In the modern material handling industry, electric forklifts have become the core supporting equipment of warehouses, ports and logistics distribution centers for their low emission, low noise and low operating cost advantages. The performance of on-board power battery directly determines the operation efficiency, safety and total ownership cost of the whole material handling fleet, and the battery management system (BMS) is the core control unit to realize full life cycle management of the power battery.

The basic function of a qualified BMS for material handling scenarios covers full dimension real-time data collection, which includes real-time monitoring of the voltage, current and surface temperature of each single battery cell during the whole operation process. It can effectively avoid the risks caused by over-charging, over-discharging, over-current and abnormal temperature rise, and adjust the working status of the battery dynamically according to the actual load of the forklift, no matter the equipment is under full load handling operation, low-speed standby state or high-intensity continuous shift work.

Different from BMS for ordinary consumer equipment, the BMS designed for material handling scenarios also adds targeted adaptive optimization functions. It can realize automatic balanced management of battery cells in different charge states, slow down the performance attenuation difference between different cells, and effectively extend the overall cycle service life of the whole battery pack. The system is also compatible with low temperature preheating and high temperature heat dissipation linkage logic, to keep the battery working in the optimal temperature range under different ambient working conditions, so as to reduce unnecessary energy consumption loss.
