Rechargeable Battery System Projects

OpenBatt builds open-source rechargable battery system projects — hardware, firmware, and docs, all free.

OpenBMS

Our main project is an open-source battery management system for 2 to 7-cell Li-Ion and Li-Po packs. It handles fuel gauging, cell balancing, learning algorithms, overcharge/overdischarge/overheat protection, and communication with chargers and microcontrollers.

OpenBMS Load

A companion resistive load board designed for testing the BMS through full charge and discharge cycles. It supports up to 600W of power dissipation, adjustable load current, fan cooling with speed control, and a three-way switch to select charge, discharge or idle mode.

About OpenBatt

We are a few engineers who love making battery projects and can’t believe how complicated, expensive, and proprietary they become. It doesn’t have to be rocket science, right?

What Is This About?

Open source embedded electronics projects for rechargeable batteries. Schematics, firmware, docs — all free, all open, all yours. Use it, break it, improve it, ship it in your project. We genuinely don’t mind.
