Zug, CH - November 8, 2016. Linear Technology together with design partner
LION Smart, a subsidiary of LION E-Mobility AG, are demonstrating the
industry's first wireless automotive battery management system (BMS)
concept car at the Electronica Show this week in Munich, Germany (Booth
524, Hall A4).
This wireless BMS concept car, developed by LION Smart GmbH, combines
Linear's highly accurate battery stack monitors with its SmartMesh wireless
mesh networking products and LION Smart's state-of-the-art Open Source BMS
in a BMW i3.
This demonstration of a fully wireless BMS car represents a significant
breakthrough that offers the potential for improved reliability, lower cost
and weight, and reduced wiring complexity for large multicell battery
stacks in electric and hybrid/electric vehicles.
In addition wireless connectivity enables more flexible placement of
battery modules. Wireless connectivity also enables more flexible placement
of battery modules, and makes possible the installation of sensors in
locations previously unsuitable for a wiring harness.
Erik Soule, Vice President, Signal Conditioning Products for Linear
Technology, stated, "New designs of electric and hybrid/electric vehicles
are increasing rapidly and all of the major automotive manufacturers are
searching for ways to improve the performance and reliability of their
battery management systems as they move into higher volume production. The
wireless BMS concept car, realized through the expertise of LION Smart's
BMS design, showcases our product vision."
Mr. Daniel Quinger, CEO of LION E-Mobility, stated, "One of our goals in
this ambitious project is to demonstrate the improvement in range and
charging time that can be achieved by using the latest technologies in
partnership with leading global players. Combining Kreisel Electric's laser
welded 18650 modules with direct liquid cooling and Linear Technology's
SmartMesh IP wireless mesh and the LTC6811 battery monitoring IC, together
with LION Smart's Open BMS, enabled a unique battery system with record
braking charge time of just 15 minutes, an energy capacity of over 55kWh,
with a range of over 400km. This represents a truly remarkable
accomplishment."
The wireless BMS concept car, featuring the BMW i3, shows the promise of
wireless technology to significantly improve reliability and simplify the
design of automotive battery management systems. LION Smart is looking
forward to a bright future by continuing its outstanding partnership with
Linear Technology.
