A modern battery electric vehicle is constantly monitored by sensors to detect thermal runaway events. KP497 is the advanced pressure sensor for battery management systems with further integrated features. Besides the key-function to warn in case of a thermal runaway event with highest efficiency, the KP497 provides a flexible system to support various Autonomous Low Power Monitoring (LPM) Modes + in-field programmability, an integrated 1-axis accelerations sensor for battery shock monitoring as part of economic evaluation of the battery (battery passport data) and an user data storage in Flash memory
