Infographic: State of Charge Estimations from the BMS

State of Charge (SoC) is one of the most important state estimations for batteries. However, it can be a tricky metric. Why?

Battery management system estimations of SoC are based on direct measurements like current, voltage, and temperature. While useful, these methods face significant limitations in real-world scenarios. Sensor noise, aging effects, and operational dynamics can cause inaccurate SoC readings.
