Abstract
A Wireless battery area network permits the wirelessly monitoring and controlling of individual batteries within large-scale battery applications. The system automatically configures its wireless nodes in the network and provides for the linking of a plurality of batteries () to a master battery management unit (M-BMU) () by establishing a wireless battery area network within a battery pack that include slave units (S-BMU) (). The entire system may also be controlled by a top level battery management unit (T-BMU) (). The system and method allows for the monitoring of voltage, current, temperature, or impedance of individual batteries and for the balancing or bypassing of a battery.
