What is the difference between a Protection Circuit Module (PCM) and a Battery Management System (BMS)?
When developing battery packs, the question arises as to which safety system the pack should be equipped with. Is a Protection Circuit Module (PCM) sufficient? Or should a Battery Management System (BMS) be integrated? What are the differences between the mechanisms? And what advantages and functions does which protection mechanism offer? The answer here, as

What special features are there to consider when designing-in a lithium polymer cell?
What special features are there to consider when designing-in a lithium polymer cell? An important point, according to battery expert Dr Jürgen Heydecke, is certainly the so-called “swelling”, the natural swelling of a lithium polymer cell in a fully charged state and over cycles. A fully charged cell is thicker than a discharged one. During
