• Battery Lifetime Statistics: The Tiny BMS s516 tracks and stores various statistics over its lifetime. These statistics are apparently non-volatile, meaning the data is preserved even if the battery is disconnected from the BMS.
• Battery Insider Statistics Tab: The Battery Insider software provides a dedicated “Statistics” tab to view these lifetime statistics. The exact data points tracked aren’t mentioned in this excerpt, but the image suggests it might include:
  • Maximum discharge current
  • Maximum charge current
  • Maximum cell voltage difference
  • Under-voltage protection count
  • Over-voltage protection count
  • Discharge over-current protection count
  • Charge over-current protection count
  • Over-heat protection count
  • Charging count
  • Fully charged count
  • Minimum and Maximum pack temperatures
• Clearing Statistics: The BMS allows users to clear all lifetime statistics using the “Clear Statistics” button within the Battery Insider software. It’s important to note that this action permanently erases the data from the BMS memory.

The Battery Insider software is a valuable tool for understanding the long-term health and performance of the battery pack. By monitoring lifetime statistics, users can gain insights into factors like charging cycles, temperature extremes, and potential protection events experienced by the battery pack.

• Cell Settings: The Battery Insider software allows for comprehensive configuration of various cell parameters within the Tiny BMS s516.
• Voltage Cutoff Thresholds: Users can set critical voltage thresholds to prevent over-charging and over-discharging of the battery pack. The software enforces a hierarchy where the Fully Charged Voltage must be within the range of Over-Voltage Cutoff and Fully Discharged Voltage, and the Fully Discharged Voltage must be within the range of Fully Charged Voltage and Under-Voltage Cutoff.
• Charge Finished Current: This setting determines the minimum current at which the BMS considers charging to be complete. Different BMS models and configurations may have limitations on this value.
• Balancing Threshold and Allowed Disbalance: These settings control the automatic cell balancing behavior within the BMS. Cell balancing helps to maintain equal voltages across all cells in the battery pack, thereby extending its lifespan.
• Number of Series Cells: This setting allows the user to configure the BMS for the specific number of series-connected cells within the battery pack.
• Battery Capacity: The user can specify the total capacity (Ah) of the battery pack.
• State-of-Charge (SoC): The Battery Insider software allows for manually setting the estimated remaining capacity of the battery pack.
• Upload to BMS: This button commits all configuration changes from the Battery Insider software to the BMS hardware.
• Safety Settings: The Battery Insider software allows configuration of various safety parameters within the Tiny BMS s516 to protect the battery pack from damage:
  • Over-voltage and Under-voltage Cutoff: These settings define the voltage thresholds at which the BMS will automatically disconnect the battery to prevent over-charging or over-discharging.
  • Discharge and Charge Over-current Cutoff: These settings define the current thresholds at which the BMS will cut off discharge or charging current to prevent excessive current flow. The allowable current limits depend on the specific BMS model, configuration, and current sensor used.
  • Over-temperature Cutoff: The BMS can shut down if the battery pack temperature exceeds the user-defined maximum threshold.
  • Low-Temperature Charger Cutoff: The BMS can prevent charging if the battery pack temperature falls below the user-defined minimum threshold.

• Automatic Recovery: The BMS can automatically recover from warning or fault conditions after a timeout period set by the user. Alternatively, automatic recovery can be disabled, in which case, recovery would require manual intervention (restarting the BMS, connecting a charger, or toggling the ignition signal if enabled).

The Battery Insider software equips users with comprehensive control over the safety features of the Tiny BMS s516, allowing them to optimize protection for their specific battery pack application.

This feature allows you to record BMS data over time for later analysis.

• Data Selection: You can choose which specific BMS data points to include in the log file. The image doesn’t show the available data points, but it likely includes parameters like cell voltages, currents, temperatures, and battery pack voltage/current.
• Logging Interval: This setting determines the frequency at which BMS data is recorded in the log file. It can range from 1 second to 1 hour (3600 seconds).
• Log File Size: This setting defines the maximum size of the log file. The BMS can automatically start a new log file when the current file reaches this size limit. The allowed range is from 2 MB to 1024 MB (1 GB).
• Start Logging from Beginning: When enabled, this option will cause the BMS to start writing data at the beginning of the log file again when it reaches the maximum file size, effectively overwriting the oldest data.
• Start/Stop Logging: These buttons allow you to manually control the logging process. You can start logging data or stop it completely.

Overall, the “Log to file” settings tab in Battery Insider equips users with a valuable tool for capturing BMS data at desired intervals and file sizes. This data can be useful for troubleshooting BMS behavior, monitoring battery health over time, and optimizing performance.

This setting allows you to configure the BMS for either:

• Dual Port operation: This mode uses separate ports for charging (C-port) and discharging (L-port) of the battery pack.
• Single Port operation: In this mode, the same C-port is used for both charging and discharging.

Load and Charger Switch Type: These settings determine how the BMS controls the connection of the battery pack to the load (device using battery power) and charger. You can choose between:

• Internal FET: The BMS uses its built-in FET (electronic switch) to manage connection.
• External relay/contactor: The BMS provides a control signal to an external relay or contactor for switching. This option is only available on high power 150A BMS models.

Ignition Feature (for high power 150A BMS only): This feature allows you to control the BMS based on an ignition signal, potentially from a vehicle. You can set the signal level for ignition on and off.

Precharge Feature (for high power 150A BMS only): This feature enables a pre-charge stage at a lower current before full connection to the load. You can choose to use either the internal FET or an external output pin for pre-charge control.

Charger Detection: This setting allows you to configure how the BMS detects a connected charger. You can choose between:

• Internal detection: The BMS uses its built-in circuitry to detect the charger.
• External input pin: The BMS relies on a signal on a designated pin to determine charger connection.

Speed Sensor Input (optional): This setting enables the BMS to calculate speed (likely for electric vehicles) based on a signal from a speed sensor.

Broadcast Protocol: This setting allows you to configure how the BMS transmits data to other devices. You can choose between:

• CA V3: Used for communication with the Ebike Analyzer Android App.
• ASCII: Broadcasts BMS data in a text format.
• SOC BAR: Used for communication with an LED indicator for displaying the State of Charge (SOC) of the battery pack.

Broadcast: This setting enables or disables the periodic broadcast of BMS data according to the chosen protocol.

Temperature Sensor Type: This setting allows you to select the type of temperature sensor used for monitoring the battery pack.

The Peripheral settings tab in Battery Insider provides comprehensive control over how the Tiny BMS s516 interacts with external components and communicates data. This level of control allows for customization based on the specific application of the battery pack.
