【Note】
Battery pack for replacement is an exclusive service parts for the main unit and TOCAD ENERGY does not sell them. Please contact the manufacturer or distributor of the main unit.
Cells are the battery cells produced by specialized manufacturers. They come in a cylindrical, rectangular, or pouch shape, among others. They are made from diverse materials, which differ by application, operating environment, and required properties. They are also called unit cells.
BMS
(Battery management system)
BMS is a system that manages a battery through real-time monitoring of the lithium ion battery's input and output current, each cell's voltage and temperature, and other variables. It protects a battery pack from overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, and temperature/hardware abnormality. BMS is also capable of communicating data on the battery's state to external devices in addition to monitoring it.
Module (core pack)
A module is a cluster of cells (batteries) that are wired and combined with each other. Protective parts and a protective circuit are added to a module as necessary.
Pack
A module in an outer casing is called a pack. Packs are categorized into soft packs or hard packs depending on the outer casing material.

*What is BMS?
BMS, the battery management system, manages a battery through real-time monitoring of the lithium ion battery's input and output current, each cell's voltage and temperature, and other variables. It protects a system from overcharge, over discharge, overcurrent, and temperature/hardware abnormalities (such as center tap, TH open/ short circuit, MPU runaway, and FET failure).
BMS is also capable of communicating data on the battery's state to external devices in addition to monitoring it.
