There are many research articles featuring the significance of batteries that require energy stockpiling for some reason. Lead-Acid batteries are generally utilized in light of their dependability and strength. We chose Lead-Corrosive batteries since they are not difficult to screen and ordinarily accessible in Pakistan. This project will describe the Management System for Lead-Acid batteries, designed to monitor the battery's behavior. In order to accomplish this goal, the following system design objectives were initiated. Lead-Acid batteries are being used because of their increased cost-effectiveness compared to the other type of batteries available in the market all around us, domestically and commercially. They consist of two electrodes—a cathode and an anode—dipped in an electrolytic solution. The battery can withstand numerous charges and recharge cycles, but the temperature significantly affects the battery's performance. High and low temperatures can impact the battery heavily in the long and short term. If not properly monitored, the extreme temperature will almost certainly result in battery failures. It would be easier to study the behavior of the battery and predict its lifecycle, charging, and discharging times, so we will deploy a mechanism to automate the log as mentioned above parameters to improve the battery payback period. The objective of this project is to provide different parameters of the lead acid battery, such that DoD (Depth of discharge), SoC (State of Charge), SoH (State of Health), current, voltage, time estimation (charging/discharging), temperature and water level. The project involves designing and developing a battery management system (BMS). It smartly monitors, controls, and manages battery health.
