Next-generation Battery Management Systems for LiFePO4

The Verne Power Battery Management System (BMS) has been designed from the ground up to be the BMS of choice for application of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries in Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs), Energy Storage Solutions (ESS) and autonomous (agri-) robots.

Its combination of features is unique: a Modular Design, Smart Heating, Active Balancing, Connected Charging, Broad Inverter Compatibility, CAN-bus and RS485 support and fully configurable using our own app. Plus all the basic protections and an accurate State of Charge (SoC) algorithm.

Our battery management system is the reliable, smart choice and offers excellent value for money.

Key Features

For light electric vehicles, energy storage systems and robotics

Overcurrent Protection

The BMS can be configured to allow the brief surge currents that are common during engine start-up. In case of prolonged overcurrent, protection kicks in as desired to protect battery and system – a sound balance between safety and usability.

Smart Heating

When a charger is connected, the BMS will automatically heat-up the battery cells first if needed (typically below 0° Celsius for LiFePO4 / LFP). Charging will start as soon as the battery is warm enough. The whole process is fully automated: plug in the charger and the BMS will do the rest.

Lasting Performance

The Verne Power BMS will continuously adjust the allowed charge & discharge currents based on temperature of the battery cells. So that maximum performance is achieved while staying within specifications of the battery manufacturer – guaranteeing a long lifespan.

Active Balancing

Active balancing is superior to passive balancing. The Verne Power BMS actively transfers excess power from stronger to weaker cells. So the full capacity of the battery pack can be used without compromising the lifespan of the cells.

Accurate State of Charge

Providing an accurate State of Charge (SoC) -how much power is left in the battery- sounds simple, but is quite complicated. We have developed an advanced SoC algorithm that tracks many parameters. All to simply provide an accurate State of Charge.

Connected Charging

When connected to a CAN-enabled battery charger, our BMS will communicate with the charger so it can provide optimal voltage and current during each stage of the charging process. This will ensure the quickest and safest charge possible.

Compatibility & Connectivity

Broad compatibility & seamless connectivity

Inverter Compatibility

We are compatible with all major inverter brands for Energy Storage Systems (ESS). Including Sungrow, Deye, GoodWe, Victron, Growatt, Ingeteam, Delios, Lux Power, Sol-Ark and Sofar. Pylontech protocol support is available. Contact us in case you miss a brand.

CAN bus and RS485 support

With hardware support for CAN bus and RS485 our BMS is compatible with the most widely adopted methods in the industry. Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity options can be added on request.

Ease of Integration

Our integration capabilities are unparalleled. The Verne Power BMS is designed from the ground up to be integrated in a vehicle, Energy Storage System (ESS) or robot. Every effort has been taken to make integration as easy as possible. Protocol specifications are available on request.

Modular Architecture

Scalable and flexible design

One Interface

The BMS has a modular setup. This brings flexibility for manufacturers: one interface to the BMS irrespective of battery capacity or voltage. This reduces costs and speeds up time to market.

Mix & Match

Our modular setup allows us to flexibly create configuration by combining modules. The core module is the central module with support for up to 8 cells (up to 25,6V), the current module manages power (MOSFET <= 100A and contactor > 100A versions available) and the extension module connects an additional 8 cells (max. 9 extension modules / max. 80 cells or 256V).

Configurable & Upgradeable

The power of software

Sophisticated algorithms

Based on smart sensoring and intelligent algorithms, the Verne Power BMS is aware of how it is being used. This allows different configurations to be used for example for when a vehicle is “driving” or ” charging”. So power is not easily cut off while driving, but charge parameters are strictly enforced.

Highly configurable

Our BMS is highly configurable using Verne Power’s complementary (free) Windows application. When buying larger quantities, we can ensure BMSes are delivered pre-configured with the settings you need.

Upgradeable firmware

Firmware is upgradeable over CAN-bus or RS485 using our complementary (free) Windows application. Over The Air (OTA) firmware updates via CAN-bus of the vehicle or appliances are possible.

Dutch & Independent

Based in The Netherlands

Dutch roots

VERNE Power is based in the Netherlands. Hardware design, firmware development, software development, product assembly, stock keeping and deep support are all done locally. So we are flexible and can move quickly.

Independent

No endless supply chains or dependencies on far away suppliers with shifting priorities. We have and will keep complete control over our products and can therefore respond quickly and flexibly to whatever your needs are.
