5S 21V 30A BMS Battery Protection Board for Power Tools
5S 21V BMS Battery Protection Circuit Board for Power Tools
Keep your lithium-ion battery packs running safely and efficiently with this high-performance 5S 21V Battery Management System (BMS) Protection Board. Designed specifically for 5-series Li-ion battery packs used in electric power tools, this compact circuit board delivers comprehensive charge and discharge protection, extending the life of your battery cells and keeping your tools performing at their best.
Featuring a dedicated 5S lithium battery IC processor, the board continuously monitors real-time voltage, charge/discharge current, and ambient temperature across each individual cell — giving you multi-layer protection in a single compact unit. Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- 5S Li-Ion Compatible: Engineered for 5-cell series lithium-ion battery packs (18V/21V systems)
- Overcharge Protection: Prevents cells from exceeding safe voltage limits (4.25V per cell) with a 1-second protection delay
- Over-Discharge Protection: Automatically cuts off discharge before cells drop to damaging low-voltage levels
- Short-Circuit Protection: Instantly detects and responds to short-circuit events to safeguard your batteries and tools
- High Continuous Discharge Current: Rated at 40A/50A continuous, with a peak capacity of up to 100A — ideal for demanding power tool applications
- NTC Temperature Sensing: Built-in NTC thermistor monitors ambient temperature to prevent thermal damage
- Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Working current ~25µA; quiescent current ~6µA — minimal drain on your battery pack
- 5S 21V Indicator Included: Visual charge status indication for easy monitoring
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C (RH <75%)
- Compact Design: Measures just 9 × 6.2 × 1.6 cm for easy fitment in most power tool battery housings
