BMS 7S (20A ) Lithium Battery Protection Module | Pro Tronix

Product Description

The 7S 20A 24V Lithium Battery Management System (BMS) is a high-performance protection module engineered to monitor, balance, and safe-guard a 7-cell serial lithium-ion or lithium polymer battery pack. Operating at a nominal pack voltage of 24V (25.2V to 29.4V fully charged), this board acts as the central safety hub for your custom battery builds, managing a continuous discharge current of up to 20A.

This BMS provides critical industrial-grade protection mechanisms, including over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, and short-circuit prevention. It features an onboard passive cell-balancing circuit with precision resistors. As cells near full charge, the board automatically bleeds off excess voltage from higher-capacity cells, ensuring every single cell in the 7S configuration reaches its peak state evenly. This balancing action significantly maximizes your pack’s overall lifespan, runtime, and safety profile.

⚠️ Wiring Precaution Sequence: To prevent burning out the sensitive balancing IC, always follow the exact wiring sequence. Solder the balancing cable harness to your battery cells first while it is completely disconnected from the BMS board. Use a multimeter to verify that the voltage increases sequentially from B1 up to B7 on the connector plug. Only plug the cable harness into the BMS socket after verifying the wiring is 100% correct.

Connection Interface & Wiring Map

The board utilizes clear heavy-duty solder pads for high-current paths alongside a dedicated multi-pin balancing port:

• High-Current Power Pads:

  • B- (Battery Negative): Connect to the absolute negative terminal of the first battery cell (Cell 1 Negative).

  • P- (Pack Output / Charge Negative): Connect to your load’s negative wire AND your charger’s negative wire (Common port configuration).

  • Pack Positive (+): The positive wire of your load and charger bypasses the BMS board entirely and connects directly to the absolute positive terminal of the 7th battery cell (B7+).

• 7S Balancing Port Pinout (From right to left / lowest to highest voltage):

  • B-: Connects to Cell 1 Negative (shared reference).

  • B1: Connects to the junction between Cell 1 Positive and Cell 2 Negative.

  • B2: Connects to the junction between Cell 2 Positive and Cell 3 Negative.

  • B3: Connects to the junction between Cell 3 Positive and Cell 4 Negative.

  • B4: Connects to the junction between Cell 4 Positive and Cell 5 Negative.

  • B5: Connects to the junction between Cell 5 Positive and Cell 6 Negative.

  • B6: Connects to the junction between Cell 6 Positive and Cell 7 Negative.

  • B7: Connects to the absolute positive terminal of Cell 7.

Applications

• Electric Bikes & Scooters: Building or rebuilding 24V lightweight battery packs for e-mobility vehicles and electric skateboards.
