Preliminary Study of a Novel Lithium-Ion Low-Cost Battery Maintenance system

The expected increase of the diffusion of Light Electric Vehicles will lead to many issues, as the lack of widely distributed assistance centers, which needs to be addressed in advance. Nowadays, the Light Electric Vehicles battery packs are not easily accessible. Hence, this paper provides a new battery packaging concept, which allows easier access to the single cells and proposes an innovative low-cost maintenance system architecture. The new system can diagnose the battery independently of the BMS, allowing the workshop to provides maintenance and assistance services to the faulty device.
