Systems and methods for a battery management system integrated in a battery pack configured for use in electric aircraft

A system comprising:

• an electric aircraft;
• a battery pack configured for use in the electric aircraft;
• a sensor suite in communication with the battery pack,
• wherein the sensor suite is configured to measure a plurality of battery pack data, and to detect a cell failure of a battery cell of the battery pack;
• a battery monitoring component in communication with the sensor suite,
• wherein the battery management component is configured to detect a fault in the battery pack during operation of the electric aircraft, and produce a notification of the fault detected in the battery pack;
• a battery management component in communication with the sensor suite,
• wherein the battery management component is configured to detect a fault in the battery pack based on the plurality of battery pack data, and produce a fault detection response mitigating the fault in the battery pack;
• and
• an interlock component operatively coupled to the battery management component, wherein the interlock component is configured to:
• during operation of the electric aircraft, selectively enable the battery monitoring component and selectively disable the battery management component;
• and
• while the battery pack is charging, selectively disable the battery monitoring component and selectively enable the battery management component.

A battery management and monitoring system for a battery pack configured for use in an electric aircraft, the system comprising:

• a sensor suite configured to measure a plurality of battery pack data;
• a battery management component in communication with the sensor suite, wherein the battery management component is configured to:
• detect a fault in the battery pack based on the plurality of battery back data, and
• produce a fault detection response mitigating the fault in the battery pack;
• and
• an interlock component operatively coupled to the battery management component,
• wherein, while the battery pack is charging, the interlock component is configured to selectively enable the battery management component to produce the fault detection response, and
• wherein the battery management component comprises a contactor control circuit configured to electrically switch an electrical power circuit of the battery pack.
