Martin,
I have been watching many many instructional videos regarding charging Li-Ion Batteries and BMS around it. But, none of the instructions were able to explain as elaborately and as the simplest way, you have explained. Your teachings just went into my brain and I could understand the basics of charging the above cells. You are a great Teacher. Thank you.

I've been watching a lot of battery videos with reasonable comprehension, but everything you said was so clearly explained and well presented I understand it all perfectly now! Thank you, you're a champ :)
