Abstract

A simple yet suitable energy meter has been developed and described to estimate the performance of a previously designed electric kart lithium ion battery pack cell balancing module. A brief introduction regarding the battery pack and battery management system with passive dissipative resistor balancing construction under investigation is given. Both hardware and software design of the energy measurement device is described. A simple charging/discharging experiment results are presented to show some basic properties of the battery system.
