How does battery health degrade over time and what can BMS do to prevent it?

Q: Why does battery health degrade, and how can BMS systems slow down this process?

A: Battery degradation occurs due to chemical and physical changes within the cells, often accelerated by overcharging, deep discharges, or extreme temperatures. The BMS mitigates degradation by optimizing charging cycles, ensuring that batteries are neither overcharged nor discharged too deeply, and by balancing cells to prevent uneven wear. This proactive management minimizes the impact of degradation over time.
