Understand how garden tools work
Mowers, hedge trimmers and pruners do not operate at a constant load. Starts, stops and load changes affect current and voltage. A BMS needs to be matched to how the complete tool will be used.
From measurements to remaining-charge estimates
State-of-charge estimation helps users understand remaining battery charge. Its behavior depends on cell characteristics, capacity settings, charge and discharge history, and calibration conditions, and should be evaluated with the intended battery pack.
From cells to the complete tool, battery management needs to match real operating conditions.
Integrate protection into the system
A garden-tool BMS combines overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, short-circuit and temperature protection. Thresholds and recovery behavior need to match the cells, pack and complete equipment.
Configure communications for the tool
The RSP1230-1003 supports 12-series garden-tool battery packs with 20Ah and 50Ah options. CAN, CAN FD, RS-485 or Ethernet can be configured for the application, with optional Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or 4G modules. Confirm the required combination during selection.
