Initial situation
TPS Elektronik GmbH was commissioned by a customer from the medical sector to develop a lightweight and portable charge/discharge device for lithium-ion batteries (IC2 bus). The goal was to create a user-friendly, compact system designed to ensure reliable and safe energy management.
The TPS solution
- The charging and discharging process is fully controlled via the I²C bus.
- The device communicates directly with the battery management system (BMS) for monitoring and control.
- Users can set the desired capacity as a percentage at the push of a button.
- Implementation was completed within only ten weeks – including concept development, PCB layout, firmware programming, and prototype release.
Our team managed the entire development chain: from concept and hardware/software design to rapid prototyping, testing, and integration. This enabled the customer to benefit from a very fast time-to-market.
