With the increased use of batteries in everyday life, it is crucial to have a robust and reliable battery system that can continue to power our devices. This paper will investigate the reliability, impact on the batteries, and functionality of the bidirectional battery management system (BMS). The design uses two bidirectional switches for each cell, one in series with the cell and one in parallel with the other bidirectional switch and cell. This will allow the cell to be taken in and out of the circuit for any reason determined by the BMS. Taking the battery in and out of …
