VII. Procurement Recommendations
First, verify accuracy (voltage ≤5mV); second, check SOC (error ≤5%); third, select balancing (high-capacity active balancing); fourth, assess current (1.2–1.3x margin);
fifth, check protocols (CAN + IEC104)—BMS: Accuracy + Balancing + Communication (Three Key Factors).
