At 10:00 in
The First behind the scenes look EVER allowed at How Milwaukee Tools builds power tools & batteries
What happens here
This crucial step highlights the electronic 'brain' within each Milwaukee battery: the Battery Management System (BMS), known as 'Redlink Intelligence.' The presenter displays exposed circuit boards from various battery packs, illustrating how these sophisticated electronics continuously monitor critical parameters such as individual cell voltage, temperature, and current flow. The BMS is essential for protecting the battery from damaging conditions like overcharge, over-discharge, and overheating, thereby ensuring both the safety of the user and the longevity of the battery. Furthermore, the Redlink system facilitates intelligent communication between the battery and the tool, optimizing power delivery for efficient and consistent performance.
Goal: Learn about the function and importance of the Battery Management System (BMS) in cordless tool batteries.
