    摘要: A battery management system, a battery pack including same and a method for determining a failure in a current detecting circuit. The system includes the current detecting circuit configured to detect a reference current representing a current flowing through a high current path of the battery pack, a bidirectional switch including a charging FET and a discharging FET installed on the high current path, and a control unit. The control unit detects a first voltage across the charging FET and a second voltage across the discharging FET while a first high level voltage is applied to a gate of the charging FET and a second high level voltage is applied to a gate of the discharging FET. The control unit determines a failure in the current detecting circuit based on at least one of the first voltage and the second voltage and the reference current.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for selecting a ground capacitor that is connected between a ground of a circuit board included in a battery pack and a vehicle chassis. The apparatus includes a checking module configured to check a ground location on the circuit board; a selecting module configured to select a reference location on the circuit board, based on the ground location checked by the checking module; a calculating module configured to calculate a distance from the reference location selected by the selecting module to a nearest ground location as a reference distance; a computing module configured to compute a reference frequency by using the reference distance calculated by the calculating module; and a choosing module configured to choose a recommended capacitor, based on the reference frequency computed by the computing module.
