BMS1202
12S BMS SlaveThe BMS1202 is an ultra-compact digital daisy-chain slave engineered for 5S to 12S lithium battery packs in space-constrained energy storage and mobility systems. Measuring just 65 by 43.5 mm, it reads every cell to 0.1 mV resolution and balances passively at up to 420 mA per cell. An isolated daisy-chain interface lets up to 16 modules stack across distances beyond 10 meters, and the board is self-powered from the cells it monitors, so it integrates as a plug-and-play slave with no hardware or software configuration.

Overview
The BMS1202 is an ultra-compact slave module built for distributed 5S to 12S battery systems where space is tight. It measures every cell with 0.1 mV resolution and balances passively at up to 420 mA per cell, keeping packs aligned without adding bulk. An isolated daisy-chain interface stacks up to 16 modules across more than 30 meters, so capacity scales cleanly under a single master. Self-powered from the cells it monitors and waking on master communication, it works out of the box with no configuration.
Highlighted Features
- 01
Flexible Cell Support
Monitors and protects from 5 to 12 cells, depending on cell chemistry.
- 02
Flexible Temperature Support
Up to 3 temperature sensors for comprehensive monitoring.
- 03
Automatic Sleep or Run Mode
Device runs in full power mode when powered up while communicating with master. If master stops communication, slave devices goes to deep sleep mode for minumum power consumption after 3 seconds. Any communication from master will wake the device up immediately.
- 04
Power Supply
Board is self-powered from the cells it monitors.
- 05
Up to 420mA Balancing Current per Cell
Capable of 420mA per cell balancing current. Proper cooling need to be considered at system level.
- 06
Easy Daisy-Chain Integration
Easy to use, plug-and-play integration with standard CAT-5 cable via RJ45 ports.
