What is BMS reset？

A Battery Management System (BMS) is responsible for monitoring and controlling battery charging, discharging, and overall battery health. BMS reset is the process of resetting BMS to default settings. A BMS reset is the process of restoring the battery management system to its default settings.

The principle of BMS reset？

The principle of a BMS reset is to restore the battery management system to its default configuration. A BMS is designed to monitor and control battery charging and discharging to ensure safe operation and extend battery lifespan. Over time, the BMS may store data and settings related to an old battery, which may no longer be suitable when a new battery is installed. Performing a BMS reset clears all stored data and settings, returning the system to its default state. This allows the BMS to relearn the characteristics of the new battery, optimizing performance and extending battery life.

In addition, a BMS reset can be used to resolve internal BMS issues. If the BMS is not functioning correctly, a reset may clear errors or malfunctions and restore normal operation.

Overall, the purpose of a BMS reset is to ensure safe and optimal operation, whether adapting to a new battery or resolving BMS-related issues.

Do you have to reset BMS?

So, does the BMS have to be reset?

Actually not!  Whether the BMS needs to be reset depends on the situation. For example, if you are experiencing issues with your battery or BMS, you may need to reset the BMS to clear any error codes or malfunctions that are preventing the system from functioning properly. However, resetting the BMS should only be considered after confirming the problem. Improper BMS reset may damage the battery or even pose a safety hazard.

In order to let you understand when you need to reset the BMS, we have summarized the following situations:

① Unbalanced battery: If the performance of each battery in the battery pack is unbalanced, it may be necessary to reset BMS to recalibrate the system.

② Battery replacement: After replacing the battery, the BMS needs to be reset to calibrate to the new battery.

③ Replace the battery monitoring sensor: reset the BMS to ensure that the battery monitoring sensor can operate normally.

④ Voltage or temperature error: The BMS has detected an error in the battery voltage or temperature reading and needs to be reset to clear the error.

⑤ Software update: Reset the BMS to ensure it works properly with the updated software.

What should be paid attention to when resetting BMS?

BMS is a key component in maintaining battery health and safety. Resetting the BMS is a careful process so as not to damage the battery or the BMS. The reset of BMS needs to pay attention to the following points:

① Disconnect the battery: Before resetting the BMS, disconnect the battery from the power supply to ensure that the BMS is not damaged during the reset process.

② Wait for the battery to cool down: If the battery gets hot from use or charging, let it cool down before resetting the BMS, because resetting the BMS on a hot battery may damage the battery or the BMS.

③ Use the correct tools: Use the correct tools and equipment to avoid damage to the battery or BMS.

④ Reset the BMS only if necessary: If the battery is working fine, you may not need to reset the BMS. Only reset the BMS if there is a problem with battery performance or if recommended by the manufacturer.

⑤ Perform the reset procedure according to the instructions: During the process of resetting the BMS, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions to perform the reset steps, otherwise the battery or BMS may be damaged.

BMS reset tools

BMS reset tools are devices specially used to reset the battery BMS. These tools help restore battery performance and functionality. But it should be noted that not all batteries have a reset function, and not all BMS reset tools are compatible with all types of batteries.
