Lithium-ion battery packs are widely used because they offer high energy density, low weight, and good cycle life. Nickel-based packs are valued for durability in certain environments, while lead-acid packs remain common in backup power due to cost and reliability.

The BMS is the central control for the battery and vehicle interface. It handles a wide range of signals, including cell-level inputs, collision detection, CAN bus, charging, coolant pumps, high-voltage systems, and insulation monitoring. A single deep discharge can permanently.

A quick rule is to divide watts by 10 for 12V systems or 20 for 24V systems. For more accuracy, divide the load by the actual battery voltage and adjust for inverter efficiency (typically 85%).
