Custom Smart BMS: Boards, Firmware & Protocols

In-house BMS engineering from 3S to 32S and 30A to 500A: UART, RS485, CAN and Bluetooth 5.0 with WiFi/4G cloud modules, OTA firmware updates, and protocol libraries mapped to the inverter brands you sell. Boards ship inside our own battery lines — and yours, with your protection thresholds, your connectors and your label.

Line Overview

A BMS Team Inside a Battery Factory

Most pack factories buy protection boards from a broker and accept whatever firmware comes on them. We run BMS design in-house — schematic, PCB layout, firmware and protocol mapping — inside a 280+ engineer organization, because the boards protect the packs we warranty. That means your protection thresholds, balancing strategy and comms stack are engineering decisions we can defend with test data, not a supplier's catalog page.

  • Coverage — 3S to 32S: 12V drop-ins through 72V light-electric packs and high-voltage LFP stacks, at 30–500A continuous with higher peak ratings.
  • Communications — UART, RS485 and CAN running simultaneously with Bluetooth 5.0; WiFi and 4G modules where packs report to a cloud.
  • Protection set — overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, short circuit, high temperature, low temperature and balancing, all threshold-programmable.
  • Balancing — passive standard; active balancing at 1–5A for 280Ah-class stacks and drift-prone fleet duty.
  • Firmware — OTA updates over WiFi/4G with local Bluetooth updates as fallback; white-label monitoring apps available.

Protocol Ecosystem

Inverter Protocols Already on File

Each profile below is a register-level mapping our firmware team maintains: pack voltage and current, SOC and SOH reporting, cell-level alarms, and the charge-parameter handoff the inverter expects. If your target device is not on the list, send us a CAN capture from a sample unit and we map it.

CAN · hybrid inverters

Deye

Single- and three-phase hybrid profiles: SOC windows, charge and discharge limits and alarm frames mapped so the battery enumerates as a recognized slave on the bus.

CAN · VE.Can compatible

Victron

Profiles aligned with Victron GX-class system integration: battery parameters surface in the color controller, with CVL/CCL/DCL limits driven from live BMS state.

CAN · off-grid & hybrid

Growatt

SPF and SPH family communication: handshaking, SOC synchronization and low-power shutdown behavior matched to the inverter's own logic.

CAN · rack-battery standard

Pylontech-Compatible

The frame format many off-grid and rack inverters expect from a "Pylontech-style" battery — supported natively so parallel modules enumerate without a gateway.

CAN · island systems

SMA

Sunny Island-compatible profiles: charge voltages, temperature derating and fault codes mapped into the inverter's battery-management model.

CAN · LXP hybrids

Luxpower

LXP hybrid inverter profiles with SOC accounting and time-of-use charge windows driven by the BMS state, for the EU and Africa distribution networks running these units.

Customization Process

How a Custom BMS Program Runs

Spec & Protocol Capture

Send series count, continuous current, comms interfaces and target protocols — plus a CAN capture if your device is off-list. An engineer replies within 24 hours with a feasibility read.

Schematic & Proposal

First schematic and a costed proposal land in 2 working days: protection thresholds, balancing strategy, connector plan and the PCB outline against your pack geometry.

Prototype & Firmware

PCB samples run with your firmware build — bench validation against protocol captures, temperature-chamber checks and cycle testing on pilot packs, typically 15–20 days.

Production

Volume boards ship with 100% functional test records and locked firmware revision. OTA channels stay open for field updates across your fleet.

Buyer Questions

BMS Programs, Answered by the Numbers

Can you mirror an existing inverter protocol?
Yes. We maintain register-level libraries for Deye, Victron, Growatt, Pylontech-compatible, SMA and Luxpower, and new mappings start from a CAN capture of your target device. Because the firmware is ours, mapping is a release cycle inside our team — not a change request to an outside board supplier. Commercially: custom PCB layouts start at 200–500 pcs, standard board configurations from 10 units, and sample fees credit against the first order.
Passive or active balancing?
Passive balancing is standard and sufficient for matched A-grade prismatic packs. Active balancing at 1–5A is quoted for 280Ah-class stacks, wide-temperature duty and fleet packs where cell drift compounds — it moves charge between cells instead of burning it off.
How is firmware maintained in the field?
Boards with WiFi or 4G modules update over the air on signed firmware, with staged rollout across a fleet. Bluetooth-only boards update locally through the service app as fallback. Every production batch ships with a locked, testable firmware revision you can audit.
