A battery management system (BMS) includes a first switch, a master BMS, and a slave BMS. The first switch is coupled to a charging and discharging path of a battery pack, which includes at least one battery cell. The master BMS is electrically coupled to the first switch to control operation of the first switch. The slave BMS obtains information of the battery pack, determines a status of the battery pack based on the information, and controls operation of the first switch based on the status of the battery pack.
