Battery management system and battery pack

Abstract

The present invention relates to a battery management system and a battery pack and the battery management system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a pack voltage sampling unit configured to periodically sample a pack voltage of a battery pack; a pack current sampling unit configured to sample a pack current of the battery pack; and a control unit configured to, after starting to sample the pack voltage of the battery pack, when the pack voltage sampling of the battery pack is completed, record a time from a sampling start time of the pack voltage to a sampling completion time of the pack voltage as a first time, and transmit a voltage sampling synchronization signal for measuring a cell voltage of a battery cell to a plurality of lower-level battery management systems, wherein the control unit performs sampling synchronization on the sampled measurement signal between each lower-level battery management system based on a second time, which is a sampling time at which a cell voltage measurement received from each lower-level battery management system is performed, and the first time.
