Active Battery Management System for Electric Longboard

Emphasizing the focus on recycling and sustainability is one of the hot topics all over the world. In this work, a long, non-electrical board was transformed into an electrical board. Hence, the battery management system was created to effectively balance 18,650 cells during charge and discharge cycles as well as a wireless remote control to control the electrical long panel. To do that, the skateboard has been fitted with a brushless DC motor to drive a single wheel located on the rear truck to allow the user to use controllers for sending analog signals to drive the motor with variable speed outputs. A better battery management system has been designed to make the power system more affordable, and ecological. Moreover, hot swap battery system using 18650 interchanged Lithium-Ion battery cells has been built. Besides, it is proven that this system is more robust and reliable than the ordinary two-piece AA battery system. The new proposed system has the capability of having a large battery grid that can be rearranged to satisfy the user's needs. It allows the user to change between the speed function and the torque function.
