General information

Short Summary
The Maltese company that designs and manufactures battery packs, chargers and battery operated power systems and inverters has recently designed a battery pack for e-bikes and kick scooters and is offering its customised services via a manufacturing agreement to international companies that manufacture or repair or rent equipment operated by batteries particularly electric bikes and electric scooters.
Full Description
The battery pack voltage designed for the electric bikes and kick scooters varies from 36V to 51V based on 18650 and 21700 cells. The battery management systems (BMS) are custom designed with track fuel gauge implemented with Texas Instruments impedance Track™ algorithm for best accuracy of predicted remaining capacity and run-time-to-empty during operation. They include a cell protector with integrated balancing function and protection thresholds and functions based on voltage, current and temperature parameters. They have additional secondary-level protection based on voltage and temperature for enhanced safety. They also include a self control protector fuse to further protect the pack in case of overcurrent or overvoltage and extreme electronic failure. They are additionally designed with extra protection against critical permanent failures that can occur during pack life. Additional logic is implemented in the BMS on a separate microcontroller to handle the battery communication to the system via CAN bus. A sensor with a history data log (with a time stamp) to track the battery pack usage, improve service activity, and protect against false warranty claims is also included.
Advantages and Innovations
The company has more than 25 years of experience developing Li-Ion battery packs and has been serving international clients – particularly in Europe and USA.
It has an internal R&D team that continuously designs innovative slim products supported by 3D models.
The team also design the external housing and realize any tooling needed for plastic injection.
Full product testing with computerized systems designed around each battery pack specification is also done internally.
The team is flexible to design and manufacture other related ancillaries including chargers, battery-operated power systems, and inverters
