Battery and Current Sensors

High Voltage Current Sensing Module

We have developed a shunt-based current sensor for automotive applications in High Voltage Battery Management Systems for electric or hybrid vehicles.

Continental has developed a shunt-based current sensor for automotive applications in High Voltage Battery Management Systems for electric or hybrid vehicles. The sensor provides information about current and temperature to Battery Management System ECU (Electronic Control Unit).
The Current Sensing Module (CSM) communicates via CAN interface.
