Battery Management Module

Visteon's Battery Management Module is designed to monitor and control the vehicle's charging system and is mounted to the battery cable, either positive or negative. The module precisely measures battery voltage and current to determine the state of the battery. Used in a closed loop control system, the module regulates the generator to manage the vehicle's electrical bus. The result enables maximized fuel economy and battery life, while
meeting user demands.

Benefits

• Provides generator control using three control modules: charging; fuel economy; and NVH mitigation which takes into account special load requirements.
• Packages easily on either the positive or negative vehicle battery cable, minimizing underhood space requirements due to its small, efficient packaging.
• Provides a link to other vehicle systems, offering greater intelligence toward vehicle control (e.g., CAN, J1850, LIN).
• Provides driver information relative to the status of the vehicle's charging system through the instrument cluster.
