BMS C1 open-hardware board and enclosure interface reference.

## In plain English

### What it does

A battery management system monitors the cells in a battery and controls whether charging and discharging are allowed. It helps keep the cells within their operating limits.

### A simple example

In a microgrid battery rack, the management system can request that charging stops if a cell becomes too hot.

### What the drawings help you do

Use the selected manufacturer's drawings to check the equipment's size, mounting points and cable connections. The layout helps you plan where it fits and how it can be reached for maintenance. An illustrative 3D preview does not establish product dimensions or required clearances.

### Terms

- Rating: A value stating the conditions for which equipment is specified.
- Schematic: A drawing showing function and connections rather than physical appearance.
