The safety of lithium-based battery systems is an important concern in electric vehicles (EVs), particularly during charging and abnormal operating conditions. Excessive temperature, inappropriate charging, voltage variations and electrical faults can accelerate battery degradation and may contribute to hazardous thermal events. This paper presents an IoT-enabled fire protection and charge monitoring system intended to improve the operational safety of an EV battery management system (BMS). The proposed system combines battery parameter monitoring, temperature sensing, wireless energy transfer and cloud-based supervision. Battery voltage, temperature and state-of-charge information are continuously observed by the monitoring unit and transmitted to an IoT platform for remote visualization. The Blynk application provides a convenient interface through which the user can observe battery conditions and receive warnings when abnormal conditions occur. A protective response can be initiated when monitored parameters exceed predefined safe limits, including interruption of charging or activation of a cooling/protection mechanism. The prototype also incorporates a regulated low-voltage supply and wireless charging arrangement to demonstrate the integration of charging and monitoring functions. Experimental observations reported in the project indicate that the system can detect temperature variations, monitor charging conditions and provide remote information with stable operation. The proposed approach demonstrates how IoT connectivity can complement conventional BMS functions and provide an additional layer of safety and remote supervision for electric mobility applications.
KEYWORDS
The proposed IoT-based fire protection and charge monitoring system provides an effective approach for improving the safety, reliability, and performance of Battery Management Systems (BMS) in electric vehicles. By continuously monitoring important battery parameters such as temperature, voltage, and state of charge, the system can identify abnormal operating conditions and provide timely alerts. The integration of IoT and the Blynk platform enables remote monitoring of battery conditions, while the fire protection mechanism helps reduce the risk associated with overheating and potential thermal hazards. The developed system also supports safe and efficient charging by preventing conditions such as overcharging and undercharging, thereby contributing to improved battery performance and longevity. The combination of real-time monitoring, IoT-based communication, and protective measures makes the system suitable for enhancing EV battery safety. Further improvements can include advanced smoke and gas detection sensors and predictive maintenance techniques to provide earlier fault identification and more intelligent battery health monitoring.
