Automotive electronics supplier Hella is partnering with ground fault monitoring and protection equipment maker Bender to develop a new isolation monitor for lithium-ion batteries.
The new new isolation monitor is expected to facilitate safe and reliable operation of high voltage batteries for electric and advanced hybrid vehicles.
Hella provides battery management algorithms to measure and monitor current, voltage and temperature.
Adittionally, the isolation monitor of the system provides enhanced protection against electric shock by detecting the isolation resistance of the high-tension onboard system.
Hella is expanding its product portfolio into the field of high-voltage battery management, by partnering with Bender.
