Study Notes
Global Dealer Learning: CAT Battery Packs
- This document is for learning about CAT 50V, 300V, and 600V battery packs.
- The study module includes information and diagrams of the battery pack's components.
- The document is intended to familiarize users with the four primary components of the 50V, 300V, and 600V battery packs.
- CAT® Battery packs consist of multiple battery modules that store electrical charge.
- A Power Electronics Module (PEM) controls the flow of hazardous voltage (HaV) to and from the battery modules.
- A Battery Management System (BMS) Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors and controls the battery modules and PEM, during charging and discharging of DC voltage.
- A Cat Product Link™ radio communicates BMS data to remote users.
